I need to change an old git commit message in Bitbucket. I tried git rebase -i and reworded my message, but when I pulled and committed it just kept the old message in Bitbucket and merged my changes in.

On the command line, navigate to the repository that contains the commit you want to amend. Type git commit --amend and press Enter. In your text editor, edit the commit message, and save the commit.
To change the most recent commit message, use the git commit --amend command. To change older or multiple commit messages, use git rebase -i HEAD~N . Don't amend pushed commits as it may potentially cause a lot of problems to your colleagues.
It's basically 4 step process. But a bit risky if multiple team member are working on the same branch and have their own copies. (If you are the only one working on it, go for it)
This git manual explains it beautifully: Amending older or multiple commit messages
git rebase -i HEAD~X (X=No of commit messages you want to change)git push -f
