WWE might have tipped its hand ahead of tonights episode of NXT. A glitch on the companys official website appears to have spoiled the outcome of the NXT Womens Championship match before it even happened.
As of 1:20 PM ET on November 18, the WWE.com title history page began listing Jacy Jayne as the current NXT Womens Championeven though the match against Tatum Paxley hasnt aired yet. What made it even more suspicious was the timestamp associated with her reign: a negative number, showing -516 minutes. That would place the official title change over eight and a half hours into the future, aligning perfectly with the second hour of tonights broadcast.
It looks like WWE had a timed backend update set to go live during the match but something triggered the change early. This kind of error could spoil what was intended to be a dramatic in-ring moment
WWE fans are used to surprises, but this glitch may have undercut a major payoffespecially considering this is a rematch from Halloween Havoc, where Tatum Paxley retained her title in a heated bout. If Jacy Jayne is indeed walking out of MSG with the championship tonight, it wont come as a shock to those who caught the premature update.
This isnt the first time WWEs digital systems have leaked match results ahead of time, but with NXT gaining steam heading into Deadline, moments like this can chip away at the shows unpredictability.
Do you think WWE spoiled the match result early or is this just a misdirection? Should they fix their backend systems before fans lose more surprises? Let us know what you think in the comments.
