Shawn Michaels taps WWE Hall of Famers for NXT Deadline announcement
Five WWE Hall of Famers will make their way to NXT this week as Shawn Michaels calls on X-Pac, Road Dogg, Molly Holly, and Alundra Blayze to help announce the competitors for the first-ever Iron Survivor Challenge Matches that will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10 at NXT Deadline. 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. Who will the Hall of Famers select for the Iron Survivor Challenge? Tune in to NXT on USA on Tuesday 8/7 C to find out!
