In-depth Predictions/Other elements for NXT Deadline 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Kickoff Show: Axiom vs. Nathan Frazer; Singles Match: my pick is Nathan Frazier. Even though I don't watch the ins and outs of this brand, I can't be the only one thinking they should do something with Nathan Frazer starting from here and going through the rest of 2023 and 2024.

Dijak vs. Trick Williams vs. Josh Briggs vs. Bron Breakker vs. Tyler Bate; Men's Iron Survivor Challenge to determine the #1 Contender for the NXT Championship: my pick is Trick Williams. This is one of those occasions where you are just going to have to hear me out here; even though I am not up to date on the situation with Williams and Carmelo Hayes, it could be possible that they may want to do a story arc where Williams gets very close to becoming the new NXT Champion, but at the last second Hayes comes down to make sure that; that doesn't take place, consequently fuelling their feud, which I have just noticed the next Premium Live Event is entitled Vengeance Day, so it could fit nicely into my prediction here.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Lash Legend vs. Blair Davenport vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Fallon Henley; Women's Iron Survivor Challenge to determine the #1 Contender for the NXT Women's Championship: my pick is Tiffany Stratton. I have a feeling they might want to put the championship back on her at some point early on in 2024 so this would be a good start on doing that, I am happy with my selection, but having said that I really want them to do something with Blair Davenport, so even hopefully have her win here or allow her to put in a good showing so it sets up nicely for 2024 at the very least.

Dragon Lee [with LWO's Rey  Mysterio] vs. The Judgement Day's Dominik  Mysterio [with the WWE World Women's Champion Rhea Ripley;] Singles Match for the NXT North American Championship: my pick is Dominik  Mysterio. This is completely based on speculation; why do I have a feeling that this could be a slow build-up to a rematch between father and son at WWE WrestleMania 40/2024 from this year's WrestleMania possibly with this championship on the line, but history not repeating itself twice.

Baron Corbin vs. Champ Ilja Dragunov; Singles Match for the NXT Championship: my pick is Ilja Dragunov. This match will be hard-hitting, it doesn't feel like that championship is going anywhere any time soon, so it would be good just to see Corbin put in a good showing and look better for having this opportunity.

Carmelo Hayes vs. Lexis King; Singles Match: my pick is Lexis King. I should very quickly point out I fully expect with the assist from Williams. Because I don't see King beating Hayes any other way, if I was to be brutally honest which I am obviously and just for the record if I haven't made it clear when it is appropriate in other content I am sure we hate King's is tired gimmick and it just really rubs me up the wrong way as in go away heat.

Roxanne Perez vs. Kiana James; Cage Match: my pick is Roxanne Perez. Yes absolutely they should finish this PLE on this match stipulation, but I digress, it just feels like they would want to send their audience/viewing audiences home happy so my prediction would do that.
