#5 Jay White betrayed G.O.D.

The leaders of the Bullet Club and Violent By Design went toe-to-toe at No Surrender, where White dominated initially before Young turned the tables with a DDT. Both tried underhanded tactics to one-up each other, but White got the better of Young by hitting the Blade Runner for the win.

When Guerrillas of Destiny challenged The Good Brothers for the IMPACT World Tag Team Championship later in the night, a wild brawl kickstarted the match with G.O.D. gaining the upper hand. The action picked up pace as Tama Tonga took out Anderson with a top rope splash.

Chris Bey headed down the ramp, and amidst the chaos, Jay White hit the Blade Runner on Tonga. The champions seized the moment with a Magic Killer to retain the tag team titles.

#4 Number one contender crowned at No Surrender

John Skyler battled X-Division Champion Trey Miguel on the pre-show, where the latter picked up the win. Meanwhile, the opening bout of the main show featured a fatal four-way between Chris Bey, Ace Austin, Mike Bailey, and Jake Something to determine the top contender for the X-Division Championship.

All four men had a great showing in the match, with each getting their big moves in. Towards the end, Jake caught Austin mid-air and hit the Into the Void to earn himself a title shot.

#3 Deonna Purrazzo's open challenge at No Surrender

Deonna Purrazzo held the champ-champ open challenge at No Surrender, giving her opponent the option to fight for the AAA Reina de Reinas Title or ROH Women's World Title.

Miranda Alize answered the challenge and decided to compete for the ROH Women's World Championship. She put up a good fight against the champion, but towards the end of the encounter, Purrazzo escaped the Shining Wizard and locked in the Fujiwara Armbar to pick up the win.

#2 All champions retained their titles

There were five title matches on the card in total for No Surrender. As mentioned earlier, The Good Brothers defended their titles successfully with some assistance from Jay White, while Purrazzo retained her gold over Miranda Alize.

Matt Cardona defended the Digital Media Championship successfully against Jordynne Grace. The challenger was disqualified for hitting a low blow to avoid a steel chair attack.

Meanwhile, Mickie James retained her Knockouts Championship over Tasha Steelz following multiple shenanigans involving Savannah Evans and Chelsea Green.

W. Morrissey and Moose had a stellar bout for the IMPACT World Title. The latter hit a couple of spears in the first few minutes and went for a third one, which Morrissey countered into a big boot. The two hit multiple finishers on each other before Moose nailed the decisive Spear to pick up the win.

#1 Eddie Edwards betrayed Team IMPACT! at No Surrender

Team IMPACT! and Team Honor No More battled in a high stakes encounter, with the stipulation being that if Honor No More won, they would be allowed to stay on IMPACT Wrestling moving forward.

Prior to the Knockouts Title match, Gia Miller interviewed Tasha Steelz when it was revealed that Eddie Edwards was attacked backstage. Rich Swann announced that Edwards wasn't medically cleared to compete and that Willie Mack had replaced him in the bout.

The match kicked off with Vincent taking a cheap shot at Maclin. Team IMPACT! gained control of the bout before Maria provided a distraction from the outside, allowing Taven to turn the tables on Sabin.

Both teams went out on war before Eddie Edwards joined the fray. However, with the referee out of the picture, he turned his back on Team IMPACT! and attacked them with a kendo stick.

As a result, King crawled for the pin to win the match for his side, and Edwards stood tall with Honor No More to end the show.
