WWE NXT events never seem to disappoint. Which is why it is so exciting that we will be getting NXT Deadline on Saturday, December 6. Few matches have already been confirmed for the event.
It will be the night of the Iron Survivor Matches to determine the next challenger for the NXT Men’s and Women’s Championships. But who will be walking out of NXT Deadline with the gold to defend?
Who Will Be Next to Challenge for a Championship?
During Week Two of NXT Gold Rush, John Cena announced the participants in the Iron Survivor matches that will take place at Deadline. He chose talent who have truly proved themselves and fought for everything they have gotten in NXT.
The men’s competitors are Leon Slater, Joe Hendry, Myles Bourne, Dion Lennox, and Je’Von Evans. The women’s competitors are Sol Ruca, Kelani Jordan, Jordynne Grace, Lola Vice, and Kendall Gray.
The Iron Survivor Match has different rules than your typical fatal five-way. The match has a 25-minute time limit and starts with two wrestlers in the ring. Every five minutes, a new wrestler enters the match.
Wrestlers earn points in the match by gaining pinfalls, submissions, or disqualifications. If a wrestler is pinned, submitted, or disqualified, then they must spend 90 seconds in a penalty box. The competitor with the most points at the end wins the match and will be the next to challenge for the NXT Championship.
Who do you think will walk out of Deadline with a championship match on their horizon?
Can Ricky Saints Prove Himself Against Oba Femi?
Oba Femi returned to NXT on the November 11 episode of NXT to confront Ricky Saints. He hasn’t seen Saints or been on NXT since he lost the NXT Championship to Saints at No Mercy back in September.
Femi wasted no time going after what he lost at No Mercy. The first thing he did upon his return was confront Saints. The time that Femi took off was to collect himself and become better after the loss he faced. He wasn’t looking to get involved with Williams and Saints or the NXTNA battle; Femi only wanted his championship rematch.
At NXT Deadline on December 6th, Oba Femi will receive his NXT rematch against Ricky Saints. Will Femi be able to regain his championship?
