TNA Impact go-home show on August 20 to feature eight-man tag ahead of Lockdown in Chicago

TNA Impact’s go-home edition on August 20 will headline an eight-man tag with Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Moose and Elijah opposing Nic Nemeth, Ryan Nemeth, Frankie Kazarian and AJ Francis as the promotion builds toward Lockdown in Chicago on August 23. The show will be the final televised meeting of those PPV-bound competitors before they travel to Chicago for the event.

The August 20 episode is being presented as a last stop to set the scene for Lockdown and carries several matches tied directly to the pay-per-view storyline. Announced bouts include a Knockouts TV Title tournament semifinal between Jada Stone and Heather by Elegance, a Lethal Lockdown advantage match between Fabian Aichner and Brian Myers, and two singles matches: Harley Hudson vs Alisha Edwards and Rich Swann vs Mr. Elegance, with Mr. Elegance’s undefeated streak on the line.

The promotion billed the main event on social media, posting: "It's an ALL-STAR main event THURSDAY at 9/8c on @AMC_TV, @AMCPlus and TNA+, and 8pm ET on @Sportsnet 360 as @MATTHARDYBRAND, @JEFFHARDYBRAND, @TheMooseNation and @_Iam_Elijah_ take on @NicTNemeth, @ryrynemnem, @FrankieKazarian and @AJFrancis410. #TNAiMPACT pic.twitter.com/3zFId7LXnV"

The Lethal Lockdown advantage stipulation gives tangible stakes to the August 20 encounter: the winner between Fabian Aichner and Brian Myers will secure the advantage for their respective Lockdown team.
