Bron Breakker vs. Apollo Crews (NXT Championship Match)​

Bron Breakker is feeling the effects of carrying the crown as NXT Champion, but the challenges aren't letting up any time soon.

Apollo Crews has visions of capturing the NXT Title and has made it his mission to get his hands on the gold. The veteran will get his opportunity in a matchup against Breakker at NXT Deadline on Saturday, Dec. 10.

Breakker survived a brutal Triple Threat Match at Halloween Havoc against Ilja Dragunov and JD McDonagh and followed that up by outlasting Von Wagner in another title tilt. Crews paved his way to an NXT Title showdown by stopping the sadistic streak of McDonagh and making his intentions for the champion clear.

Can Crews be the one who dethrones Breakker to end 2022?​

Carmelo Hayes vs. Grayson Waller vs. Joe Gacy vs. JD McDonagh vs. ?? (Iron Survivor Challenge Match)​

A historic Iron Survivor Challenge is taking shape, and a loaded field of competitors is ready to give it an unreal debut at NXT Deadline.

Shawn Michaels conferred with fellow WWE Hall of Famers Road Dogg, Molly Holly, Alundra Blayze, and X-Pac to come up with the initial field. Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, Joe Gacy, and JD McDonagh were revealed as the first four participants, as a Triple Threat Wild Card Match will determine the fifth and final entrant.

Roxanne Perez vs. Cora Jade vs. Zoey Stark vs. Kiana James vs. ?? (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 will be determined in a Triple Threat Wild Card Match between Wendy Choo, Indi Hartwell and Fallon Henley.​

Alba Fyre vs. Isla Dawn​

Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn are set to clash at NXT Deadline in the midst of their red-hot rivalry.

A few weeks ago Alba Fyre was on the cusp of becoming the NXT Women’s Champion in a Last Woman Standing Match against Mandy Rose, but a returning Isla Dawn sprayed mist in Fyre’s face and sent her crashing through a table, destroying her championship dreams.

In the weeks since Dawn has promised a reckoning while Fyre has guaranteed vengeance with NXT Deadline serving as the site of their showdown.

Pretty Deadly vs. The New Day (NXT Tag Team Title Match)​

Be careful what you wish for this holiday season Pretty Deadly.

The NXT Tag Team Champions graced the NXT Universe with a performance of "A Real Christmas Story" that was scripted more to taunt the rest of the Tag Team division. Enter The New Day with a Christmas present of their own. One of the most decorated duos in WWE history shocked Elton Prince & Kit Wilson when they rolled into NXT with a challenge for NXT Deadline.

Now Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods will be looking to some new hardware to their collection - the NXT Tag Team Championships.​

No spooky stip for Alba/Isla? Guess they're saving that for the rematch

 

[Dale]

Not sure if Indus Sher vs. Creed Brothers was pulled or was never actually confirmed as it's not on the listing

Angle from last night, one of the Creeds isn't cleared. Not sure if shoot or work tho

 

[Cwalker]

So we’re all in agreement Carmelo has to win, right?

Most definitely should

I could see Gacy or Waller as well if they don't want Melo to challenge Bron quite yet (bc he should win if he does). Maybe Melo challenges at Vengeance Day instead in front of the real crowd, doubt the winner here can be stretched that long

 

[Cwalker]

And I’m all for a New Day NXT run. Nothing really for them to do on the main roster as long as The Usos have a strangle hold on those belts

 

[Colt Magnum]

Anyway else feed cutting in and out

 

[O-Blaze]

Anyway else feed cutting in and out

Mine was yeah

 

[Colt Magnum]

Think Indi & Grayson win.

 

[Colt Magnum]

Why does Joe Gacy avatar base look fucking weird
