First Look at NXT Deadline Stage Inside Boeing Center

With NXT Deadline just hours away, fans are already hyped for the Iron Survivor Challenge matches and the NXT Title main event—but now we’ve got our first real look at what the night’s going to look like.

In an update, Shawn Michaels took to Twitter and dropped a video straight from inside the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas—giving fans a full view of the stage setup for tonight’s Premium Live Event.

“It may be quiet now, but trust me, we’re about to make some noise in San Antonio!”

The stage includes the signature Deadline logo, sleek LED panels, countdown-style numbers lining the entrance, and of course, the fully installed penalty box for the Iron Survivor Challenge matches.

This year’s show features the Men’s and Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge matches, plus Ricky Saints defending the NXT Championship against “The Ruler” Oba Femi, in what’s expected to be the show-stealer.

With a stage this clean and a card this stacked, Deadline promises to be one of NXT’s biggest nights of the year—and now thanks to Shawn Michaels, fans got a front-row peek before the action even starts.
