Winner: Still WWE EVOLVE Champion, Jackson Drake via Pinfall 

– We see Ethan Page talking to Sol Ruca in the backstage area. He says that the truth hurts sometimes, but Sol would still be the Women’s North American Champion if she stopped worrying about her friendship with Zaria, right? Sol says that it’s complicated. Page says that there’s nothing complicated about the fact Sol is a World Champion Caliber Talent, she should be playing second to nobody, and yet here’s she is sitting here all stressed out, probably contemplating whether she should go out to Zaria’s match tonight. Page has some advice for Sol. She shouldn’t go out there tonight; her focus should be on Sol Ruca. Myles Borne joins the conversation. Myles tells Sol that she better not be buying what Page is selling. Page says that Myles always sticks his nose in other people’s business, and yet he has big business tonight with Trick Williams. Myles says that this is the biggest match of his career, and he’s fully locked in. Page doesn’t buy that. Page knows Trick very well, he’s a man who does things the right way, only focusing on himself, unlike Myles who’s focused on everybody else. Page says that he’ll never have to focus on Myles as he walks away.

John Cena Selects The Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge Competitors

John Cena: As my in-ring career in the WWE winds down, I believe steadfast in my goal to leave this business better than I found it. The future of WWE is what NXT is all about, that’s why I asked, AVA, the NXT General Manager, for the privilege of selecting the participants of this year’s Iron Survivor Challenge. This unique match has the ability to launch a superstar’s career to that next level. And when you talk about the future of this business, no two names come to mind faster than Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater from TNA. A pair of 21-year-olds who are way ahead of their time, fun to watch, and I look for big things to go down.

Next spot goes to a man who is the definition of self-made superstar. Hey, right on, he built his name from the ground up and made himself impossible to ignore. I believe in Joe Hendry. The next selection was a College Football Captain at Morgan State University, who has now embraced his transition to the WWE, and become a dominant force. Dion Lennox has earned an opportunity to show what he’s got. And the last spot will be given to the winner of tonight’s main event. Myles Borne and Trick Williams are both deserving in their own right, and they will battle it out for a chance to earn an incredible opportunity, that makes tonight’s main event one you can’t miss it. My time is up. Gentlemen, your time is now, good luck.

And I’m sure you’re gonna sit there and cry like you always do. But don’t worry, I’ll explain everything next week. And remember, Tatum, it is what it is.

Ricky Saints Interview 

Sarah Schreiber: Ricky, it’s great sitting down with you, thank you so much for your time. Now, Oba Femi shocked the WWE Universe with his recent return. What does it mean for Ricky Saints and the NXT Championship?

Ricky Saints: It means, all the eyes are on me. The entire world is watching me, every fan, every critic, every camera, every person out there who’s doubting how long will Ricky Saints be NXT Champion. That is a lot of pressure that sits right here on this chest, heavier than the title, no less. And that is what I’m having to deal with right now. Last week, I was confident, but this week, I’m starting to question that a bit.

Sarah Schreiber: But Ricky, you beat Oba Femi at No Mercy, what’s the difference with Deadline?

Ricky Saints: You know, it’s funny, I replay that moment, me beating Oba in my head constantly, over and over, thinking, was that just a moment that kind of lined up perfectly for me, that, you know, luck by the draw type thing? And that right there is hard to deal with in itself. I got a lot of people asking me, oh, how are you gonna do it again, how are you going to beat Oba Femi again? I don’t know, as if I have the answer in my back pocket, I truly don’t know. And that is hard as well, having to give an answer like that. I also start to think about, am I just a deviation in Oba Femi’s title reign? Are we just getting back on the highway, did we just take a little detour, and now, hey, we’re back guys? That right there is hard to deal with, when that voice sits right there, and you have to hear it all the time. I’m doing my best to quiet that down.

Sarah Schreiber: So, what are you saying to yourself walking into Deadline with this kind of doubt?

Ricky Saints: I do wonder, if all of the work and the years that I’ve grinded away, this entire journey that I’ve been on, if I can’t beat Oba Femi, that will be all for not. That is what plays in my head. But you know what’s the other thing that pops up a lot, that kind of has a bigger voice in me? It’s pressure. Pressure is my ally. You know what I do with pressure? I take it head on. Yes, it sucks for me. Yes, it doesn’t feel good, but it’s something that I’m able to use to my benefit if I really think about it. If all the criticism that I’m receiving, if all the doubt and naysayers and everyone who starts to think, hey, Ricky just ain’t it, if I don’t beat Oba Femi, then who can, right? But I can, because I’m not going to let my journey just fall wayside, because of this one man who’s in my way. The impossible is possible when it comes to “Absolute” Ricky Saints. And I’m going to prove that to each and every single voice out there, the ones that are in here, and even the one’s out there. Why? Because I am Ricky Saints, Sarah, the NXT Champion.

Sarah Schreiber: Thank you so much. Good luck at Deadline.

Ricky Saints: Thank you.

John Cena Selects The Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Competitors 

John Cena: The NXT Women’s Division is overflowing with incredible talent. And these five superstars I’ve chosen to participate in the Iron Survivor Challenge are a tremendous representation of that. Sol Ruca is the first name when it comes to athleticism and innovation. I’m very excited to see what she could do. Someone who has always believed in her ability, and every time an opportunity shows up, she’s just got one question, when can I get my shot? Lola Vice, your time is now. The next superstar calls herself a standout. And now Kelani Jordan has the opportunity to prove that. I admire strength, because it takes time, discipline and the ability to overcome failure, those are all necessary traits to succeed as a superstar, all qualities Jordynne Grace has. The final selection is an amateur standout, who not only found her footing, but has all the tools to accomplish anything she puts her mind to in the WWE, the EVOLVE Women’s Champion, Kendal Grey. I am truly excited to see this match. Ladies, good luck.
