WWE might have tipped its hand ahead of tonight’s episode of NXT. A glitch on the company’s official website appears to have spoiled the outcome of the NXT Women’s 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 Women’s Champion—even though the match against Tatum Paxley hasn’t 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 tonight’s 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 payoff—especially 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 won’t come as a shock to those who caught the premature update.
