Welcome back to the blog, if you are new? hello and welcome. NXT Deadline was LIVE this past Saturday Night (Sunday Morning here in the U.K) from Minneapolis, Minnesota, it's always nice when NXT goes on the road.
The PLE began with the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge, we knew Wes Lee, Je'von Evans, Nathan Frazer and Ethan Page were the confirmed participants, the fifth man was due to be Eddy Thorpe, until he was attacked backstage before the last episode of NXT closed out, the wait to find out who the fifth man chosen by Ava was over, it was Oba Femi, he went on to win this match and is now the Number One contender for the NXT Championship.
Shoutout to Lee, Evans, Frazer and Page for their performances as well. The interaction between Oba and Page during this match was hilarious to watch.
Lola Vice got her "get back" from the ECW Special by winning the Underground Match against fellow rising star, Jaida Parker. Vice is still unbeaten in this stipulation, the questions are, will this feud continue? or will Lola and Jaida finally form a true alliance, we will tune in to find out.
Nathan Frazer was in action again, this time defending the Tag Team Championships with Axiom, successfully against Myles Borne and Tavion Heights, this was very good to watch, hopefully there's a rematch in the future.
Trick Williams passed the challenge of Ridge Holland to remain the NXT Champion, this was a decent co-main event, with nothing really of note to talk about, no disrespect. Ridge belongs in the title picture for sure, whereas the much anticipated Trick versus Oba match is now set for New Years Evil.
Giulia is the Number One contender for the NXT Women's Championship, she will challenge Roxanne Perez at New Years Evil on January 7th. Shoutout to Sol Ruca, Zaria and Wren Sinclair for their star making performances, including Stephanie Vaquer, she was smiling whilst Giulia was celebrating, they could be future rivals for the NXT Women's Championship.
The Deadline has now passed, the conversation is over, be sure to check out the archives on this website.
