NXT Championship Match Announced For Deadline

By Lyle Kilbane • Published 23rd November 2022

Bron Breakker now knows who his next challenger for the NXT Championship is with a huge title match set for the Deadline premium live event.

Bron Breakker’s second reign as NXT Champion began when he defeated Dolph Ziggler for the gold on the 4th of April edition of Monday Night Raw. Since then Breakker has seen off challenges for his gold from the likes of GUNTHER, Joe Gacy, Cameron Grimes, JD McDonagh, Tyler Bate, and Von Wagner as he continues his dominance on the white and gold brand.

Now the second-generation star is in for a whole new test at Deadline on the 10th of December when he takes on former WWE US and Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews.

Deadline will also see the introduction of the Iron Survivor Challenge match with both men’s and women’s versions of the bouts taking place. The winner of the bouts will be the one with the most falls in the time limit and they will go on to challenge for the NXT and NXT Women’s Championships respectively.

Another former main roster talent may well have his sights set on gold after a former Raw star attacked Wes Lee on the 22nd of November edition of the developmental brand’s TV.
