NXT General Manager Ava announced that Eddy Thorpe is unable to compete in the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge match at NXT Deadline.
She said a suitable replacement will be found to take his place.
Thorpe won the last chance qualifier, defeating Axiom and Cedric Alexander and Lexis King on the December 3rd episode of NXT to qualify for the match. He was found attacked backstage after the bout, putting his status in the match in doubt.
