Mustafa Ali Regains TNA International Championship In Brutal Lockdown Cage Match Wrestling News Source – Latest WWE, AEW, Pro Wrestling News, AEW All In: London 2026 Results

Mustafa Ali has reclaimed the TNA International Championship after surviving a brutal and bloody battle against former Order 4 ally Jason Hotch at TNA Lockdown.

The contractual rematch saw plenty of bad blood between the two rivals, with Ali immediately going after Hotch following the opening bell. Hotch quickly responded with a series of superkicks before launching Ali from the top rope, but it was only enough to earn a two-count.

Hotch continued to push the pace and planted Ali head-first into the canvas with a piledriver. Ali managed to recover and fired back with a DDT, although Hotch again kicked out before the three-count.

The action became even more chaotic when Special Agent 0 unlocked the cage and appeared to provide Ali with a possible route to freedom. Tasha Steelz intervened and slammed the cage door shut before Ali could take advantage. That sparked an argument between Steelz and Mila Moore, with the confrontation eventually becoming physical outside the cage.

Hotch then produced one of the biggest moments of the match. With Ali positioned across a table, Hotch climbed to the top of the steel cage and launched himself down onto his former leader, sending both men crashing through the table.

Ali later turned his attention to Hotch’s daughter at ringside, taking her stuffed animal and threatening to set it on fire. Hotch raced back into the ring before Ali could follow through, but Ali remained in control and continued his attack.

Refusing to stay down, Hotch climbed the cage once again and connected with a huge double stomp. Despite the impact, Ali managed to kick out at two.

Ali eventually went to the top rope and landed a 450 Splash, but Hotch somehow survived. The former champion immediately went back up and delivered a second 450 Splash, which finally proved enough to secure the three-count and return the International Championship to Ali.

The result begins Ali’s second reign with the TNA International Championship.

Hotch had stunned Ali on the July 30 edition of TNA Impact, where he captured the championship after being selected by his fellow Order 4 members to challenge their leader. His unexpected victory further fractured the relationship between the two men and ultimately led to their violent showdown inside the cage at Lockdown.
