Storylines

No Surrender featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines.

At Hardcore Justice, Kurt Angle announced that the World Tag Team Champions The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards), The Hardys (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) and Team 3D (Bully Ray and Devon) would compete in a three match series and the team to score two wins would win the series and the winner of the first match would be able to pick the stipulation for the next match. The first three-way match took place on the August 27 episode of Impact Wrestling, which Team 3D won. Team 3D chose a tables match, which took place on the September 10 episode of Impact Wrestling, which Hardys won.
