Two matchups have joined NXT’s final Premium Live Event (PLE) of 2025.

NXT Deadline, which will take place on Saturday night from the Boeing Center in San Antonio, Texas, is now up to five matchups following a pair of announcements on Tuesday’s episode of NXT TV.

Former NXT Women’s Champion Tatum Paxley will go one-on-one with former ally Izzi Dame in a grudge match this weekend.

After being betrayed by Dame and the rest of The Culling at NXT Gold Rush, causing her to drop her title in the process, Paxley has lost a lot over the past few weeks. However, on this week’s NXT, she promised that she’ll make Dame “feel all of my pain” when they meet at Deadline.

Saturday’s card will also see Ethan Page defend his NXT North American Championship against AAA viral star Mr. Iguana.

Recently tied up with his duties as one-half of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, NXT General Manager Ava noted that Page hasn’t defended his North American title in over a month. Looking to extend his nearly 200-day run with the belt, he’ll try to get past the same man whom he took the mixed tag belts off just last month.

Here’s an updated look at this weekend’s Deadline card, which also features a pair of Iron Survivor matches and a rematch between Ricky Saints and Oba Femi for the NXT Championship.

  • Ricky Saints vs. Oba Femi (NXT Championship)
  • Jordynne Grace vs. Sol Ruca vs. Lola Vice vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Kendal Grey (2025 NXT Women’s Iron Survivor Match)
  • Joe Hendry vs. Myles Borne vs. Leon Slater vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Dion Lennox (2025 NXT Men’s Iron Survivor Match)
  • Ethan Page vs. Mr. Iguana (NXT North American Championship)
  • Tatum Paxley vs. Izzi Dame
