In a move to protect its products, WWE has taken drastic measures to prevent spoilers and unauthorized content from leaking out during its NXT tapings. Fans attending the recent NXT show at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, were warned by security that they were only allowed to take still photos of the taping, with video recording strictly prohibited.
This warning comes amid reports of WWE ejecting fans and reprimanding them for tweeting live spoilers or videos during tapings, mainly at NXT shows. The issue of spoilers has been a hot topic of discussion among fans, particularly during the Full Sail University days.
To drive the point home, NXT Level Up announcer Blake Howard took to the mic between shows to remind fans to avoid spoiling the episode for others. This crackdown on spoilers is seen as a significant effort by WWE to maintain the element of surprise for its upcoming shows, including the highly anticipated Battleground event on June 9 in Las Vegas.
At the Battleground PLE, the inaugural WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion will be crowned in a six-way Ladder Match. So far, two Superstars, Sol Ruca and Lash Legend, have qualified for the match, with more competitors set to be determined in the coming weeks.
Despite the strict measures in place, WWE’s efforts to prevent spoilers may be seen as restrictive by some fans. However, the company’s commitment to protecting its products and maintaining the element of surprise is crucial to delivering an exciting experience for fans.
As WWE continues to build towards Battleground, fans can expect more surprises and announcements in the coming weeks. With the new championship on the line, the stakes are higher than ever, and WWE is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the event lives up to its hype.
