TNA Lockdown delivered major title changes and set the stage for Bound for Glory, with Leon Slater’s Option C callout of champion Nic Nemeth creating immediate main-event intrigue. The cage spectacle crowned three new champions and brought back a major name in Kiera Hogan.
#1. Nic Nemeth
Nemeth capped off a massive weekend by winning the TNA World Tag Team Championship alongside his brother Ryan, then immediately became the focal point of the Bound for Glory main event when Leon Slater invoked Option C to challenge for his World Title. He’s a double champion heading into TNA’s second-biggest show of the year.

Slater reclaimed the X Division Championship in a brutal Last Man Standing cage match against Cedric Alexander, then capitalized on his contractual right with the surprise Option C callout to set up a World Title shot at Bound for Glory. He’s the story of the week—saved his historic title legacy and punched his ticket to the main event.

#3. Xia Brookside
Brookside retained her Knockouts World Championship in a hard-fought steel cage match against Elayna Black, though the dirty finish and crowd heat suggest her reign may be entering turbulent waters. She escaped Chicago as champion but not with the crowd behind her.

#4. Mustafa Ali
Ali captured the TNA International Championship from Jason Hotch at Lockdown, capping a strong performance in cage match conditions. He’s the new fighting champion heading into iMPACT, already booked in a high-profile tag match on August 27.

#5. Kiera Hogan
Hogan’s return after five years generated immediate buzz when she revealed as Allie’s mystery tag partner at Lockdown, helping retain the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles. The signing was announced moments after, signaling TNA’s confidence in re-establishing her as part of the women’s division landscape.
#6. Matt Hardy
Hardy lost the TNA World Tag Team Championship in the main event but remains a marquee name drawing significant fan interest—the story about his post-show autograph line confirms he’s still a merchandise and merchandise draw. His presence in the top tag team feud ensures continued relevance heading into the next cycle.
#7. Allie
Allie retained the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship alongside her mystery partner Kiera Hogan, successfully defending at Lockdown. She’s established as a cornerstone of the women’s tag division and one of the few to hold gold twice in a week.

#8. Elayna Black
Black brought intensity and left a visceral impression in her steel cage loss to Xia Brookside, bloodied but memorable. As a Chicago native fighting for the women’s world title, she’s positioned as a credible challenger despite the loss.
#9. Jason Hotch
Hotch lost the International Championship to Mustafa Ali at Lockdown after a wild cage match that left him coughing blood. Despite the loss, he’s booked prominently on the August 27 iMPACT tag match, keeping him in the title picture’s orbit.
#10. Joe Alonzo
Alonzo signed a TNA contract at Lockdown by defeating Home Town Man in a pre-show stipulation match, officially joining the roster as a fresh addition. His arrival from the independent circuit gives TNA a new resource for mid-card storylines.
Ryan Nemeth rounds out the momentum with a World Tag Team title win, though he’s largely operating in his brother’s shadow heading into Bound for Glory.
