While two superstars will begin the match, the remaining names will be released into the ring in a gap of five minutes into the ring.

The winner of a fall will be awarded a point, while the person getting pinned will have to sit in a penalty box for 90 seconds. But he/she will be allowed to return to the match after those 90 seconds.
The winners of the respective Men’s & Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge matches will become the new number-one contenders for the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Deadline 2022. Bron Breakker and Mandy Rose are the respective NXT and NXT Women’s Champions who will thus receive their next challengers at the next NXT PLE.
WWE NXT Deadline 2022 airs Saturday, December 10, possibly from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Match participants for Iron Survivor Challenge bouts will be announced in the upcoming episodes of NXT.
