The final NXT PLE for 2024 took place on Saturday as WWE NXT Deadline occured from The Armory in Minneapolis, MN.

The event didn't disappoint as in the main event, Giulia won the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge over Sol Ruca, Zaria, Stephanie Vaquer and Wren Sinclair.

In what was a very athletic contest, it came down to the final minute as Giulia, Vaquer, Zaria and Ruca each had one pin with Sinclair in the cage. With about 50 seconds to go, Sinclair came out letting it all hangout. Her perserverance led her to a pin over Ruca.

Moments later, Zaria hit an F5 on Sinclair. Then Giulia came out of nowhere with a devastating flying knee to pin Zaria with nine seconds left. Vaquer snuck up from behind and tried to roll Giulia up, but the Japanese star kicked out at two. Vaquer quickly did a cradle, but time ran out, and Giulia survived to get the win and an NXT Women's title shot against Roxanne Perez at New Year's Evil on Jan. 7 in Los Angeles.

On the men's side, a returning Oba Femi got the victory in the final seconds to win the Iron Survivor Challenge.

Ethan Page and Je'Von Evans had two pins apiece. Femi was battling Wes Lee in the upper right corner. Nathan Fraser thought he saw an opening and ran to nail the former North American Champion. However, Femi grabbed Frazer and Lee by the throat with a double chokeslam for a double pin to have three and in the lead.

Evans leapt up to the top rope with a flying RKO on Femi. Instead of going for the pin to extend the match, Evans rolled the other way and Femi secured the victory.

Now, Femi will face Trick Williams, who retained the heavyweight title over Ridge Holland on the show, at New Year's Evil.

Here is what happened at WWE NXT Deadline.

Who Will Win?

Giulia, Vaquer, Zaria and Ruca each have one pin. There are 90 seconds left. Who gets it done?

Final Entrant

First Pin Goes To Giulia

Main Event Time

It's time for the main event at WWE NXT Deadline as it is The Women's Iron Survivor match with Sol Ruca vs. Zaria vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia vs. Wren Sinclair.

Whoever wins gets the next title shot against Roxanne Perez.

The match is starting out with Giulia and Sinclair.

Trick Williams STILL The Champ

Williams defeats Holland to retain the NXT Heavyweight Championship. The match was mostly controlled by Holland, who did work on Williams's neck.

Holland appeared to be moments away from winning the gold as hit The Redeemer. But Williams kicked out at two.

Williams roared back with an axe kick and then The Trick Shot to remain the champion.

No Quit In The Champ

NXT Heavyweight Title Match

It's time for the co-main event of WWE NXT Deadline as Trick Williams defends the NXT Heavyweight Championship against Ridge Holland.

It all comes down to this. Can Williams retain the gold and leave Minneapolis with the belt? Or does Holland shock the world?

Here we go.

AND STILL

Nathan Frazer and Axiom retain NXT Tag Team Titles over Tavion Heights and Myles Borne. Amazing storytelling throughout which ended up getting the crowd on their feet in anticipation of what would happen next.

The No Quarter Catch Crew, especially Heights showed out here. After his stint in Japan for Pro Wrestling NOAH, Heights looks like a completely different wrestler. The confidence is there, the moves are more crisp and the charisma has finally come out. He was by the far the star of the match.

It came down to Thorpe going for a backslide. Somehow, Axiom gets Thorpe into a small package for the pinfall.

Best match of the night so far and we have two more to go.

Tag Team Title Match

Now at WWE NXT Deadline, Axion and Nathan Frazer put the NXT Tag Team Titles at stake against No Quarter Catch Crew members Tavion Heights and Myles Borne.

Frazer is competing for the second time this evening. Will he feel the effects of The Men's Iron Survivor Match?

Lola Vice Gets The Job Done

Vice did what many expected to beat Parker. After a grueling and physical affair where we saw submissions, hard kicks, punches, and work on the outside, Vice blasted Parker with a spinning back elbow that crumbled Parker to the mat.

The former MMA star did a Gator Roll into an Anaconda Choke that made Parker go unconscious. Hope we see more of these in the future.

Destruction At Its Finest

Let's Head To The Underground

Up next at WWE NXT Deadline is Lola Vice battling Jaida Parker in an NXT Underground Match. There are no ring ropes. You can't win by pin, countout or disqualification. You can only win by submission, knockout, or TKO.

Vice has advantage considering she's had five MMA fights, going 4-1, including a stint in Bellator.

Oba Femi Wins In A Unique Manner To Earn Heavyweight Title Shot

The match came down to the final 30 seconds as Page and Evans each had two pins apiece. Femi had Lee in the corner and Fraser ran to nail him. But Femi grabbed both of them by the throat with a double chokeslam for two pins.

Evans came with the flying RKO to Femi. Instead of rolling over the pin, he shifted the other way and time ran out.

Femi now earns a crack likely against the winner of Williams and Holland at New Year's Evil. A creative finish to a good match.

Could It Be All Ego Or Je'Von?

Who Will Be The Men's Iron Survivor?

With five minutes left, everyone has one pin. Who gets the job done?

Oba Femi IS BACK

The longest reigning North American champion has returned.

Poor Ethan Page

First Fall Is Scored

The Men's Iron Survivor Match

Kicking off WWE NXT Deadline is The Men's Iron Survivor Match between, Wes Lee, Je'Von Evans, Ethan Page, Nathan Frazer and a surprise entrant. The surprise was supposed to be Eddy Thorpe but he got attacked by an unknown person on this past Tuesday's NXT.

This bout goes for 25 minutes. It started with Lee and Evans. And whoever gains the most pins in that time frame is the winner.

Giulia Is Ready For Battle
