First Look at WWE NXT Goldrush Set

As the crowd poured into The Theater at Madison Square Garden just after 7 PM, fans got their first up-close look at the WWE NXT: Goldrush stage—and they wasted no time sharing it.

Photos began circulating online as the arena lights kicked in and the Goldrush setup was revealed. The stage featured bold golden graphics with the new NXT Goldrush logo displayed prominently on multiple screens. The ring sat in the center under a grid of crisscrossing light beams, with branded WWE banners framing both sides of the entrance ramp.

One fan photo from section 102 shows the ring under full production lights with the LED screens glowing in orange and gold. Another angle from the upper level captured the impressive light ceiling and a near-packed house, as rows of fans with yellow seat towels settled in. A closer ringside shot revealed the signature NXT production vibe.

This was the official kickoff to Goldrush Week One, and the visuals did not disappoint. With several championships on the line—Tatum Paxley vs. Jacy Jayne, Blake Monroe vs. Sol Ruca, and more—fans in attendance got a show with stakes and spectacle.

The show is airing live on The CW Network at 8 PM ET, and streaming internationally on Netflix. With the set revealed, crowd in place, and Goldrush officially underway, WWE’s NXT brand just delivered a strong visual statement from MSG.
