WWE NXT Deadline 2023 Spoilers and Predictions |
-
Men's Iron Survivor Challenge: Bron Breakker vs. Dijak vs. Trick Williams vs. TBD vs. TBD
There's no way of knowing who is even in this match, let alone who could be the top pick, until at least NXT Halloween Havoc is over and done with.
However,
I will say that most likely, Ilja Dragunov will still be NXT champion by the end of this event, and the top challenger might be Bron Breakker. We'll see what the full landscape is.
PREDICTION: n/a

Women's Iron Survivor Challenge: Kelani Jordan vs. Lash Legend vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. TBD vs. TBD
There's no way of knowing who is even in this match, let alone who could be the top pick, until at least NXT Halloween Havoc is over and done with.
Lash Legend shouldn't win, though. I'm not even sure why she's in this match.
Kelani Jordan won't win, either, but I'm glad she's gotten a chance to shine after coming up short in the Breakout tournament.

NXT Championship Match: Ilja Dragunov (c) vs. Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin is a rock solid opponent to defend against. He's tall, an established main roster talent, has plenty of accolades to his name, but is still at a level where it isn't crazy to imagine Dragunov retaining. That's fully what I expect to happen, by the way. Not only would I be shocked to see Dragunov lose the title right now in general, but I'd particularly be surprised to see it be to Corbin, who I get a sense is here in NXT to work with rookies and prep them for the next level, rather than to be the guy himself.
PREDICTION: Ilja Dragunov retains.
-
NXT North American Championship Match: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Wes Lee
I could definitely see Dom losing the title here. It depends on whether or not WWE wants someone else to hold the belt going into NXT Stand & Deliver, and if they have anyone else in line to fight at Vengeance Day and such. Since I can't think of anyone that stands out as a better option than Wes Lee, why not just go with him instead of overcomplicating things? Then again, it's certainly not a guarantee by any means. It wouldn't shock me if Dom retained and didn't drop the title until WrestleMania weekend.
PREDICTION: Wes Lee wins.
