[5.0] "Both pre-show matches were fine. The Indi/Daria promo did not hit like I think they wanted it to. Gia Miller did a nice job with showcasing the steel cage in the closing moments of the pre-show."

[4.0] "As usual, TNA do a full hour long pre-show for a PPV. I don't really know why they do that, most of it is just complete filler. I don't care for their interviews, etc. The matches were alright though."

[7.0] "A pair of solid matches. I'm glad none of them were in the cage. Miguel's win should put him in line for Ali and the angle of the Righteous trying to recruit BDE continues. I don't really care about the other stuff but I did like Gia interviewing William Gardner, TNA's number one superfan."

[3.0] "Daria Rae and Indi Hartwell had their moment during the Countdown To show which was fine with some verbal back and forth, the Countdown To Lockdown was average at best, average to watch and skippable in my opinion. Dutch & Vincent vs BDE & Rich Swann: Dutch and Vincent obviously had the tag team experience over Swann and BDE, the match was fine and suitable for the Countdown To show, the action was fine for what the match was [**1/4]. Trey Miguel vs Special Agent 0: Miguel did not get much of any offense in but got the win with a surprise roll up, 0 had the power advantage and it showed, and average match overall [*3/4]"

[5.0] "The dark match was decent. Joe Alonzo won by pulling the mask off Home Town Man, who then covered his face. The tag match was quite good. BDE had a little too much space on his strikes, and his timing was a bit off, but the structure was good, and Swann made up for his partner's shortcomings. BDE was best in the role of taking a beating, leading up to the hot tag. Trey Miguel wore Spider-Man gear and had "Spider Trey" on the entrance video. OK match. Agree about the Daria/Indi segment being bad. Indi tried to get the fans to call her "Diarrhea Rae." Conversely, Gia Miller's monologue inside the cage was excellent."

"They did a segment with Daria and Indi Hartwell talking to each other, minutes before the show. It was dead on arrival. They made the mistake of bringing the cage down for the show while they were talking and it got a way bigger reaction than anything these women did. They actually stopped to see why people were making noise because they were getting nothing for a full minute before the cage lowered. This is TNA in 2026, guys. Daria was reading her script the whole segment they did before this one."
