NXT continues to build towards the last premium live event of the year in NXT Deadline. With Mandy Rose having her championship reign in jeopardy, she has a last woman standing match to overcome to stay champion. Von Wagner looks to halt Bron Breakker’s run as champion as they make their way to Deadline. Wes Lee has Carmelo Hayes in a contract signing, and Apollo Crews has the Irish Ace in his way for the nxt championship. It is clearly a mystery for the direction of Chase U with Duke Hudson becoming the biggest hype man in the group. Nikkita Lyons lost her partner as Zoey Stark attacked her after they failed to win tag gold. JD continues to be the necessary evil that NXT desperately seems to need. Indi Hartwell is going down a path of doing everything her way without friends like Roxanne Perez. The crowd seemed to be lacking a bit today. There were also too many short squash-like matches. The matches given time delivered though.
One Last Time, Joe Gacy and the Schism are going to face Cameron Grimes. Andre Chase faces Charlie Dempsey one more time after the upset months ago. The Grayson Waller Effect has both the NXT Champion and Von Wagner. Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark receive their rematch after the shock match restart weeks ago against Katana and Kayden.
