2 Major Turns At IMPACT Wrestling No Surrender 2022
Swerves a plenty as IMPACT has another stellar night with No Surrender.
With IMPACT Wrestling's 2022 iteration of No Surrender now in the record books, that show saw not one, but two major character turns take place.
The first one isn't so much a turn, per se, but more yet another case of Jay White being Jay White as the Good Brothers defended the IMPACT Tag Team Titles against the Guerrillas of Destiny.
Having previously seemed to be aligned with GOD in this rivalry, White made his way to the ring mid-match at No Surrender following a referee distraction from Chris Bey. There, Switchblade slid into the ring and hit his signature Blade Runner move on Tanga Loa, before Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows then landed the Magic Killer on Loa to get the win.

Post-match, White, Bey, Anderson and Gallows threw up the Too Sweet hand gesture, with the implication being that the Guerrillas of Destiny have now been kicked out of Bullet Club. For Tama Tonga, he's one of the founding members of the faction, whilst Tanga Loa has been a BC member since 2016.
Elsewhere, the main event of No Surrender saw Eddie Edwards turn his back on IMPACT Wrestling and side with the Honor No More stable. Found attacked backstage earlier in the night, Edwards was pulled from the Team IMPACT vs. Honor No More bout, being replaced by Willie Mack.
As that ten-men contest played out, Eddie - nicknamed the Heartbeat of IMPACT Wrestling - made his way to the ring and held Maria Kanellis in place for Rhino to Gore her. Instead, Edwards would assault Rhino and the other IMPACT stars with his trusty kendo stick, Kenny, and align himself with the former Ring of Honor stars.

Eddie Edwards has plenty of history with ROH, of course, having been the inaugural ROH TV Champion, an ROH Tag Team Champion with Davey Richards, and also having a run as the ROH World Champion - accolades which made him the first person in Ring of Honor to win all three of those prizes.
