Two title matches official for TNA No Surrender

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Two title matches are official for the Friday, February 23 TNA No Surrender event. 

As announced during Thursday’s Impact episode, Jordynne Grace will defend the TNA Knockouts Championship against Gisele Shaw at No Surrender. 

Shaw was the Ultimate X winner at Hard to Kill last month, but it remains unclear whether the No Surrender match is by virtue of cashing in that opportunity. Grace is coming off an appearance at WWE Royal Rumble in the women’s Rumble match last Saturday. 

The TNA World Championship will also be on the line at No Surrender. 

The promotion also announced during Impact that Moose will defend the TNA World title against Alex Shelley on February 23. 

Moose defeated Shelley in the main event of last month’s Hard to Kill event to win the title, and Shelley announced on Impact that he was cashing in his guaranteed rematch at No Surrender. 

No Surrender will air exclusively on TNA Plus at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, February 23. 

The lineup thus far: 

  • TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Gisele Shaw
  • TNA World Champion Moose defends against Alex Shelley
