The latest – 5:44 p.m. ET: The Righteous, Trey Miguel score wins on ‘Countdown’
TNA’s Lockdown “Countdown” pre-show opened with tag action, as the duo of BDE and Rich Swann faced The Righteous. While all pay-per-view matchups were scheduled to take place inside a steel cage tonight, the pre-show bouts were without the massive structure.
Swann got a hot tag at the five-minute mark and earned a near fall after a huge top-rope frogsplash. Dutch got back into the bout and dropped Swann with a Death Walks (Black Hole Slam). Vincent went for the pin after an inverted DDT, but BDE came off the top rope with a frogsplash to break up the attempt.
BDE got a near fall after a Codebreaker then springboard cutter to Vincent. Dutch knocked BDE off the top rope, causing him to take a nasty fall to the mat. Dutch wiped out Swann at ringside with a move (cameras didn’t actually catch what happened here), allowing The Righteous to pick on BDE two-on-one. With the help of Dutch, Vincent scored his Orange Sunshine cutter for the pinfall in just under eight minutes. This was a whatever match. I’m not big on The Righteous’ in-ring style, and they felt a little clunky here.
The second match of the pre-show saw Order Four’s Special Agent 0 go head-to-head with Trey Miguel. Even though Agent 0 has been part of TNA programming for over a year, this was just the third singles appearance for him on the brand (unless you count when he appeared as “William Trudeau” on TNA’s Border Brawl card last year).
The size difference between these two was emphasized early on, with Miguel working as the underdog. He started to mount a comeback four minutes in, scoring a meteor from the corner, then a big springboard dive to the floor – he had a rough landing.
Back in the ring, Agent 0 caught a head kick from Miguel and instead tossed him throat-first onto the top turnbuckle. Agent 0 nearly lost grip of Miguel during this sequence but was able to save it. A sit-out powerbomb from Agent 0 was countered by Miguel into a roll-up for the win in five minutes. Commentary emphasized that this was Agent 0’s first loss, but, again, it’s not like he’s even much of a wrestler for TNA on a week-to-week basis.
During a pre-show panel, Indi Hartwell showed up and got into an argument with Daria Rae about whether she is next in line for a Knockouts title shot. Their awkward back-and-forth was overshadowed by the Lockdown cage being lowered at the same time (cameras even cut away from this exchange to show the cage).
