Production

edit

Background

edit

No Surrender was produced as a monthly pay-per-view event by Impact Wrestling (then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)) between 2005 and 2012. No Surrender was dropped after the 2012 edition as part of a larger shift in the company's monthly pay-per-view strategy, in which Impact replaced live, monthly pay-per-view events with the pre-recorded One Night Only specials starting in 2013. No Surrender would be retained as a recurring special episode of Impact's flagship television program from 2013 to 2015.

On November 12, 2019, Impact Wrestling announced No Surrender would be brought back as a monthly special to be aired exclusively on Impact Plus.[2]

Storylines

edit

On the November 5 episode of Impact!, the team of Daga, Rich Swann, Tessa Blanchard and Tommy Dreamer defeated oVe (Sami Callihan, Madman Fulton, Dave and Jake Crist) in an eight-man tag team match when Swann pinned Callihan.[3] As a result of Swann's pinfall win over Callihan, Impact Wrestling announced on November 12 that Callihan would defend the Impact World Championship against Swann at No Surrender.[4]

Eddie Edwards and Ace Austin had been feuding with each other over the past few months due to Austin stalking Edwards' wife Alisha Edwards. On November 12, it was announced that Edwards would face Austin in a Tables match at No Surrender.[5]

Reception

edit

Larry Csonka of 411Mania reviewed the event and gave it a 6.5 out of 10. He wrote that: "Impact No Surrender 2019 was a solid but inconsistent show, with some low lows, and good to great highs. The main event was great though."[6]
