Production

Background

Lockdown was previously held as a pay-per-view event from 2005 to 2014 by Impact Wrestling, then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. [1] In 2013, the promotion scaled back its monthly pay-per-view events in favor of the new pre-recorded One Night Only events. Lockdown would be dropped as a pay-per-view after 2014; it was then held as a special episode of the weekly television program Impact Wrestling in 2015 and 2016. [2] On January 15, 2020, Impact Wrestling announced on Twitter that it would revive Lockdown as a monthly special for Impact Plus. The event will be co-produced with Border City Wrestling and would be held on March 28, 2020 at the St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. [3] [4]

On March 13, Border City Wrestling announced St. Clair College, the venue for Lockdown, had canceled all upcoming events due to COVID-19 crisis. [5]

Storylines

The card was to include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters to build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by Impact Wrestling writers, while storylines are produced on their weekly television program, Impact!
