No Surrender featured nine professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]
At Hard Justice, ODB and her manager Cody Deaner defeated The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) in a tag team match to claim Angelina Love's TNA Women's Knockout Championship. However, because he scored the pinfall on Velvet Sky to win the match, Deaner began to insist he was the "true" Knockout Champion instead of ODB (despite it being a women's title), going as far as to call himself the "King of the Knockouts". Amid this infighting, an intergender match was scheduled between ODB and Deaner for the Knockout Championship at No Surrender.[5][6][7]
