TNA No Surrender in a nutshell: the stuff you expected to deliver did, and the stuff you didn’t expect to deliver was much, much better than expected.
It wouldn’t be TNA without some illogical booking and nonsensical backstage segments, but the in-ring material was so good that none of that mattered.
The main event pitted TNA World Champion Mike Santana and X Division champion Leon Slater against Nic Nemeth & Eddie Edwards in an ECW throwback match with a cast of thousands doing run-ins, interference, and returns.
We also saw the Hardys and the Righteous operating as a shockingly good team to take on Order 4.
But the real story was the contributions from people you’d least expect, such as Indi Hartwell, Arianna Grace, and most of all, the great Mike Jackson.
KUSHIDA & Kevin Knight will team up against Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers on Countdown to No Surrender next Friday (February 23). The pre-show starts at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time and will air for free on TNA+ and YouTube.
Edwards and Myers are part of The System in TNA, a new faction that also includes Moose and Alisha Edwards.
Moose is defending his TNA World Championship against Alex Shelley at No Surrender. The match has a “No Surrender” stipulation, which means that it can only end when either Moose or Shelley’s cornermen throw in the towel. Edwards and Myers will be in Moose’s corner. KUSHIDA and Knight will be in Shelley’s corner.
Moose defeated KUSHIDA in the main event of this week’s Impact episode. The show ended with Shelley and Knight saving KUSHIDA from an attack by The System.
No Surrender is a TNA+ special. The show is taking place live from the Alario Center in Louisiana.

Countdown to No Surrender: KUSHIDA & Kevin Knight vs. Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers
PCO is set for action at TNA Wrestling’s No Surrender special.
TNA has announced that PCO vs. Kon will take place at No Surrender 2024, which is being held at the Alario Center in Louisiana on Friday, February 23. It’s being billed as a match to prove who the baddest man in TNA is.
On Impact two weeks ago, Kon targeted PCO in an attack. Kon also betrayed his former The Design stablemate Deaner by attacking him too.
PCO and Kon then brawled on last Thursday’s Impact episode.
Recently on iMPACT!, Kon was on a mission to prove that he is the ‘Baddest Man in TNA.’ After telling Deaner that The Design is dead, Kon made a bold statement when he viciously assaulted the ‘French-Canadian Frankenstein,’ PCO. One week later, Kon demolished not one but two unlucky opponents before PCO attacked in retaliation. We can now confirm that at No Surrender, these two behemoths will face off one-on-one. Brace yourself for this hard-hitting collision between two of the most fearsome individuals on the TNA roster: PCO and Kon.
No Surrender will air live on TNA+ and TNA’s Ultimate Insiders YouTube service. Here’s everything that’s been announced for the show so far:
TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Gisele Shaw
No Surrender match: TNA World Champion Moose defends against Alex Shelley
X-Division Champion Chris Sabin defends against Mustafa Ali
Knockouts Tag Team Champions Decay (Havok & Rosemary) defend against MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly)
A new title match has been confirmed for TNA No Surrender 2024.
Decay (Havok & Rosemary) will defend their Knockouts Tag Team titles against MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly) at No Surrender on Friday, February 23. This is a rematch from Hard to Kill, where Havok & Rosemary defeated Slamovich & Kelly to become the new champions.
Decay defeated Mila Moore & Savannah Thorne on Impact two weeks ago. After the match, MK Ultra were interviewed and demanded that they get their rematch at No Surrender. They were interrupted by Jody Threat & Dani Luna, which led to Slamovich defeating Threat in a singles match later in the night.
No Surrender is taking place from New Orleans and will air live on TNA+ and TNA’s Ultimate Insiders YouTube service. Four title matches have now been made official for the show:
TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Gisele Shaw
No Surrender match: TNA World Champion Moose defends against Alex Shelley
X-Division Champion Chris Sabin defends against Mustafa Ali
Knockouts Tag Team Champions Decay (Havok & Rosemary) defend against MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly)

Four new matches have been added to Saturday’s No Surrender event.
