Welcome to PWInsider.com’s ongoing coverage of Impact Wrestling’s No Surrender 2021!

The show opened with a video feature on Tommy Dreamer discussing what he has given for pro wrestling.  He said that he has to sleep on his side and use his arm to push his legs off the bed when he wakes up.  UGH.  He’s fighting for the Impact title on his 50th birthday tonight.

XXXL & Tenille Dashwood with Kaleb with A K vs. Decay

Tenille and Rosemary started after Acey Romero backed away on facing Rosemary.  Dashwood slapped her to no effect.  

Rosemary lost it and nailed a series of rights.  Steve tagged in and D faced off with him.   Steve went after his arm but D rolled to the outside.  Acey and Taurus faced off - power vs power - trading forearms.   Taurus sent him into the corner and nailed a kick to the head then a great elbow.  Decay teased a triple dive but XXXL and Dashwood scattered on the floor.  

Larry regained control over Steve and drilled him in the corner.  Dashwood tagged in and nailed several kicks in the corner before tagging back out.  Acey continued the beatings until missing a charge into the corner.  Taurus tagged in and wiped out D then nailed a big headbutt on Acey.  He nailed a Samoan Drop on Larry but Kaleb got on the apron and distracted the referee.  Dashwood and Kaleb used a red t-shirt to enrage Taurus, who charged and pursued Kaleb to the floor.  D nailed a dive but Taurus came back to nail a twisting tope con hilo.  Steve hit a big bodypress off the top to the floor.  Acey teased one but was stopped by Rosemary.  Tenille nailed Rosemary and sent her to the floor.  She ascended to the top but changed her mind and climbed down.  Romero grabbed her and powerbombed her over the top onto everyone on the floor.

Romero tossed D and Taurus back inside.  Rosemary spewed the mist in his eyes.  Taurus regained control and nailed a driver on D for the pin.

Your winners, Decay!

Entertaining opener.

Eddie Edwards & Matt Cardona vs. Brian Myers & Hernandez

Myers and Edwards started and went back and forth on the mat with Edwards gaining control.  Cardona tagged in and nailed Myers but Brian wanted nothing to do with him and tagged out to Hernandez.  They showed each other.  Cardona grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  He was shoulderblocked down but came back with a big dropkick.   

Myers and Edwards tagged in.  Edwards nailed an inverted atomic drop and hit an overhead belly to belly suplex.    Edwards was cut off and sent to the floor.  Hernandez tossed him back in and controlled him in the ring with a bearhug.   Myers and Hernandez tagged in and out, battering Edwards, who kept kicking out.  Edwards was cinched into a chinlock but nailed a jawbreaker to escape.  Myers was still able to trip him up and maintain control.  Edwards kept fighting back from underneath.  Hernandez tagged in and ripped off one of the turnbuckles.  He sent Edwards into the corner.  Myers went back to a side chinlock.  Edwards finally nailed a belly to back suplex but Hernandez knocked Cardona off the apron, preventing the tag.  

Edwards was nailed with a Side Russian legsweep for another two count.  Cardona was knocked off the apron again right before Hernandez missed a charge in the corner so there was no one to tag out to.  Edwards nailed a superplex on Hernandez and finally made the tag.

Cardona hit the ring with some explosive offense and nailed a dropkick off the ropes on Myers and then came through the ropes on Hernandez.  He nailed the Facewash in the corner on Myers for a two count.  Cardona went for a move but was caught with a sit-out slam for a close two count.    Myers went to the top but was cut off by Edwards.  Edwards nailed a dive to the outside on Hernandez who shrugged it off and wiped him out.  Cardona nailed a top rope Frankensteiner on Myers but Hernandez broke it up.

Edwards clotheslined Hernandez over the top to the floor.  Myers nailed a Snake Eyes in the corner on Cardona on the exposed buckle and scored the pin with a lariat.

Your winners Brian Myers & Hernandez!

Hard worked and enjoyable.  Nice to see Hernandez being given more of a chance as well.

Backstage, Matt Hardy talked up Private Party before their Tag Team title bout.

Deaner vs. Jake Something.

Eric Young and Joe Doering are outside.  New video effects for Jake.

Jake clotheslined Deaner over the top at the start.  Deaner collected himself and locked up with Jake.  Jake nailed a series of right hands and whipped Deaner into the ropes.  Deaner ducked several clotheslines but was caught with a leaping one.  Deaner went to the floor to get additional advice from Young.  Deaner charged into the ring and nailed a series of punches.  He took control on Jake, who was tossed to the floor.  Young nailed a neckbreaker on the floor.  He was tossed back in and was choked on the mat.  Deaner nailed a series of kicks and was choked against the ropes.  As the referee was distracted, Young punched Jake and told him that he brought all this upon himself.  

Deaner continued tearing apart Jake with punches and elbows.  Deaner nailed a leaing European uppercut off the ropes for a two count.  Deaner showed a lot of intensity and aggression.   Deaner worked over Jake's neck and dumped him to the floor as Jake started to mount a comeback.  EY distracted Jake on the floor, allowing Deaner to attack and beat him down.  Jake missed a charge in the corner.  He got caught in between the buckles.  Deaner dropkicked him, snapping the neck.  Deaner screamed that it was all Jake's fault.  Jake fired up but was cut off.  Deaner nailed a headbutt and came off the ropes with another leaping forearm but was caught and slammed.    Jake fired up and cleaned house.  He nailed a sit-out slam and then a charging Avalanche in the corner for a two count.  Great fire from Jake.

Deaner was sent into the ropes but slipped out of an attempted maneuver, scoring with a swinging neckbreaker for a two count.  They battled to the top rope, where Jake attempted a superplex to the floor.  Deaner was able to land inside the ring and worked over Jake.  He yanked Jake out of the corner and into a powerbomb.  Mike Bucci invented that years ago and I can't remember the last time I saw it.  Young tried to get involved and was nailed.  Jake nailed a big dive over the top on EY and Doering.  He nailed a Black Hole Slam on Deaner and scored the pin.

Your winner, Jake Something!

This was a lot of fun and they told a good story to get Something over.

Jake was attacked and beaten down.  Young brought a table into the ring.  Jake was lifted to Doering and hit with a Superbomb off the ropes through a table.

Backstage, The Edwards gave Tommy Dreamer a birthday gift.  Eddie said the real gift will be Dreamer winning the title.  He thanked Dreamer for being a crazy uncle to them.
