The field for WWE NXT’s upcoming Gauntlet Eliminator match is starting to take shape, and a new update has confirmed the second competitor heading into the high-stakes showdown.

On March 21, 2026, Robert Stone took to Instagram to reveal that Dion Lennox will officially join the Gauntlet Eliminator match set for the March 24 episode of WWE NXT. The announcement makes Lennox the second confirmed entrant in the multi-competitor bout, which will determine the next challenger for the NXT North American Championship.

This latest development comes just after Stone previously confirmed that Jackson Drake would be the first entrant in the match, setting the stage for what is shaping up to be one of the key matches leading into Stand & Deliver.

With Lennox now officially added to the lineup, the Gauntlet Eliminator is beginning to gain momentum as more participants are expected to be revealed in the days leading up to Tuesday night’s episode. The stakes for the match are significant, as the winner will earn a championship opportunity against Myles Borne for the NXT North American Title at NXT Stand & Deliver, one of the brand’s biggest annual shows.

As anticipation builds, the March 24 episode of NXT is already shaping up to deliver several notable matches beyond the Gauntlet Eliminator. A tag team tournament bout will see Eli Knight and Elio LeFluer face Shawn Spears and Niko Vance of The Culling, while Sol Ruca and ZARIA are set to meet face-to-face as their rivalry continues to intensify. Singles competition will also feature Ricky Saints, accompanied by Ethan Page, taking on Tony D’Angelo, while Thea Hail is scheduled to battle Kelani Jordan. Tag team action is also set with Fatal Influence’s Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley facing Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey.
