After the double special of Gold Rush, NXT will return to the Performance Center to celebrate its last weekly show before Deadline, the PLE with which the developmental brand will close the year. Many of its protagonists will be present at tomorrow night's show, highlighting the participants of the Iron Survivor Challenges.

On one hand, the women will have a meeting prior to the event. On the other hand, the five participants in the male match will have some action before the PLE. The company has just announced that Je'Von Evans, Leon Slater, Joe Hendry, and Myles Borne will face DarkState in a tag team match.

The fight takes place after what happened in the final moments of the second day of Gold Rush, where DarkState tried to attack Myles Borne, who had just won the last spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge. It was then when the rest of the participants (except for Dion Lennox, a member of DarkState) came to Borne's aid, leading to a scuffle. Tomorrow, both groups will be able to finish the fight they started last week.
