In another Iron Survivor Challenge tonight, Grayson Waller earned himself a shot at the NXT Championship with a huge win.
In the complex match, which essentially saw superstars trying to score pinfalls for points and have the most points in the end, it was Waller who would walk out as the newest #1 Contender for the NXT Championship. It was another buzzer-beater-esque win, too, with Waller getting a third pin and then spending much of the final time running away from other opponents who tried to pin him.
