Eddy Thorpe Withdraws from NXT Iron Survivor Challenge

Eddy Thorpe has been removed from the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge at WWE's NXT Deadline event after being attacked backstage by an unknown assailant. General Manager Ava confirmed that Thorpe would not compete and is seeking a suitable replacement for the match, which includes wrestlers Wes Lee, Nathan Frazer, Ethan Page, and Je'Von Evans. Thorpe's participation was cut short after he won a Last Chance match, only to be knocked out moments later, causing concern over who orchestrated the attack. The situation has raised questions about Thorpe's recent troubles with management, particularly with Ava. The event is set to occur tonight in Minneapolis, MN, at 7 PM ET.
