WWE NXT Deadline 2025 Highlights
Oba Femi vs Ricky Saints
Ricky Saints opened the show by defending the NXT Championship against Oba Femi. The fight spilled outside when Saints pulled the top rope down, sending Femi out of the ring. Saints then hit a DDT on the steel steps after Femi ran into the ring post.
Back in the ring, Femi blocked Saints’ lifting attempt and turned it into a jackknife powerbomb for a two-count. Saints charged again, but Femi caught him and finished the match with the Fall From Grace.
With the win, Femi became a two-time NXT Champion and earned a Champion vs. Champion match against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge
Kelani Jordan and Kendal Grey started the match with fast counters and near falls. Grey got the first fall after catching Kelani with a powerslam. Jordynne Grace entered next and used her power to control both women. Kelani later rolled up Grey to score her first fall, making it 1–1.
Lola Vice entered and quickly pinned Grey with a spinning kick. Grey answered back by pinning Grace, taking the lead with two falls. The match became chaotic, with all four women trading big moves. Grace powered through Kelani to score her first fall.
Sol Ruca entered last but was attacked before reaching the ring. When she returned, she hit Sol Snatcher twice and scored two quick falls to tie Grey at the top. Grace added another fall, Lola scored one more, and Kelani tied the scores with her second.
In the closing seconds, chaos broke out as the timer ran down. Grey capitalized on an opening, hit Shades of Grey on Lola, and secured her third fall.
Winner: Kendal Grey (3 Falls)
Ethan Page vs Mr. Iguana
Ethan Page started strong with power moves, but Mr. Iguana used speed, arm drags, and dropkicks to surprise him. Iguana kept using his puppet to distract Page and nearly stole a few pins. Page got angry and threw Iguana’s puppet away, which fired Iguana up. Iguana hit a tornado DDT, a super rana, and a big dive outside. He followed with a flying headbutt for a close two-count. When Iguana went up top again, Page stopped him, slammed him off the ropes, and hit Twisted Grin to win.
Izzi Dame vs Tatum Paxley
Izzi tried to attack Tatum from behind, but Tatum caught her and started strong with forearms and a flip leg drop. Izzi pretended to beg for mercy outside the ring, then tricked Tatum with a fake hug and slammed her into the steps.
They fought on the top rope, and Izzi caught Tatum with a dropkick, followed by a neckbreaker. Tatum answered with a superkick, a crucifix bomb, and a suicide dive. Tatum placed Izzi on the announce table and hit Cemetery Drive through it. When Tatum tried to get back in the ring, Shawn Spears distracted her with dolls. Izzi used the opening, kicked her, and hit a sit-down powerbomb for the win.

Dion Lennox entered third and powered through everyone. He hit an Island Driver on Evans to tie the score. Myles answered with big suplexes and a sleeper, while Leon used fast kicks and springboard attacks. Evans kept landing clotheslines, dives, and a frog splash.
