Wes Lee, Dominik Mysterio, Rey Mysterio, and Dragon Lee Segment 

Wes Lee: Look, we are four days away from Deadline. I was imagining, smacking Dominik Mysterio all around the Total Mortage Arena. Hearing that one-two-three, then Alicia’s beautiful and angelic voice announcing, and new NXT North American Champion, Wes Lee. But unfortunately, it won’t be happening like that. Now, I don’t say this out of uncertainty or doubt. One on one, man to man, Dominik Mysterio can’t handle the heart from the King of the westside. The same heart that will take on any opponent, under any circumstances. The same heart that all of you cheer and supported, week in and week out, and gave me the strength to do things I would never imagine I could. But that help won’t support me right now. It won’t bring back the feeling to my legs. It will not eliminate the excruciating pain that I’m in, just standing in the ring, talking to you right now. It’s going to take surgery and time. I’m unsure on when you’ll see me again. But just as I had rose from the ashes, to become one of the greatest champions to every step foot inside this NXT ring, I will return to further cement my legacy as one of the best to ever do this. Now, this is not a goodbye. And I’m far from being done. Let’s just say, for now, I’ll see you later.

Dominik Mysterio: Look everyone, Wes Lee is going home, again. Wes, I don’t doubt that you need surgery. You know, it looks like you can barely stand. Let me tell you something, man, imagine how my back feels, for carrying all of the WWE for the past two years. While you’re out for another year recovering, sitting at home, like the rest of these people, watch what I do with this title. And since you won’t be at Deadline this Saturday, I guess I have the night off to chill with Mami.

Wes Lee: Pump the brakes, Dom. You will not have a match against me at Deadline. But you are still going to competing. But don’t take my word for it, dog, take it from somebody you’re more closely related to.

Rey Mysterio: Dominik, what’s up, son? Unfortunately for you, this Saturday is not a night off. In fact, you will be defending the North American Title at Deadline. And to be clearer, I will be at Deadline to see this title match take place. And I will be in the corner of the man who’s going to take that North American Title away from you. Oh, and that man is, my brother, my friend, the future of Lucha Libre, Dragon Lee. Good luck, son. See you on Saturday.

Dragon Lee beats down Dominik to close the segment.

The Womens’ Iron Survivor Challenge Summit 

Byron Saxton: NXT Deadline is this Saturday in Bridgeport, Connecticut. And tonight. I’m joined by the five superstars who earned the right to compete in the one-of-a-kind match known as The Iron Survivor Challenge. So, right now, let’s meet those superstars. Starting with Tiffany Stratton, Lash Legend, Blair Davenport, Kelani Jordan, and Fallon Henley. Now, the winner of The Iron Survivor Challenge will be next in line to challenge Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women’s Championship. But tonight, they will all have an opportunity to take the floor and tell you why they believe they’ll be the iron survivor. Now, ladies, I spoke to all of you before the summit, and we all agreed that we’re going to keep things moving. However, if someone mentions your name, you’ll have the opportunity to quickly respond. With that said, Tiffany Stratton, you’re up.

Tiffany Stratton: There’s no other way to start this, is there, Byron? It will start and stop with the center of the universe. Besides, I am the favorite going into this Saturday. And it’s not because I’m the most gifted superstar, the most talented superstar, the most athletic superstar, I can go on, but I mean, Charlotte Flair herself shouted me out, and said that I’m the future of the women’s division. Who else can say that? No one. Besides, I am the only woman in this ring who’s actually held the NXT Women’s Championship. And it’s only a matter of time before I get my title back. All I see is four participation trophies and a winner.

Byron Saxton: Well, Tiffany, you are the most decorated competitor in this match. However, perhaps the competitor with the most potential is Kelani Jordan. So, Kelani, how do you plan to be the iron survivor?

Kelani Jordan: Byron, you’re saying things that I already know. Yes, I know I’m the newest one here, the one with the least experience. And I don’t know what to expect going into that Iron Survivor Challenge. But who does? Last time I check, none of y’all were in the match last year. If anything, I prepped my entire life for this moment. My outstanding gymnastics career has my endurance, top notch. So, I know how to go 25 minutes. When I step into that ring, I’m going to cut a pace that these girls can’t keep up with, even if they tried.

Tiffany Stratton: For the record, I did gymnastics, too.

Kelani Jordan: Tiffany, we’ll see if you could keep up with me.

Tiffany Stratton: Please don’t tiff me, yuck.

Byron Saxton: Ladies, let’s keep things on track here. Let’s move along to Lash Legend.

Lash Legend: About time, Byron. First of all, Kelani, that was really cute. Nobody actually wants to hear you speak, okay. Second of all, Tiffany, you claim to be the most athletic, I differ. But you were looking really athletic when Becky Lynch took your Women’s Championship. So, you can keep saying tootles to that title. Since we’re talking about strategy, hello, have you not seen me with the Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar? So, I would think that I will know a couple things about multiple pinfalls. If you want to know my strategy, it’s very simple. I’m boojie, and no matter how long I’m in that ring, I’m going to bully all of your little asses into that penalty box. Thank you.

Kelani Jordan: Lash, what’s going to be your excuse when the new girl puts your ass in the penalty box?

Lash Legend: Hold up, rookie, that’s not going to happen. Settle down, thank you.

Blair Davenport: Sorry, you know, I’m not here to one up everybody with witty one liner. No, that’s not my style. Byron, I don’t like anyone in this ring right now. And I really don’t care about your opinions about me either. Don’t you notice that no one is coming for me because you are all afraid that you’re going to be put on the shelf, just like Nikkita Lyons and Sol Ruca. Gigi Dolin, she tried to challenge me, but I took care of her as well. So, if you all thought that I was vicious before, well, wait till this Saturday.

