(TGBH) Top of the morning mafackas, we’re getting close to the end of the year. And boy oh boy what a year it has been. We’re cooking up some bomb casseroles and such for yall for 2026, literally and figuratively. And we the blog World order will continue to pump out these predictions blogs. We are on a roll and we can’t be stopped. Which brings us to our next stop on the tail end of the 2025 PLE productions. We got NXT DeadL1ne with a great card that’ll make for great wrestling. Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh.
(PCM) Man, we're getting a lot of shows at the end of the year, huh? Seems like we have multiple shows a week. People need those paydays to get some presents.
(DSS) 2025 has been a wild ride. The end of the year is jam packed with shows and I almost feel like there’s not enough time for all this wrestling. Almost. There’s always time for wrestling.
(TGBH) The day of the DeadL1ne approacheth! Grab a beverage, put something that’ll pack a crunch in the air fryer and let’s get to it yall!!
Pre-Game w/bWo:
DeadL1ne 2025
NXT Heavyweight Championship Match
Ricky Saints(c) vs. Oba Femi
(DSS) Everyone wants Oba Femi called up to the main roster, but not me. There’s no place for him where he can be as dominant as he is in NXT. If he goes main roster and isn’t immediately handed every championship he wants people will complain that Hunter can’t book and he’s fumbling Oba. Let him win back the NXT Championship and Ricky can get called up. There’s not much left for Ricky in NXT, and he doesn’t need to be on the main roster directly in the championship picture. He can float around and work with anyone else and be just as good as he is in NXT.
Darkstar Shady's Pick:
Oba Femi via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike's Pick:
Eicky Saints via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope's Pick:
Oba Femi via Pinfall
Tatum Paxley vs. Izzi Dame
(PCM) I am still Team Tater all the way. But also, who didn’t see this coming? I think it is time to strap the rocket to Tatum. She has the crowd behind her, and you can’t deny the reaction she got when she won the title. Plus, can we have a spooky good guy for once? Why do they all have to be bad?
PaperClip Mike's Pick:
Tatum Paxley via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope's Pick:
Tatum Paxley via Pinfall

North American Championship Match
Ethan Page(c) vs Mr. Iguana
(TGBH) It’s happening y’all! AAA standouts are slowly trickling into NXT and it wont be long before the NXT Universe SE PONE VERDE, or GOES GREEN if you dont know Spanish. Mr. Iguana has been a staple on WWE television as they continue to mesh AAA into the fed’s programming. I have watched numerous AAA stars prosper and find a new pep in their step in this new WWEAAA era. And the only other person who has stood out more since this endeavor has been our North American Heavyweight Champion Ethan Page. Page has shown nothing but respect for the AAA brand and has reached a new tier of competitiveness and aggressiveness in the process. And after Ethan Page has beaten Mr. Iguana twice in Mixed Tag competition, it’s now time for these two to go mano a mano for some NXT gold. You can expect fun shenanigans here from both sides of the squared circle in what will be the match that steals the show. Mr.Iguana continued visits to the PC show they have big plans for him, and whilst it’s too early to put the strap on him, he will make a great case for a well deserved spot on the NXT roster.
The Great Brown Hope's Pick:
Ethan Page via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady's Pick:
Ethan Page via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike's Pick:
Ethan Page via Pinfall
Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge
Je’Von Evans vs. Leon Slater vs. Joe Hendry vs. Myles Borne vs. Dion Lennox
(TGBH) This flock of young stars in this match just comes to show how bright the future of NXT really is. Leon Slater has found his place with the NXT Universe and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him sign with the fed similar to other TNA stars. Hendry and Evans are stars primed for the main roster and will move up without having to carry NXT gold. Borne and Lennox are the two wild cards, with it being evident that there are big plans in the works for Lennox. This match could go either way, but this is a match that can catapult a talent to the next level. Picking Lennox to win this one as he will get his shot to shine on his own against proven and established superstars.
(DSS) There is a lot of young talent in this one. And while Joe Hendry isn’t exactly on the “young” end of it, he is officially WWE now. Hendry has what it takes to be in the NXT main event picture, and beyond. Let’s start him off strong with a big win and push. He had success in TNA and he needs to continue it in WWE.
(PCM) This is really gonna come down to three men, in my opinion. Evans, Hendy, and Borne. Slater is TNA, and with the new deal, I don’t see it. And I see no one from Darkstate getting close to the NXT title. And thinking about it, Bourne is almost there but not yet. I think the right answer is here is Hendry. The new signee and the biggest name in this match.
The Great Brown Hope's Pick:
Dion Lennox
Darkstar Shady's Pick:
Joe Hendry
PaperClip Mike's Pick:
Joe Hendry
Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge
Kelani Jordan vs. Lola Vice vs. Sol Ruca vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Kendal Grey
(PCM) This one is a bit harder to choose from, as all ladies are pretty much on equal footing. The only one I would vote against is Kendal Grey. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of her work in Evolve, but the trend of a bunch of double champs needs to stop. I think it comes down to either Jordynne or Lola. And since I like new face in the title picture, gimme Lola for this.
(DSS) Jordynne Grace feels like the natural favorite in a match like this. That’s exactly why she isn’t going to win. Jordynne Grace has been stuck in the NXT vortex for too long as it is, and it’s time for someone else to move up. Sol Ruca should be the one to win, but they’re cooking something else up for her with her tension with Zaria. Lola Vice is primed for a true breakout performance to get her to the top. Let her win this and go to the top and capture championship gold.
(TGBH) Nothing lasts forever, but this is getting good now. Emerging from this current Women’s division is a nice crop of stars ready for the next step. The NXT women’s main event scene needs more contenders and it looks like Vice, Jordan, and Ruca got next. Sol Ruca is over and continues to get better with every opportunity she gets to showcase her skillz. Kelani Jordan is being built to be a big star and will put on a hell of a performance with all eyes on her, again. Grey’s still got a ways to go but will mesh well with these women that she will be competing with on a regular weekly basis. Jordynne Grace should be on the main roster, but some NXT gold wouldn’t hurt either. Which brings me to Lola Vice….Lola Vice has been a reliable talent and has shined in her time with AAA. She deserves some NXT gold now, especially if they’re not gonna give her the AAA Mixed Tag belts with Mr. Iguana. It’s time to take the NXT Women’s Championship to Vice City, i’m down with it. Lola walks away the winner and gets her shot at NXT greatness.
