The fourth annual edition will emanate from Texas.
In the aftermath of WWE NXT Gold Rush, the developmental brand is now set to deliver the 2025 edition of NXT Deadline. Gold Rush was a two-part TV Special and took place at the Theatre at MSG, New York, on November 18 and 25.
The fourth annual Deadline PLE is set to take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas. The show will feature stars from NXT, TNA, and WWE’s Evolve brand. Additionally, it will be the first Deadline show to broadcast on Netflix (internationally).
The show, as usual, will center on the men’s and women’s Iron Survivor Challenge, a 25-minute, five-competitor match where participants try to earn the most falls to secure a future shot at the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship.
This year, the 17-time WWE World Champion, John Cena, selected the male and female superstars for the Iron Survivor Challenge. Je’Von Evans, Leon Slater, Joe Hendry, Dion Lennox, and Myles Borne will compete in the men’s match.
On the other hand, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Jordynne Grace, and Kendal Grey will compete in the women’s match to secure a future NXT Women’s title shot.
Additionally, NXT Champion Ricky Saints will defend the title against the former Champion Oba Femi, who recently made his return on the November 11 episode of NXT, challenging Saints for the title the following week.
