No Surrender World Title Qualifying Match, Rhino vs Sting - With Rhino having recently turned heel & Sting on his way out of TNA Rhino was always going to be jobbing here. Both guys had a decent enough match but after a nice belly to belly suplex from Rhino there was a missed Gore & Sting hit The Scorpion Death Drop to take the predicted win.
No Surrender World Title Qualifying Match, Chris Sabin (with Alex Shelley) vs AJ Styles - This is 2 of the best workers in TNA today in terms of skill & ability and we were getting it in spades here. Sabins headscissors off the apron to the floor was very good and Styles was more than happy to sell for Sabin. Styles almost got it off a Springboard Flying Forearm & caught Sabin trying a Hurricanrana to hit a wicked reverse DDT, Styles flubbed his reverse flip into whatever move he was going for but Sabin just about covered it throwing Styles back to the turnbuckle to nail a big boot. Sabin went for something off a springboard move which Styles ducked & hit The Pele finishing with The Styles Clash to get the win here.

No Surrender World Title Qualifying Match, Doug Williams vs Suicide - For some reason TNA chose to show the 2 segements from Morgan completely missing the introduction of Williams only showing Suicides intro & ring entry here. This was slow to get started & Suicide flubbing the sell of Williams hitting the big boot didn't help their cause too greatly either, Williams managed to kick out of the flip slam but Tenay & Taz displayed their woeful lack of knowledge about Williams by harping on about how difficult a singles match must be for him but they failed to take into account that from the start of his indy career he was a singles wrestler so this is nothing new at all for him.
This was actually a fairly ok match until some d**khead (Russo, in a typically f**kwitted idea of his) decided to send D'Angelo Dinero out to try and distract Suicide who had Williams floored but decided to jump off the top turnbuckle & took out Dinero and the ref started a count on him, Dinero slowed Suicide down on his entry but Suicide kicked him off only to walk right into Williams who took the win off a Rolling German Suplex.
1st Round Match TNA Knockout Tagteam Title Tournament, Sojo Bolt & Hamada vs Christy Hemme & Tara - This started out with some nice upright technical wrestling before Tara hit a lovely bridge, Hamada nailed Tara who was stupid enough to bow out of respect before nailing a beautiful springboard into a Moonsault off the ropes into an almost near fall.
Bolt had a short stint inside and Hemme came in as well but it was Hamada & Hemme with Hamada on top after a strong headbutt as they took a rather badly timed and rather poorly advised commercial break. Coming back from the break Bolt had come back into the match and Hemme managed to bail tagging Tara back in who unleashed on Bolt selling a stiff looking clothesline off Tara & it took Hamada to make the save to stop the pin. Hemme came in to level the playing field hitting a nice inverted DDT on Hamada and Tara took the win off The Widows Peak. Hamada wasn't super happy & nailed Bolt with the Hamada Driver post match.
No Surrender World Title Qualifying Match, Homicide vs Hernandez - If there was 1 way to show the TNA audience that LAX have definately split never to reform then this match is the deal closer I guess. Homicide had still come down to the old LAX intro music & was also wearing an LAX t-shirt but Hernandez has his new ring outfit & intro music. Hernandez was initially on top playing the power game until Homicide used his speed taking out a leg & working on it. Hernandez took the eventual win off The Front Face Slam.

No Surrender World Title Qualifying Match, Doug Williams vs AJ Styles - Both Taz & Angle were giving Styles some major props more than happy to put him over by bigging up his ability. Styles was on top but Williams derailed him catching Styles off a Springboard by hitting a European Uppercut. Styles went for a flying forearm but I agree with Taz's call that they may have bumped heads as Williams looked rather glazed, Styles took it to the arial arena hitting a dropkick then a suicide dive. Styles went for a weardown with a Torture Rack into a pin but Williams came back with a nice flying elbow,Styles hit a wicked clothesline that Williams sold really well indeed but Styles hit a springboard into an Inverted DDT (that was the move he'd flubbed in his previous match against Sabin) to take the win.
No Surrender World Title Qualifying Match, Hernandez vs Sting - Sting started this injured after his postmatch gore from Rhino so he was always struggling, Hernandez hit a few moves and Sting rolled out of the ring to the ground where it looked like Homicide came out and worked Sting over with a blackjack. The ref DQ'd Hernandez off outside interference with the win going to Sting but "Homicide" was revealed be Eric Young dressed in Homicides ring gear.
Coming back from the final commercial break Hernandez called out Young who brought The British Invasion with him but Hernandez soon made light work of them at least on Doug Williams & Brutus Magnus. Kiyoshi & Sheik Abdul Bashir ran out and were taken out but Big Rob jumped Hernandez from behind and The World Elite commenced the beatdown on Hernandez.
AJ Styles came down to help Hernandez but was soon taken down until Beer Money came out to help too and cleared house, The World Elite reformed at the bottom of the entrance ramp but then Team 3D came out from the tunnel and World Elite were surrounded and it all kicked off big time with everyone fighting and ignoring the refs, Bashir was about to be on the receiving end of a table until Scott Steiner & Booker T ran out to beat the ever holy crapola out of Team 3D.
Robert Roode came in and cut off Booker with James Storm starting to duke it out with Steiner until Brutus Magnus put a stop to that, Roode was on the wrong end of The Doomsday Device off Williams & Magnus with Storm taking a double Chokeslam off Booker & Steiner and the World Elite and the MEM were left standing tall at the end of the show.
