Folks, it was another chaotic evening in the NXT women’s division as Stephanie Vaquer and Zaria snagged their spots in the upcoming Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline. It’s all coming together for the December 7 event, where the women of NXT will once again fight for bragging rights and championship dreams. Let’s break it down, match by match.
Vaquer’s Victory: Don’t Bring a Distraction to a Brick Fight
Jaida Parker looked like she had things under control against “La Primera” Stephanie Vaquer, but then Lola Vice showed up, casually holding a brick like it was part of her evening accessories. (Is this construction season or NXT?) The distraction was all Vaquer needed to nail Parker with a face-kick and finish things off with a package backbreaker that screamed, “Thanks for your momentary lapse of judgment!”
It’s unclear what Vice’s beef with Parker is, but let’s hope it doesn’t escalate to sledgehammers next week.
Zaria Makes an Impact—and Then Some
The artist formerly known as Delta, now Zaria, proved that she’s not here to play nice, especially when she’s facing No Quarter Catch Crew’s Wren Sinclair. Zaria started strong with some jaw-dropping suplexes that probably made Sinclair question her career choices.
Of course, where there’s one member of the Catch Crew, there’s usually backup. Charlie Dempsey tried to pull a fast one, distracting Zaria on the outside. For about 30 seconds, Sinclair had the upper hand. Then Zaria snapped back with a spear so devastating it should come with a warning label, followed by an F5 to seal the deal. Boom—another name added to the Iron Survivor roster.
Two Spots Left—and Drama Brewing
With Vaquer and Zaria now in the mix, only two spots remain in the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge. Over on tonight’s show, Kelani Jordan hinted at facing Giulia next week, but nothing’s official yet. If Kelani gets her way, though, expect fireworks—and maybe another brick cameo.
NXT Deadline is shaping up to be a battle for the ages, and let’s not forget the history here: the inaugural winner, Roxanne Perez, and last year’s victor, Blair Davenport, set the bar sky-high. Will this year’s lineup continue the trend of unforgettable moments? With Vaquer’s ferocity and Zaria’s raw power, the odds are good.
