Not his first match with Impact Wrestling, he's had four or five matches already, two tag matches (against Good Brothers, so against Finjuice), as well as a couple multi man Match ups.

What's the story with The Good Brothers? Why did they start feuding with Bullet Club?

Not sure of the whole story but Good Bros and G.O.D. paths crossed at NJPW Resurgence last year or at least a brief clip was shown on Impact from Resurgence but nothing really came of it till recently.  I guess you can say the two top tag teams from Bullet Club's past and present trying to find out who is the best.

EY promo game has been amazing since his return to Impact.

Oh damn Jay White just turned on G.O.D. costing them the Impact tag titles and give the too sweet to Good Bros. Bullet Club just got real.

So the good brothers are still cool with all the leaders past and present of bullet club.

I guess so, but apparently there has been some tension with Jay White and G.O.D. from NJPW. I'm not that familiar with New Japan just what I saw on another site. Emperor maybe able to give us some insight on Jay White and the Bullet Club.

For being a Impact Plus ppv No Surrender was a hell of a show. The time seemed to fly by. Jake Something getting the win in the x-division #1 contender match was a surprise. Deonna vs Alize was not bad but its was not good either. White and EY were great. I know some don't like the intergender matches but Cardona and Jordynne put on a great match. Good Bros vs G.O.D. with the surprise ending. Mickie and Tasha was better than expected. Moss and W with a hoss fight with a clean finish. Impact vs Honor No More was really good but Eddie turning on Impact was very predictable. I was waiting for Bobby Heenan to chime in with a "but which side is he on". The Thursday fallow up show should be good.

Jay White hasn't been in NJPW for nearly a year, but if I recall correctly not long before he left he was teaming with G.O.D. to feud with CHAOS over the NEVER six man belts, and they were pretty tight. I remember that because the match was really good, one of the few matches for that championship that was anything above average.

I haven't followed Jay White in the USA much, and G.O.D. were in NJPW until late last year so they can't have been in Impact for long. Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa did some good stuff in the G1, so I respect them more than I used to. Tanga Loa especially. Tama Tonga was the chosen one, the only man to pin Okada in B Block and got a main event match with Okada out of it, so good for him.

So White turning on these guys in favour of Good Brothers is definitely a shock, especally since Good Brothers haven't been in Japan for 5+ years. Not sure why, in kayfabe, White would take Good Brothers over G.O.D. Guess there'll be a promo to explain that in the future.

I really enjoyed Jay White vs Eric Young. This is the best I've seen Eric Young - I've never been impressed by him before but he's on fire now. He has fine-tuned that psychotic group leader character that I saw last in NXT with Sanity. Also love the unorthodox way he executes moves, such as the Death Valley Driver. Jay White was great, and won the match nicely, but Eric Young impressed me the most in that match.

Checked out three other matches.

Deonna vs Alize was just OK. Not overly impressed by either lady. Weird that you have the Impact Women's Champion and then another lady who is the champion of two other companies, defending one of them on an Impact PPV. Guess it's not unheard of, just a little odd.

Matt Cardona and Jordynn Grace was a really fun match. Love the intergender dynamic they have, and it was all completely believable. Didn't like the finish but I guess it's part of the story they are telling which I don't know about having come in cold. Also what the hell is this "Digital Media Championship"? :lol:

Also checked out Moose vs Morrissey. Really good hoss fight. Sloppy in places, but some of the poorly executed spots added to the intensity, selling the fact that these guys are exhausted and struggling to lift each other. The other side of the coin is that some of these spots looked a bit reckless. Was a bombfest, like WWE's Lesnar or Goldberg matches, but more drawn out. Seems odd to describe a bombfest as drawn out, but they did a really good job with the pacing. Not a fan of Moose's spear, looks like he's just tapping them with his forearm. Overall I enjoyed it.

Emperor Digital Media Championship = Internet Championship. Its mainly defended online, PPV, and sometimes on TV.

Not much to the Cardona Grace back story. Jordynne was the first DMC. Babyface Cardona challenged her. It was set up as his first intergender match and he really did not know how to wrestle a girl. During the match he give her a chair shot, turns heel, wins the title, and give the fans the finger.

I'm hoping its just a work but Josh Alexander has been removed from the roster page

WHY EDDIE? WHY?!?! :verysad:

Sacrifice looks like a decent show I guess, with Jay White/Alex Shelley being the most interesting match on the card. Also, I just want to say, I love how Impact is going all out with the knockout's on this card, with four women's matches taking place.

Sacrifice does look good. Other than IInspiration vs Influence there has been very little build up.

I'm lacking context and reasons why the BC turned on G.O.D. because I haven't gotten caught up yet. With that being said, I truly thought G.O.D. would beat T.G.B. or at least pester them more. That's why I didn't mind sitting through their boring as fuck 2nd tag team title reign. Now, I feel like I hate-watched most of their segments for no reasn. The BIG LG & KA are passible watches when motivated but they are just good foils in that step above jobber role.

Sacrifice way better than expected

Shelly and White put on a early contender for MOTY

Jonah and PCO with the early contender for hoss fight of the year.

Oh yeah, Alex Shelley/Jay White delivered.

Actually, I've enjoyed both of Jay White's Impact Wrestling PPV matches. This one with Alex Shelley, as well as the match he had against Eric Young. Speaking of Alex Shelley, I'd love to see him and Sabin reunite again and get another tag title run.

The world belongs to VBD AGAIN! I wonder what happens with the BC next. I sense the G.O.D. will cost The Good Brothers in their title rematch.

After what I consider his best match in Impact, Jake Something is officially a free agent.

I hope Jake resigns.

Motor City Machine Guns reuniting to take on Jay White and Chris Bey might get me to watch Impact again.

This week was a good build up show for next week. MCMG vs Jay & Bey, Josh vs Taven, and more....

I'm gonna miss Rohit Raju. He should have traded the X-belt with TJP a few times before TJP lost it to Alexender.

This week has been by far the most interesting that Larry D has been and he's not on the roster.

I guess they could come up with much to do with Ace Romero either.

Impact’s Multiverse of Matches at WrestleCon is looking good

Jay White vs Chris Sabin
The Briscoes vs The Good Brothers
Tomohiro Ishii vs. Eddie Edwards
Deonna's Champ Champ challenge
Ultimate X

Glad that MCMG is back!