A Texas Tornado no DQ match for the Knockouts Tag Team title has been added. Champions Fire N Flava (Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan) will face the team of Havok and Nevaeh. Nevaeh won a singles match against Hogan tonight by DQ after Steelz got involved in the match.
A six-woman tag team match has also been added. Susan, Kimber Lee, and Deonna Purazzo will face the team of Jordynne Grace, ODB, and Jazz. During a singles match between Lee and ODB on tonight’s show, Purrazzo and Susan interfered. This brought out Jazz and Jordynne Grace, who evened the odds.
Deaner and Cousin Jake will face off in a singles match. Jake rejected an offer tonight to join his cousin Deaner in the Violent by Design stable with Joe Doering and Eric Young. Jake said that instead, he would stand for something, officially giving himself the name he used prior to joining Impact, Jake Something. This caused Violent by Design to come out and attack him, but Deaner stopped the attack, saying that he wanted a match with Jake.
A six-person match was also added for No Surrender, with XXXL (Acey Romero and Larry D) and Tenille Dashwood teaming up to take on Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, and new member Black Taurus.
Here is the full card for Saturday’s No Surrender event, which will stream on Impact Plus:
Rich Swann vs. Tommy Dreamer for the Impact World title
The Good Brothers vs. Private Party for the Impact Tag Team titles
TJP vs. Rohit Raju for the Impact X Division title
Fire N Flava vs. Havok and Nevaeh in a Texas Tornado, no DQ match for the Impact Knockouts Tag Team titles
Deaner vs. Jake Something
XXXL & Tenille Dashwood vs. The Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, and Black Taurus)
Kimber Lee, Susan, and Deonna Purazzo vs. ODB, Jordynne Grace, and Jazz
Eddie Edwards and Matt Cardona vs. Brian Myers and Hernandez
Ace Austin vs. Blake Christian vs. Chris Bey vs. Daivari vs. Josh Alexander vs. Suicide vs. Trey Miguel vs. Willie Mack in a triple threat revolver match
Black Taurus appeared on tonight’s episode of Impact, joining Decay.
Taurus was introduced after XXXL (Acey Romero and Larry D), Kaleb with a K, and Tenille Dashwood came out, running down Decay (Rosemary and Crazzy Steve). Kaleb asked if any member of Decay would face him in a match tonight. Taurus answered the challenge and pinned Kaleb quickly with a spinning slam.
Later in the show, a six person tag match was made for No Surrender, with Rosemary, Steve, and Taurus teaming together to take on XXXL and Dashwood. That will take place this Saturday on Impact Plus.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Taurus had made appearances in MLW, PWG, and in Impact Wrestling during the promotion’s television tapings in Mexico.
Taurus has been a regular for AAA, appearing for the promotion off and on since 2012. The promotion hasn’t ran any events since TripleMania in December due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, they recently started taping shows this past weekend that will air on television through March.
Two matches have been added to the card for Impact Wrestling’s next Impact Plus special.
The former Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins will be on opposite sides of a tag team match at No Surrender, with Matt Cardona & Eddie Edwards facing Brian Myers & Hernandez. Impact Wrestling has also announced that the “Triple Threat Revolver” match will debut at No Surrender. It will feature Trey Miguel, Chris Bey, Ace Austin, Willie Mack, Josh Alexander, Blake Christian, Suicide, and Daivari.
The Triple Threat Revolver match “will be a revolving series of Triple Threat matches – three men begin, when somebody is pinned or submitted another man enters. When we get down to the final three, whoever scores the fall is the winner.” The winner will become the number one contender to the X-Division Championship. TJP is the current X-Division Champion and is defending his title against Rohit Raju at No Surrender.
Cardona & Edwards vs. Myers & Hernandez was set up for No Surrender after Cardona made a save for Edwards on this week’s Impact. After having his eye poked by Fallah Bahh two weeks ago and Edwards attacking his eye last week, Myers appeared while wearing an eye patch. Myers claimed that he’d love to face Edwards at No Surrender, but he had a doctor’s note due to Edwards attacking his eye.
