The 2023 NXT Deadline (stylized as DEADL1NE) is the upcoming second annual NXT Deadline professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division. It will take place on Saturday, December 9, 2023, 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.
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).
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.
Qualifying matches for the men's Iron Survivor Challenge began on the November 7 episode of NXT. Dijak became the first qualified entrant by defeating Tyler Bate. The following week, Trick Williams qualified by defeating Joe Coffey. On the November 21 episode, Josh Briggs qualified by defeating Carmelo Hayes.
Qualifying matches for the women's Iron Survivor Challenge also began on the November 7 episode of NXT. Tiffany Stratton became the first qualified entrant by defeating Fallon Henley. The following week, Lash Legend qualified by defeating Roxanne Perez. On the November 21 episode, Blair Davenport qualified by defeating Thea Hail.
After Ilja Dragunov's successful defense of the NXT Championship on Night 2 of NXT: Halloween Havoc, Baron Corbin attacked Dragunov backstage and threatened him. On the November 14 episode of NXT, Dragunov attempted to try and attack Corbin after the latter's match against Wes Lee, but Corbin stopped and attacked him. Dragunov then accepted Corbin's challenge for an NXT Championship match at Deadline.
