(TGBH) Well hey howdy hey mafackas, and shouts out to all 12 of our loyal readers cause we love each of yall back. We are keeping the ball rolling on what has been one hell of a year for thee blog World order. We will be closing the year with triple digit blogs, our biggest output to date, and we couldnt have done without yall. So let’s do what we do best around chea and let’s predict a bunch of matches. Oh, and these will ALL be contested from within the confines of a steel cage.
(PCM) TNA keeps knocking it out out of the park. Bringing back a match after a decade and the whole concept after who knows how long. As long as we really don’t get cage matches the rest of the year, this is cool. Save it for this show if this continues in the future.
(B-OE3W) It may not have six sides this year, but the cage is no less brutal with four!
Hey!
6+4=10! ✋🏻🤚🏻
As many years as TNA fans have waited for the return of this emblematic event that promises to test mettle against metal in a night of confined chaos! Crimson red is a warm compliment to the sheen of gold, and I’m just sitting here hoping for a spackling in Chicago!
PreGame w/bWo
TNA Lockdown 2026
Lethal Lockdown
The System vs. Fabian Aichner, KC Navarro, Ricky Sosa, and Jada Stone
(B-OE3W) Looking across from the System are four of the focal stars that TNA will likely be investing in for the foreseeable future. I’d be hard-pressed to bet against an all-star squad in normal circumstance; however, as a unit, The System is seasoned. I would be remiss to disregard their performance at Sacrifice last year and even more so to disregard the potential for dismantle against a crew of untested potential.
Alisha pins Jada.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: The System
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: The System
BRANdon’s Pick: System
TNA World Tag Team Championship
The Hardys(c) vs. The Nemeths
(TGBH) Darkstat Shady is so excited for this match that he could not find the words to call this one. What seemed like would be the time to get the belts off The Hardys has turned into getting em the belts back again. The Righteous should be tag champs, dig what im sayin'? 🫰🏾🫰🏾. The Nemeths aint winning this one, aint that's trult a shame. The tag scene has options in TNA, but they just keep sticking to the same ol', ol' reliable in a sense, but is what the fans want? Clearly The Hardys have put themselves through so much over the years it's incredible they still compete in these type of matches. Perhaps the taping schedules are favorable, but that can only work for so long when you dont have talent fully locked down, no pun intended. Still this will be a fun tag contest within four steel walls, can never go wrong with a bros against bros bout.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: The Hardys
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: The Hardys
BRANdon’s Pick: Hardys
Escape The Cage
Moose vs. Frankie Kazarian
(PCM) I like the old school route they are going with this, having to escape the cage itself instead of just normal pinfall. Outside of Lethal Lockdown, expect this match to really explore the cage. Lot of high falls in this one. Honestly, this match could go either way; it seems relatively even. I think Kazarian has this in a close match
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: Moose
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: Frankie Kazarian
BRANdon’s Pick: Frankie Kazarian
Elijah vs. AJ Francis
(TGBH) Has this feud gone long enough? Sure, but AJ Francis has done a hell of a job making this rivalry matter. It’s stretched over a few premium live events and even got the HomeTown Man involved in between. But now, AJ Francis and Elijah Samson will do battle inside a cage, a setting quite fitting for this encounter. It all ends after this one, and AJ Francis has earned the right to walk out the victor here.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: AJ Francis
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: AJ Francis
BRANdon’s Pick: AJ Francis
TNA International Championship
Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch(c)
(PCM) I am glad to see Jason Hotch get his chance to shine finally. He is from my area, so I am always glad to see someone from around here make it. So it is a clash of one guy coming up and another who is doing some of his best work yet. Look for this to be a sleeper MOTN. Jason does have a win over him in Warrior Wrestling, so there is precedent there. But I think it is time to give Jason the reign he deserves.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: Jason Hotch
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: Jason Hotch
BRANdon’s Pick: Jason Hotch
TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
DemonXBunny(c) vs. The Elegance Brand
(B-OE3W) This is the price The Elegance Brand pays for going the distance in a TV title tourney! Though Heather and M have been the highlight of the KO Tag Division over the last year, I have a hard time seeing them come away with the W against the devilish and leporine duo of Rosemary and the Lazarus-like Allie. Who’s to say how the effects of this match factor into the semifinals of the KO TV title tournament, but I have to believe the progress made within by both ELEGANT participants will prove to be a subtraction for them as a collective in the cage - though hopefully not much too individually in their respective marches to the KO TV finals. DemonxBunny over Elegance.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: DemonXBunny
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: DemonXBunny
BRANdon’s Pick: DemonxBunny
TNA Knockouts World Championship
Xia Brookside(c) vs. Elayna Black
(TGBH) Xia Brookside, daughter of Robbie Brookside, has really come into her own and evolved into a formidable Knockouts World Champion. She has done the work and gone the distance and has had a reign worthy of recognition. Should she be dropping the strap this soon? Probably not, but it's clear TNA has big plans for Elayna Black. The Knockouts TV Title looked to be one Black would win, but fell shoet due to a time limit. And when Mara Sade advanced, it was clear we would get Black vs Sade once Sade won the tournament. But now Sade is gone, and they want Black in the bigger picture. If Black loses here, she really has no valid claim to a rematch. She's done the job well for TNA and it wouldn't be a surprise if Black walks out champion.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: Elayna Black
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: Xia Brookside
BRANdon’s Pick: Xia Brookside
TNA X Division Championship
if Leon Slater loses his reign is deleted from records
Cedric Alexander(c) vs. Leon Slater
(TGBH) So many roads, not Victory, that could have been taken and somehow we ended up on this one. TNA has really outdone themselves here cause this stipulation is just straight up silly. And because of TNA, we may see someone else use this stipulation and that really pisses me off. Slater is either fed bound, or they’re just gonna give him back the belt. Then again, what’s the point of even having him lose in the first place? Had they always intended on Slater being number 2 to Austin Aries’ reign or did they get stuck having to keep the title on him to keep him from going to the fed? We need something to set our guy’s status in stone cause every match feels like it could be his last in the Impact Zone. If Slater walks away with the gold, he’s staying. But I also feel like using this stipulation was concocted so that they can stick to Slater on his way out.
(PCM) What a weird stipulation. A match with these guys didn’t need something like this; just them going out there and killing it is more than enough. While I get TNA is known for some weird match types, this ain’t it. Kayfabe aside, who would take a match where you would have your title reign struck from the record book if you lose, especially as historic as this one? This one is weird, strictly off the stipulation. And if Slater is on the way out and he does lose, what god does taking his reign away help? This sours everything, and we haven’t even had the match yet. It honestly makes this hard to pick and not in a good way
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick: Cedric Alexander
PaperClip Mike’s Pick: Leon Slater
BRANdon’s Pick: Leon Slater
