#5 Bullet Club issued a challenge on IMPACT Wrestling

The show opened with a match between Jake Something and Chris Bey. The pair went back and forth throughout the bout. Towards the end of the match, Jake caught Bey and hit the Black Hole slam to pick up the win via pinfall.

Following the match, the Bullet Club’s Guerillas of Destiny attacked Jake Something from behind. Mike Bailey stormed into the ring to help even the odds, however he fell prey to the numbers advantage after Jay White joined the assault.

After neutralizing Jake and Bailey, the Guerillas of Destiny issued a challenge to the IMPACT World Tag Team Champions, The Good Brothers.

Later in the night, Ace Austin offered to be Mike Bailey’s ally which backfired on him as Gail Kim announced an eight-man tag team match next week pitting Mike Bailey, Jake Something, Madman Fulton & Ace Austin against the team of Jay White, Chris Bey and the Guerillas of Destiny.

In another segment, The Good Brothers and Violent By Design decided to continue their alliance to fend off the threat of The Bullet Club.

#4 Jordynne Grace answered Matt Cardona's challenge on IMPACT Wrestling

Following her successful title defense last week on IMPACT Wrestling, Jordynne Grace was confronted by Matt Cardona, who issued a challenge to her. In a backstage interview this week, Jordynne accepted Cardona's challenge for a title match.


#3 Mickie James addressed the IMPACT Zone

The entire Knockouts division surrounded the ring for the announcement as IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Famer Gail Kim introduced Knockouts World Champion, Mickie James.

James heaped praise on the Knockouts division, starting with The IInspiration, Jordynne Grace, and Deonna Purrazzo. The latter, however, stormed off calling the entire thing a waste of time.

James stated that she would be making history by being the first outsider champion to compete in a Rumble match. She stated that she would win the Rumble and defend the Knockouts Championship in a title for a title match at WrestleMania.

Chelsea Green stepped up and asked James for a title shot. Before the champion could answer, Tasha Steelz entered the fray with Savannah Evans. Steelz stated that by courtesy of winning the Ultimate X match, she is the number one contender and decided to challenge James at No Surrender. A brawl broke out between the four as Green and James stood tall, forcing Steelz and Evans to retreat.

This week on IMPACT Wrestling, Brian Myers recruited new members to The Learning Tree and the members were tasked with joining Zicky Dice and VSK to fight W.Morrissey in a handicap match. Despite facing overwhelming odds, Morrissey overcame them and won the bout. Following the match, Moose laid Morrissey out with a Spear courtesy of a distraction from The Learning Tree and Brian Myers.


#1 High stakes match announced on IMPACT Wrestling

The renegade group known as Honor No More returned to the IMPACT Zone but they were confronted by Josh Alexander, Chris Sabin, Rhino, Rich Swann, and Eddie Edwards.

Scott D’Amore announced a high-stakes match for No Surrender between Honor No More and Team IMPACT. The stipulation for the match is that if the former wins, they could continue to stay in IMPACT Wrestling. However, they would be forced to leave if the latter ended up winning. He also announced a match between Chris Sabin and PCO for later in the night.

In the main event, PCO picked up the win courtesy of a distraction. Team Honor No More continued to beat up Sabin before Team IMPACT made the save and sent them packing to close this week's show.
