The Iron Survivor Challenge has been the staple match of "WWE NXT" Deadline since both the stipulation and the event were conceived in 2022. Roxanne Perez and Grayson Waller were the inaugural winners of the match, and would go on to have contrasting success with their subsequent title shot; Perez won the NXT Women's Championship while Waller failed to wrest the title from Bron Breakker. Last year's event saw Blair Davenport and Trick Williams win their respective bout, this time with Williams to go on and win the NXT Championship while Davenport failed to dethrone Lyra Valkyria.
