The Iron Survivor Challenge is a concept introduced to the NXT roster as part of the first-ever NXT Deadline card, featuring Men’s and Women’s matches to determine the number 1 contender for the NXT and NXT Women’s Championships, respectively. You can check out the rules for the Iron Survivor match below.
* 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 for the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship respectively.
We will have to see who gets booked for the Iron Survivor Match. The Deadline event is likely to have a few top matches on the card, as WWE continues their focus on NXT.
