This Premium Live Event should offer some high profile title bouts and grudges being settled once and for all.

Here are our predictions for the card for WWE NXT Deadline 2025.

Jaida Parker vs. Fallon Henley vs. Kendal Grey vs. ZARIA vs. Jordynne Grace in the Women’s Iron Survivor Match

The NXT women’s division should be on full display at WWE NXT Deadline with the return of the Iron Survivor Match.

The five person 25-minute bout where the goal is to score the most points by pinfall or submission has become the main highlight of the Deadline event, and the NXT women’s scene should offer another wonderful addition to the stipulation.

The likes of Jaida Parker and Fallon Henley will look for the biggest victory yet, while newer talent like ZARIA, Kendal Grey and Jordynne Grace should be looking to get to the top of NXT with a win.

These five ladies should deliver a high energy, hard hitting contest that lives up to the past iterations of the Iron Survivor on December 6.

WWE NXT Women’s Championship: Tatum Paxley (c) vs. Izzi Dame

At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2025, Tatum Paxley defeated Jacy Jayne to win the NXT Women’s Championship.

At the end of the bout, Izzi Dame entered the ring holding the NXT Women’s Championship belt and looked like she was about to strike her friend Paxley.

However, Tatum moved and led to Jayne knocking out Dame with the Rolling Encore before Paxley scored the win with Cemetery Drive to become the new NXT Women’s Champion.

Paxley going on to defend the gold against her Culling stablemate could be set up over the course of the next two months, giving WWE NXT Deadline 2025 a lengthy storyline being paid off on the show.

WWE NXT Women’s North American Championship: Blake Monroe (c) vs. Natalya

Another new champion was crowned at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2025 when Blake Monroe defeated ZARIA to win the NXT Women’s North American Championship.

Winning her first title in WWE, Monroe proved exactly what she has been saying since arriving in the company that she is destined for greatness.

“The Glamour” should be elevated with this title reign and needs opponents that have some level of credibility to give her some wins that propel her to the mountaintop in WWE NXT.

Natalya coming back to NXT to challenge Monroe would give an intriguing challenger for the champion and someone she can gain something from with a win.

WWE Speed Men’s Championship: El Grande Americano (c) vs. Axiom

The WWE Speed Men’s Championship Tournament will conclude on the October 28 episode of NXT when LFG season one winner Jasper Troy will face SmackDown’s Axiom.

This should be a fast paced “David vs. Goliath” style story to watch unfold between these two stars, but in the end, the more experienced Axiom seems like the favorite to win.

Having Axiom take his quickness and use it to his advantage in the Speed division should make for a formidable contender for El Grande Americano.

WWE NXT Deadline 2025 should deliver Americano vs. Axiom in what should be an exciting and thrilling title bout on the card.

WWE NXT Tag Team Championships: DarkState (Dion Lennox & Osiris Griffin) (c) vs. Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater

WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Darkstate

At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2025, DarkState defeated The Hardys to win the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Becoming two-time champions, Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin have proven to be a force to be reckoned with alongside Saquon Shugars and Cutler James on NXT and beyond.

One place DarkState made their presence felt was when they interfered in the Leon Slater vs. Je’Von Evans TNA X-Division Title match at Bound For Glory 2025.

This should lead to Slater and Evans challenging DarkState for the NXT Tag Team Championships at WWE NXT Deadline 2025 and could give the event a showstealing bout.

Trick Williams vs. Joe Hendry vs. Josh Briggs vs. Myles Borne vs. Oba Femi – Men’s Iron Survivor Match

The Men’s Iron Survivor has proven to be a guaranteed hit with every iteration arguably stealing the show every year at WWE NXT Deadline.

From Grayson Waller to Oba Femi, the winners of this match have gone on to success on the NXT brand and the main roster following their victories.

This year’s Men’s Iron Survivor should be a star studded one yet also give an opportunity to new talent in the main event picture like Joe Hendry and Myles Borne.

Besides those two competitors, Josh Briggs is someone who has dipped his foot into the main event pool on NXT, while former Iron Survivor winners Femi and Trick Williams can give their star power to this showcase match.

WWE NXT Championship: Ricky Saints (c) vs. Ethan Page

At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2025, Ricky Saints defeated Trick Williams to retain the NXT Championship, while Ethan Page picked up a win over El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. to retain the NXT North American Championship.

Earlier this year, Page dethroned Saints for the NXT North American Championship and went on to retain the title in a rematch at The Great American Bash 2025.

With this victory and his impressive North American Title run, it feels like “All Ego” has earned himself an opportunity to become a two-time NXT Champion.

Page challenging Saints in a champion vs. champion battle would give WWE NXT Deadline 2025 another high profile main event level bout on the lineup from San Antonio, Texas.
