WWE NXT Deadline Main Event & Opener Announced, Reported Match Order & Times Revealed
"WWE NXT" Deadline is scheduled to air live from The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and with kickoff fast approaching, details regarding the card order have been confirmed. According to "NXT's" social media and Fightful Select, "Deadline" is set to open with the Men's Iron Survivor match, with the Women's Iron Survivor match taking the coveted main event spot.
WWE confirmed the special switch in match order on X, formerly known as Twitter, mere minutes before the show is slated to begin at 6PM Eastern. Fans rejoiced in the comments, with one applauding NXT head Shawn Michaels and another rejoicing that Trick Williams and Ridge Holland did not hold the main event slot.
