  Storylines
  The show was centered around the 2013 Bound for Glory Series. On the August 29 episode of Impact Wrestling, TNA General Manager Hulk Hogan announced that the knockout stage of the BFG Series would take place at No Surrender on September 12 and announced that a  gauntlet match would take place on the September 5 Impact Wrestling, where all the 12 participants of the BFG Series would participate and the winner would gain 20 points in the series. A.J. Styles won the gauntlet and became the leader in the BFG Series points with Magnus, Austin Aries and Bobby Roode being ranked next to Styles in the rankings respectively, thus determining the Final Four of the BFG Series who would qualify for the knockout stage at No Surrender. Styles was be given the opportunity to choose his semi-final opponent due to being points leader and he chose Aries as his opponent due to him losing Aries earlier in the tournament, thus setting up Styles versus Aries and Roode versus Magnus in the semifinals at No Surrender.
  At Hardcore Justice, Tito Ortiz revealed himself to be the newest member of Aces & Eights by turning on Rampage Jackson by hitting him with a hammer, which distracted Chris Sabin enough for Aces & Eights leader Bully Ray to defeat him in a steel cage match to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. The Aces & Eights Vice President Mr. Anderson took exception to Ortiz' inclusion into the group and said that Ray had to discuss with him before adding Ortiz into the group but Ray said that Anderson better not be sensitive and take care of his own business. Ray then revealed that the real "Brooke" he loved was Brooke Tessmacher and not Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke Hogan, whom he had used to reach to the top and win the World Heavyweight Championship. On the August 29 episode of Impact Wrestling, Hulk Hogan announced that Ray would defend the title against a member of Aces & Eights at No Surrender. On the September 5 episode of Impact Wrestling, Anderson revealed himself to be that Aces & Eights member by costing Ray, a no disqualification match against Sting by tossing the hammer away from Ray while Sting had applied a Scorpion Deathlock on Ray. At No Surrender, Hogan added a stipulation to the title match that it would be a last man standing match.
