Production

Background
The event will be held at the Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

In December 2022, the American professional wrestling promotion WWE held a livestreaming event for its developmental brand, NXT, called NXT Deadline, which replaced the previously annual event, NXT WarGames. The inaugural Deadline debuted the Iron Survivor Challenge match-type in WWE for both the men and women, which is a multi-person match in which a wrestler attempts to score the most falls before the time expires to earn a future match for the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship, respectively.[1]

On September 28, 2023, WWE announced the return of Deadline, thus establishing Deadline as NXT's annual December event. It is scheduled to be held on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and will air on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets. This will also be the first televised WWE event held at this venue since NXT TakeOver: XXV in June 2019, when the arena was known as the Webster Bank Arena (renamed in 2022).[2][3]

Storylines

The card 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, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.[4][5]
