Last Sunday night, “The Machine” Brian Cage became The New IMPACT Wrestling World Champion by defeating Johnny Impact at IMPACT Wrestling’s Rebellion PPV. This is Cage’s first time becoming The IMPACT Wrestling World Champion. Johnny Impact won The IMPACT Wrestling World Title back in October.
After the match, “Big Mike” Michael Elgin made his IMPACT Wrestling debut and confronted Cage. Cage held up his IMPACT Wrestling World Title and told Elgin that he would fight him anytime. Elgin then punched Cage in his face, hit a spinning powerbomb and held The IMPACT Wrestling World Title for a moment. Elgin finished up his contract with NJPW on April 1st.

Not how I wanted or ever imagined this incredible night would end. I’ve chased this moment and have dreamt about this my entire life. And to have this be the outcome, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t break my heart. pic.twitter.com/Ogj7lD7L0x

It was then confirmed by PWInsider.com that Cage was legitimately taken to the hospital following Sunday night’s IMPACT Rebellion PPV, just moments after he won The IMPACT Wrestling World Title.
It is believed that he suffered some kind of back injury during a spot early in the match, where Johnny Impact performed a Spanish Fly off the entrance ramp to the floor. Not only did Cage finish the rest of the match, winning The IMPACT Wrestling World Title, but he also took an Elgin Bomb from the debuting Michael Elgin immediately after the match. More information regarding Cage’s injury and status will be provided once it is made available.
