The Iron Survivor Challenge is a 25-minute match featuring five wrestlers. Two competitors start the bout, with the remaining three entering at timed intervals.
Participants score points via pinfall, submission, or DQ. Any wrestler who is scored upon must enter a penalty box for 90 seconds. The winner is the individual with the most points when the time limit expires.
The 2024 Iron Survivor Challenge winners were Oba Femi and Giulia.
At that event, held December 7, 2024, in Minneapolis, Femi won the men’s match with three points, defeating Wes Lee, Je’Von Evans, Nathan Frazer, and Ethan Page.
Giulia won the women’s match with two points over Sol Ruca, Stephanie Vaquer, Zaria, and Wren Sinclair. Both winners earned championship matches at NXT: New Year’s Evil.
