The 2024 NXT Deadline (stylized as DEADL1NE) is an upcoming professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be the third annual NXT Deadline held for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental brand NXT. The event will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at the Minneapolis Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 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.
This will be WWE's first livestreaming event in Minneapolis since TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in 2019. This will also be WWE's final livestreaming event to air on the WWE Network in international markets, as its content will move over to Netflix in January 2025.

Production[]
Deadline is an annual professional wrestling 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.
On November 6, 2024, at NXT 2300, WWE announced that the third Deadline would be held on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at the Minneapolis Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This will be the first WWE livestreaming event to be held in Minneapolis since TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in 2019. The event will air via WWE's livestreaming platforms, Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets. This will be the final WWE livestreaming event to air on the WWE Network in those areas as its content will move to Netflix in January 2025.
Storylines[]
The event will comprise several matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.
On November 6 during the special NXT episode NXT 2300, NXT General Manager Ava announced the return of Deadline. Qualifiers for both the men's and women's Iron Survivor Challenges were then confirmed to begin the following week. The first men's spot will be determined by a match between Cedric Alexander and Wes Lee, while the first women's spot will be determined by a match between Cora Jade and Sol Ruca.
