The main event was a Three Ways to Glory match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship with the champion Samoa Joe defending the title against Christian Cage and Kurt Angle.

The TNA World Tag Team Championship was defended by Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) against The Latin American Xchange (Hernandez and Homicide).

Jason Clevett of the professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer rated the show a 3 out of 10, which was lower than the 7 out of 10 given to the 2007 edition by Chris Sokol.

[7] TNA issued a press release in late-July revealing that No Surrender would be held at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario on September 14.

[22] A couple of months later on the September 4 episode of Impact!, Trigg attacked Styles during his Four Ways to Glory qualifying match with Christian Cage.

[23][24] The TNA World Tag Team Championship was defended at No Surrender by Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) against The Latin American Xchange (Hernandez and Homicide; LAX).

[25] Management Director Jim Cornette scheduled a title defense at Victory Road between LAX and Roode and Storm under "Fan's Revenge" Lumberjack rules on the June 19 episode of Impact!.

In his closing comments, Clevett wrote that he "once considered himself a huge wrestling fan" but shows "like tonight make him question his dedication anymore," before revealing that he wanted "his money and three hours back."

He said the two competitors "busted their asses" but that the match "should have been showcased in New Jersey last month in front of Lethal’s hometown crowd" at the Hard Justice PPV event.

However, he gave credit to the two involved for "coming up with some incredibly creative spots" that got the crowd to cheer and chant "This is awesome" despite the ladder match genre having "become rather tired and overdone."

As for the main event, he commented that the "match itself was solid, but felt like all three men were going through the motions" since the "three have wrestled each other so many times in the past year, it doesn’t feel fresh or exciting."

He also expressed his disappointment in the finish, that he tried to remember "the last time a TNA main event ended without some kind of interference, guitar shot, or overbooking" but he could not.

Andrews mentioned that the TNA President Dixie Carter was present "earnestly signed autographs" and interacting "with fans in the pre-amble" which he said they "seemed to love mingling with her and her eyes beamed when told SLAM!

They also gushed over Petey Williams and his Maple Leaf Muscle, The Beautful[sic] People and Taylor Wilde, and the Jay Lethal versus Sonjay Dutt ladder match."

It was probably a harsh reaction, as the extremely small vocal minority thought the MMA choreography was well done, mimicking a good blend of both men trying to impose their style on the other.

He felt that Booker T's absence "seemed to dampen any mystique "Four ways to Glory" had going for it" with the main event being "lacklustre[sic]" despite Christian Cage’s entrance maintaining the "aura of the grand spectacle everyone was hoping the match would be."

As for the Styles versus Trigg bout, Keller did not give it a rating and did not comment on the quality of the match, instead focused on the feed interruption, stating that the "brief image of the naked women will be talked about for years as one of the funniest blunders on pro wrestling PPV, and not so funny for parents watching with their kids."

Lastly, Keller discussed the X Division Championship match, which he gave 2 1/2 stars and also commented on Bashir's entrance music calling it "among the most scummy promoting tactics in history" believing it was "beyond words how absolutely disgusting it is."

After various miscommunications in matches involving the three wrestlers, Management Director Jim Cornette announced Booker T versus Styles with Cage as Special Guest Referee as the main event of the October 9 episode of Impact!
