A Lethal Lockdown match is a professional wrestling match used in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). This match has become a staple of TNA's Lockdown pay-per-view event, but has also made appearances at other TNA pay-per-views,[1] and during Impact! TV broadcasts.

Match format

The match consists of a single ring enclosed by a steel cage with two teams facing off with each other. The staggered entry system is identical to the WarGames match, but weapons are permitted and are even provided. When all competitors have entered the ring, a roof is lowered onto the top of the cage, with various weapons hanging from it. Victory can be attained by pinfall or submission. A similar match was done in 2025 at Sacrifice and the December 18, 2025 edition of TNA iMPACT! without the weapons roof.
