Iron Survivor Challenge [ edit ] The Iron Survivor Challenge is a 25-minute match that features five wrestlers. Two wrestlers start the match, and every five minutes, another wrestler enters with the fifth and final participant entering at the 15-minute mark. The objective is to earn the most points before the time expires (the "deadline"). Points are earned by scoring a pinfall, submission, or being the victim of a disqualification. A wrestler who is pinned, submitted, or disqualified goes into a penalty box for 90 seconds. The wrestler with the most points when the time expires is deemed the winner, and in the result of a tie, those who are tied enter sudden death overtime. The winners of the men's and women's matches are dubbed the Iron Survivors and receive a future match for theNXT Championship andNXT Women's Championship , respectively.[ 8]