Edwards then attacked Myers, but Hernandez ran in and laid out Edwards. Myers said that Edwards would be facing Hernandez at No Surrender instead. Cardona came out to the ring to make the save for Edwards. There was then a backstage segment where Edwards thanked Cardona for making the save. Cardona said he’s known Myers forever — but he wasn’t the kind of guy to hide behind a doctor’s note. Edwards proposed that they team up against Myers & Hernandez at No Surrender. Cardona told Edwards that he liked that idea.
Cardona made his Impact Wrestling debut by defeating Ace Austin via disqualification at last month’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view. Cardona & Josh Alexander then defeated Austin & Madman Fulton on Impact last week. There was a segment following the match where Myers told Alexander that he had the opportunity to be Myers’ partner but instead settled for Myers’ Marty Jannetty.
No Surrender will air on Impact Plus on Saturday, February 13. Here’s the updated card for the show:
Impact World Champion Rich Swann defends against Tommy Dreamer
Impact Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) defend against Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy)
X-Division Champion TJP defends against Rohit Raju
Matt Cardona & Eddie Edwards vs. Brian Myers & Hernandez
Triple Threat Revolver match (winner becomes number one contender to the X-Division Championship)
An X-Division title match has been announced for No Surrender.
TJP will defend the championship against Rohit Raju at the Impact Plus event that takes place on February 13. This comes after Raju defeated TJP in a match on tonight’s episode of Impact after Mahabali Shera made his return to the promotion by aligning himself with his former Desi Hit Squad team mate, attacking TJP.
TJP had won the title as Manik in a triple threat match against Raju and Chris Bey at last month’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view event. The stipulation had been that TJP could not challenge Raju while Raju still had the title. After TJP won the title and the ruse was revealed, Scott D’Amore then set a rematch between the two for this week’s Impact.
Matches already announced for No Surrender include Rich Swann vs. Tommy Dreamer for the Impact World title and Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson squaring off against AEW’s Private Party for the Impact World Tag Team titles.
Rich Swann’s next Impact World Championship defense is set.
It was announced on Tuesday night’s episode of Impact that Swann will defend his Impact World Championship against Tommy Dreamer at the promotion’s next Impact Plus event, No Surrender. During the opening of Tuesday’s Impact, Swann came out to the ring and called out Dreamer. He mentioned that No Surrender will be held on Dreamer’s 50th birthday, Saturday, February 13, and issued a challenge to Dreamer.
Sami Callihan came down and insisted on getting the next title shot instead. That brought out Chris Bey, as well as Moose, who also wanted a title match. It ended up in a brawl, with Willie Mack coming out to help Swann and Dreamer. However, Ken Shamrock then arrived, leaving Swann, Dreamer, and Mack laying.
Prior to the brawl, Swann informed Callihan, Bey, and Moose that his title match against Dreamer was already set for No Surrender.
Swann, Dreamer & Mack teamed with the returning Trey Miguel to defeat Callihan, Bey, Moose & Shamrock in the main event of Tuesday’s Impact.
Also set for No Surrender is a Impact Tag Team title match, with The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) defending the titles against AEW’s Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy). Private Party defeated Chris Sabin & James Storm on last week’s Impact to earn the title match.
Impact Wrestling has revealed when AEW’s Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy) will be getting their Impact Tag Team title shot.
It was announced today that Private Party (w/ Matt Hardy) will challenge The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) for the Impact Tag Team titles at No Surrender on Saturday, February 13. No Surrender is Impact Wrestling’s next Impact Plus special.
Private Party became the number one contenders to Anderson & Gallows’ titles by defeating Chris Sabin & the returning James Storm in the main event of this week’s Impact. AEW’s Tony Khan and Jerry Lynn appeared in the Impact Zone to scout the match. Hardy distracted the referee and Lynn interfered by holding onto Sabin’s leg as he was on the top rope. Private Party then hit Gin and Juice on Sabin to get the win.
After the number one contender’s match, Anderson & Gallows confronted Private Party. The show then ended in a brawl between Private Party, Anderson & Gallows, and Sabin & Storm.
Anderson & Gallows teamed with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega to defeat Impact World Champion Rich Swann, Moose & Sabin in the main event of this past Saturday’s Impact Hard to Kill pay-per-view.
Anderson & Gallows vs. Private Party is the first match that’s been announced for No Surrender.
