The 2025 NXT Deadline (stylized as DEADL1NE), also promoted as NXT Deadline: San Antonio, is an upcoming professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be the fourth annual Deadline held for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental brand NXT. The event will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas and will be the first Deadline to broadcast on Netflix in international markets. The event is based around the Iron Survivor Challenge for men and women, a 25-minute five-person match in which a wrestler attempts to score the most falls in order to win and earn a match for the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship, respectively.

Production

Background

Deadline is an annual professional wrestling livestreaming event held in December by the American promotion WWE for its developmental brand NXT since 2022. The event is based around the Iron Survivor Challenge for both the men and women, which is a five-person match in which a wrestler attempts to score the most falls before the 25-minute time limit (the "deadline") expires to earn a future match for the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship, respectively. ^[1]

On October 25, 2025, at Halloween Havoc, WWE announced that the fourth Deadline would be held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas. The event will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States, Netflix in most international markets, and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marks the first Deadline to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January in those areas. ^[2]

Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT . ^{[3] [4]}
