Earlier today:
They showed Kendal Grey footage from when she was younger competing in sports. She said she grew up a fan of John Cena, and now it was him that chose her to compete in the Iron Woman Survivor Match. Wren Sinclair said she is proud of Grey and is here to support her.
Backstage:
Sol Ruca face-timed Zaria. Ruca apologized for what has been going on the last few weeks. Zaria said she felt terrible. She would have been here tonight, but didn’t think she wanted her there. Ruca then said she’s sorry for not telling her she will be on Saturday Night’s Main Event, but she didn’t think Zaria wanted to hear from her. Zaria said when she gets back, they will talk about this further.

Backstage:
Sol Ruca told Kendal Grey she was the better woman tonight but if her knee wasn’t injured, she would have been the winner. Wren Sinclair told Ruca that sounds like an excuse.

Earlier this week:
Dion Lennox said when he came to NXT, people thought he was a joke. He had to align himself with Dark State for people to take him seriously. John Cena picked him to be in the Iron Survival Challenge. He came to NXT to be Dion Lennox. He said he relinquished half of his NXT Tag Team Championship because Dark State can win all the titles. He wants to concentrate on winning the NXT Championship.
Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge: Je’Von Evans vs Joe Hendry vs Myles Borne vs Leon Slater vs Dion Lennox
Evans and Slater started the match. Evans hit Slater with a hurricanrana to earn a point. Myles Borne was the next entrant followed by Dion Lennox. Lennox hit a driver on Evans and pinned him to earn a point. Hendry was the final entrant. Hendry hit a reverse slam on Borne to score a point. Slater hit Hendry with a swanton 450 off the top rope and pinned him to earn a point. Borne hit Lennox with the Borne again and pinned him to earn a point. Evans rolled up Borne with a few seconds left in the match to score his second point and win the match.
With the win, Je’Von Evans will now face Oba Femi for the NXT Championship at NXT New Year’s Evil.
Winner: Je’Von Evans
