At Saturday’s WWE NXT Deadline event, Miles Bourne, Dion Lennox, Joe Hendry, and TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater all ended in a tie during their men’s Iron Survivor match, ultimately losing to Jevon Evans, the match’s winner. However, recent developments on NXT have given them another opportunity. General Manager Ava announced on Tuesday’s NXT that these four competitors will face off in a four-way match next week to decide the number one contender for the NXT Championship.
Originally, Evans was set to face Oba Femi, who claimed victory over Ricky Saints for the title at Deadline, for a championship shot. But instead of waiting for the special “NXT” event in January, Evans challenged Femi on Tuesday night. To settle who will become the new top contender, Ava revealed in a backstage segment that Hendry, Lennox, Bourne, and Slater will battle in a one-fall four-way match during next Tuesday’s NXT main event. The winner of this match will earn the right to challenge either Evans or Femi at New Year’s Evil on January 6th.
Fan Take: This announcement heightens the excitement for NXT fans by setting up a high-stakes match that can dramatically shift the title picture. It showcases the depth of talent on NXT and promises intense competition at New Year’s Evil, potentially leading to thrilling storylines and unforgettable moments in WWE.
