NXT Deadline takes place tonight live on Peacock. We have the introduction of a new match concept with two Iron Survivor Matches taking place tonight. The winner of the respective matches will become the number one contender for the respective titles. We will also see the NXT Championship and Tag Team Championships defended. Stay tuned as this article will be updated throughout the night with the latest results and news from NXT Deadline.
The Iron Survivor match starts with two competitors. Every five minutes a new participant enters the match. Any fall (pin, submission, disqualification) earns a point. The competitor with the most falls at the end of 25 minutes wins. The wrestler on the losing end of a fall will have to spend 90 seconds in a penalty box. The winner of the Men’s Iron Survivor Match will become the number-one contender for the NXT Championship. The winner of the Women’s Iron Survivor Match will be the number one contender for the Women’s Iron Survivor Match.
Who will win the Iron Suvivor Challenge TONIGHT at #NXTDeadline and become the No. 1 contender for the NXT Championship?

NXT Deadline Results and News
Grayson Waller and Roxanne Perez have a shot at Bron Breakker and Mandy Rose respectively. Waller wasted little time as he jumped Breakker after Breakker defeated Apollo Crews in the main event. The first-ever Iron Survivor matches were exciting and had an interesting combination of scramble, elimination chamber, and king of the mountain matches. Both matches had solid action and were well-received by the live crowd. This could become a staple match for NXT similar to how Money in the Bank has become a signature match on the main roster of WWE.
