# The Wrestling Podcast Two Episode 183: NXT Deadline Predictions
This episode presents predictions for the upcoming NXT Deadline event, focusing on the Iron Survivor Challenge matches and championship implications for WWE's developmental brand.
## Men's Iron Survivor Challenge Prediction
The first prediction centers on Je'Von Evans winning the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge, which would position him to challenge either Ricky Sainis or the Ruler Oba Femi for the NXT Championship at a later date. This outcome would continue Evans's momentum and establish him as a top contender in the men's division.
## Women's Iron Survivor Challenge Prediction
For the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge, Sol Ruca is predicted to emerge victorious. The notes indicate this victory would set up a storyline between Zaria and Sol Ruca, with potential for the relationship to deteriorate relatively soon. The prediction suggests that on NXT programming, Zaria may attempt to attack Sol Ruca with spears, only to be intercepted by Kendal Grey appearing unexpectedly to make the save.
## NXT Championship Match
The third prediction advocates for Oba Femi to reclaim the NXT Championship. The reasoning provided emphasizes multiple strengths that make Oba Femi an ideal champion for the brand. He demonstrates exceptional ability as the Ruler character, excels at delivering compelling promotional segments, displays impressive speed and agility in the ring despite his size, consistently delivers high-quality matches, understands ring psychology and storytelling, has nearly achieved main roster status, and is projected to be a main event performer at WrestleMania within the next three to four years.
## North American Championship Match
Ethan Page is predicted to retain the North American Championship against Mr. Iguana. The justification notes that Ethan Page has reached a near-main roster level of readiness and could potentially lose the championship to either Josh Briggs or Tavion Heights in the future.
## Future WrestleMania Main Event Prospects
The fifth prediction looks beyond the immediate event to identify future stars. Oba Femi, Je'Von Evans, and Trick Williams are highlighted as potential future WrestleMania main eventers due to their storytelling abilities and capacity to transition successfully to the main WWE roster. The notes reference Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes as examples of NXT alumni who became world heavyweight champions and possessed strong storytelling skills. A parallel is drawn to a compelling feud for the NXT Championship that occurred three years prior, suggesting these current performers have similar potential to create memorable championship rivalries on the main roster.
