In this paper, we investigate blow-up of solutions to semilinear wave equations with scale-invariant damping and nonlinear memory term in $\mathbb{ R}^n$, which can be represented by the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order $1-\gamma$ with $\gamma\in(0,1)$. Our main interest is to study mixed influence from damping term and the memory kernel on blow-up conditions for the power of nonlinearity, by using test function method or generalized Kato's type lemma. We find a new competition, particularly for the small value of $\gamma$, on the blow-up range between the effective case and the non-effective case.
