Three more spots have been determined for the Men’s and Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge matches set to take place at WWE NXT Deadline on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at the Minneapolis Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Opening this week’s episode of WWE NXT was the first qualifying match, which saw Nathan Frazer score a chaotic pinfall over Eddy Thorpe among the tag team division all brawling on the outside of the ring.

Stephanie Vaquer secured a spot in the women’s match with a win over Jaida Parker. The two were pretty evenly-matched, but Parker succumbed to a distraction from Lola Vice, who came out just to mess with Parker. A moment’s slip-up was enough for Vaquer to take advantage and earn her way into the coveted No. 1 contender’s gauntlet.

Lastly, Zaria beat Wren Sinclair — to no surprise, given how different the two have been booked as of late. The No Quarter Catch Crew member tried to put up a fight, but was rather consistently overpowered by the Adelaide Powerhouse for most of the match. Most of Sinclair’s momentum came after Charlie Dempsey providing a distraction that opened an opportunity for Sinclair to hit a suicide dive, but Zaria still walked away a minute later with the win.
