TNA Impact Review: Highlights and Lowlights Ahead of Lockdown

The recent episode of TNA Impact served as the final lead-up to the Lockdown pay-per-view event, generating mixed reactions from viewers and critics alike. While some segments were praised, others were criticized for their execution, particularly within the Knockouts division.

Mustafa Ali opened the show with a promo targeting Jason Hotch, setting the stage for their upcoming match at Lockdown. The episode also featured a significant match for Harley Hudson, who faced Alisha Edwards with her TNA career on the line, ultimately securing her first victory on the flagship program.

However, the build-up for the Knockouts World Championship feud between Xia Brookside and Elayna Black was deemed lackluster, with a poorly received Zoom segment overshadowing their rivalry. Additionally, the semifinals of the Knockouts Television Championship Tournament saw Jada Stone advance unexpectedly, eliminating Heather By Elegance, which left some fans questioning the booking decisions leading to the finals.
