No Surrender 2023 - The Results



"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beats "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo after Jai Vidal gets on the apron and Savannah Evans runs in to hit Deonna with the full nelson slam. Afterwards, Savannah Evans raises Gisele's hand along with Jai Vidal.

Jonathan Gresham beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey.

Director of Authority Santino Marella heads to the ring. He welcomes everyone to tonight's show, then introduces his first acquisition as Director of Authority, Frankie Kazarian. He then guests on commentary for the next match.

Frankie Kazarian beats Kon after Callihan accidentally hits Kon in the back with a chair.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Brian Myers. Myers says he has been studying four-way matches all week and he is going out to do what he does best. He says he has refocused and that it is time to become Impact World Champion. When asked about any updates on Matt Cardona, he says that Joe Hendry humiliated Cardona and that he hopes Moose returns the favor.

The Death Dollz (Taya Valkyrie and Jessicka) retain the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Championships against The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle).

Before the next match, Joe Hnedry says there are a lot of sins going on in Las Vegas, Nevada, then says that the only sin one should worry about is not believing in Joe Hendry.

Joe Hendry retains the Impact Wrestling Digital Media Championship against Moose in a Dot Combat Match that sees the use of a European Sega Dreamcast (seriously) and a VR headset.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Mickie James. Mickie says that she has a lot on her plate and that Jordynne Grace is telling anyone who will listen that she made her tap out. She says that she cannot wait to prove that she can beat Jordynne, but tonight, she has to face Masha Slamovich. She says "The Last Rodeo" may be over, but her reign as Knockouts Champion has just begun.

Dave LaGreca heads to the ring to host a live edition of Busted Open Radio. He says that Sirius XM and Impact Wrestling have both asked him to be here tonight, then says that things have gotten heated and that there will be an open forum where Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer will have sixty uninterrupted seconds each to air the grievances between them, with Bully Ray speaking first. Dreamer is introduced first, followed by Bully. Bully simply says to Dreamer "I'm sorry," which is exactly how his sixty seconds are spent. Dreamer says this has gone further than a simple apology and expects The Good Hands to put him through a podium, then chews out Bully Ray for making fun of his mother while she was fighting for her life in the hospital. Bully Ray says a time restraint is not needed, then agrees that things have gone too far and too deep, and offers to talk if they get rid of the time restraint. He apologizes for making fun of Dreamer's mother, especially when she was always awesome to him. He then says that he watched a documentary about the nWo and heard Kevin Nash talk about Scott Hall and how Nash cried because he had to do the documentary without Scott being there. He says that they are as close, if not closer, than Nash and Hall and thought about what would happen if something happened to one of them. He says that if one has an issue with a loved one, it is better to work it out than to look at their dead body in a coffin, as regret is one of the worst things to live with. Bully says that if something were to happen to Dreamer, he would be at his funeral and would probably carry his casket, and that Dreamer would do the same for him. He says life is too short, and for the benefit of Impact, Busted Open Radio and their friendship, he would rather stay on good terms with him, because he does not want to be in a situation where if one of his friends died, he did not make amends with them. Dreamer says this has gone way too far and that they should go their own way. He says he is proud of Bully for even saying what he said, as difficult as it was for someone like Bully to say that, and that it did not have to get to this point. Bully Ray then throws coffee into Dreamer's face, then back LaGreca into the corner before hitting Dreamer with a pot of coffee while repeatedly "Somebody like me?!?" He asks what that statement even means, then asks Dreamer if he knows who he is. Bully Ray then kicks the podium.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Rich Swann. Swann says tonight is the night that he finally let his charisma, raw talent and athleticism shine through, as he finally has an opportunity at "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and the World Championship. Steve Maclin shows up and says he is here to wish him luck, because he will have to face him at Rebellion if he wins the world title tonight. He says he has beaten Swann once and can do it again, but Swann chalks it up to Swann trying to take him off his game and states that he has to focus on the World Championship while Maclin has to focus on facing three other men to become #1 contender, which only gives him more motivation to win the World Champion and beat him at Rebellion.

Steve Maclin beats Heath, Brian Myers and PCO in a four-way match to become #1 contender for the Impact Wrestling World Championship after Eddie Edwards shows up and hits PCO with a shovel. After the match, Trey Miguel shows up. He says that while tonight's show continues to be occupied by people who are fighting to be champions, he is not even on the card. He says that Director of Authority Santino Marella and everyone in the back has forgotten about him, and says this would not have happened to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin, or Frankie Kazarian. He says that this is about his legacy and that it is time people put respect on his name, and that he proved himself a generational champion when he beat Crazzy Steve earlier in the week in a Monster's Ball Match. He says he would slay PCO if it didn't look somebody already did, and PCO gets up, choke slams Trey, then choke slams him.

Bullet Club ("The Inevitable" Ace Austin, Chris Bey, KENTA) beat Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA).

Mickie James retains the Impact Wrestling Knockouts World Championship against Masha Slamovich after pinning Masha's shoulders down as Masha goes for a monkey flip in the corner.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander retains the Impact Wrestling World Championship against Rich Swann.
