Carmelo Hayes vs. Grayson Waller vs. Joe Gacy vs. JD McDonagh vs. Axiom (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, and a Triple Threat Wild Card Match will determine the fifth and final entrant. Axiom outlasted both Von Wagner and Andre Chase to punch his ticket for NXT Deadline and round out the field.
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.
