Roxanne Perez vs. Cora Jade vs. Zoey Stark vs. Kiana James vs. Indi Hartwell (Iron Survivor Challenge)
Mandy Rose has been one of the most dominant champions in NXT history but that hasn't stopped the challengers from lining up. Shawn Michaels named Roxanne Perez, Kiana James, Zoey Stark and Cora Jade as the first four combatants in the first-ever Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline. The Heartbreak Kid was joined by fellow WWE Hall of Famers Road Dogg, Molly Holly, Alundra Blayze, and X-Pac to help make his final decisions for the field. The fifth and final competitor was determined in a Triple Threat Wild Card Match as Indi Hartwell bested Wendy Choo and Fallon Henley. The rules for the Iron Survivor Challenge are as follows: Five Superstars will compete in this unique 25-minute match as they battle each other and the clock. Two Superstars will start the match, and every five minutes a new Superstar will enter the match until all five are in the ring. The goal is to have the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes. Falls can be won at any time via pinfall, submission, or disqualification. When a Superstar scores a fall, they will earn one point. However, when a Superstar loses a fall, that Superstar must pay the penalty. They are forced out of the ring and into a penalty box for 90 seconds. Once the 90 seconds are up, the Superstar can re-enter the match. The Superstar who has scored the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be named the Iron Survivor and become the No. 1 Contender to the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship, respectively. Watch it all go down at NXT Deadline on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 8 ET/5 PT streaming exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and WWE Network everywhere else.
