WWE Quietly Updates NXT Title Glitch Ahead of Gold Rush Match

WWE might’ve just tipped its hand—and then tried to cover it up—before tonight’s episode of NXT even hit the air.

Earlier today, Ringside News spotted a possible spoiler on WWE.com: the NXT Women’s Championship history page was already showing Jacy Jayne as the current champion, complete with a bizarre “-516 minutes” reign time. That timestamp would’ve made her win official hours before the match even aired, aligning exactly with the second hour of tonight’s broadcast.

The premature change hinted at a timed backend update set to auto-publish after the match—but something triggered it early, possibly spoiling what was supposed to be a dramatic moment in real time. This caught the attention of Ringside News, who ran a story exposing the spoiler glitch.

In an interesting twist, WWE appeared to take quick action after the article went live. Roughly three hours before the show’s scheduled start time, the website quietly swapped the champion graphic back to Tatum Paxley, correcting the visible mistake. A screenshot captured at that time shows Paxley reinstated as the listed champion, with the timer reset to reflect her ongoing reign.

It’s not the first time WWE’s backend system leaked results early, but it’s yet another reminder of how digital slip-ups can ruin the live drama that NXT thrives on. If this update really came in response to Ringside News’ coverage, it wouldn’t be the first time WWE kept tabs on the site to manage spoilers and control the narrative.

Did you catch the WWE.com glitch before they fixed it? Do you think spoilers like this hurt the NXT product—or does it add to the behind-the-scenes intrigue? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