Fallon Henley: We get it, you don’t care about anyone in this ring. Just like I don’t care who’s ass I got to kick this Saturday, to become the number one contender. Blair, I’ll knock you into the penalty box. Nothing would thrill me more than knocking Tiffany off her high horse. Kelani, I really don’t have beef with you, but we’re both going for the same thing, and anything goes in this Iron Survivor Challenge. I’m still hyped up from my victory tonight. And I’m going to continue to ride that momentum right to Deadline.

Tiffany Stratton: You have about a zero percent chance of winning the Iron Survivor Challenge. It’s pathetic that they wasted a last chance opportunity on someone like you. What a tragedy.

Lash Legend: I know you didn’t just cut me off.

Tiffany Stratton: I did, get over it.

A massive brawl breaks out in the ring to close the segment.

The Chase U Student Assembly 

Andre Chase: Students, thank you for joining me today for this assembly. Andre Chase University is an institution focus on shaping the young minds of future sports entertainers. Normally, when have these assembly’s, it’s to celebrate the accomplishments of the university. But as you all saw last week, with the press conference, this is not a celebration. Last week’s news of the misuse of university funds, and the illegal gambling practices here at Chase University, have rocked this institution to its core. But I just want to make one thing clear. The person who irresponsibly put this university in severe debt, and the compromising position that it’s currently in, is me. As the founder of Chase University, I failed to display the example I’m trying to set, and I’m so disappointed in myself for continuous lapse in judgment that has led us to this delicate position. And now the most important thing, I’m sure you’re all wondering how this affects you. I’m just going to come out and say it. Due to the results of this investigation, Chase University is now under academic probation. So, unfortunately, a few sanctions have been placed on our university, including any students who enrolled after the investigation began, will no longer be eligible for financial aid due to our compromising debt.

Thea Hail: That’s horrible. Mr. Chase, it would be way easier for us to know what we have to do, if you’ll just tell us how much you actually owe.

Andre Chase: I owe hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it’s not just the loan, it’s the interest. I went through a third party.

Jacy Jayne: Way to go, professor.

Andre Chase: I’m just going to cut to the chase, after losing all of my personal finances, I began to use university assets, which in return caused me to go through an organization that I found myself not being able to pay back, putting myself and this university in a very compromising position. I got this university in this mess. And I’m damn sure going to get us out of this mess. I’m going to restore this university to its full glory, as quickly, and as efficiently as possible.

Duke Hudson: Okay, other than selling my trophy, because I’m not selling my trophy, is there anything else we could do to help?

Jacy Jayne: Thea, are you okay?

Andre Chase: Class, I know this is unsettling, but I’m confident that we can get through this together, and get this debt paid. Thank you.

Ilja Dragunov & Baron Corbin’s Face To Face Segment 

Baron Corbin: Well, I’ll go first as the challenger.

Ilja Dragunov: No, you will not. You have turned this championship match into something more than just a battle for the title on my shoulder. A championship that you’ve actually failed to capture before, right? Baron, you brought my personal life into this. And guess what? You can mock my accent, you can mock my demeanor, you can question the fire and the intensity, I can handle that. But the sacrifices that I make for my son, so that he has a better life, that is a line you have crossed. Saturday, your body will pay for this.

Baron Corbin: Sacrifices. What you call sacrifices, I call excuses. If you wanted to bring your family, you could have. There’s plenty of ways, but no, Ilja, you turn your back on your son. You walked out the door. You got on a plane, and you left. So, those are excuses you tell yourself so that you could sleep at night, in the cold, lonely hotel room. Ilja, what you’re doing to your son, right now, well that’s exactly what your father did to you. That stings, right? Does that sting? The veins are popping out of your neck.

Ilja Dragunov: I’m trying to contain this, because if I unleash it now, and not on Saturday, there will be no NXT Title Match at Deadline. You would leave this place in ambulance, with no opportunity to have this title, with your fancy lifestyle, with your fancy cars, and expensive watches. You’re a materialistic son of a bitch.

Baron Corbin: You think this is about material things? That’s where you’re wrong. Ilja, this is about vindication. Not for you, for me. For you, it’s just another high-profile NXT Championship Match, that you have to win, so that you can justify to your son why you are here. No, this is vindication for me, because with all these people, they’ll never admit it, but they know. I never stopped. Not through brand changes, not through covid, not through the ups and downs. I have been a prominent figure on that television screen for eight years, and I’m taking what’s mine. Ilja, I see it, your blood is boiling. I see it in your eyes, you’re about to lose it, because your son misses you. And you miss your son even more. And I can stand here, and say that to your face, because I am man enough to say that. I can walk down any street in the world, and I don’t have to look over my shoulder. On Saturday, you’ll understand why. You say this is about your family, Ilja? I say do something about it, right now. That’s it, breathe that fire, you think that scares me? Ilja, I’ve been through hell and back, and I always find a way, and Saturday will be no different. Look, buddy, I will help you out. This is for your family. I’ll turn my back, do it for your family. Do it, right now, for your family. Saturday, Ilja, I take your only reason to be here. But that’s right, buddy, you are a coward, you’ll find a way to stay.

Ilja Dragunov: The only person that can destroy is the dragon himself.

– The male participants in the Iron Survivor Challenge get into a piers six brawl as the show goes off the air.
