It was the best of times, and the worst of times for Eddy Thorpe.
Eddy Thorpe defeated Lexis King, Axiom, and Cedric Alexander in the final qualifying match for the upcoming NXT Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline.
Thorpe got the quick pin by pulling Axiom off of a cover on Lexis King to sneak in and get the pin for himself. As a result of this victory, he now joins Ethan Page, Nathan Frazer, Wes Lee, and Je'Von Evans in the upcoming match on December 7.
That is if he can make it to the match. Thorpe was found at the end of NXT laid out by a mystery assailant.
