5 WWE secrets that were accidentally revealed

#3 Keith Lee’s WWE NXT Championship win

Keith Lee's win was posted on Instagram

On July 1, 2020, Keith Lee’s WWE NXT Championship victory at The Great American Bash was filmed one week before it aired. The man he defeated, Adam Cole, had held the WWE NXT Championship for 403 days.

Due to Cole’s dominance as WWE NXT Champion, it was imperative that news of him losing the title could not be revealed online. Spoilers for WrestleMania 36 (taped two weeks in advance) never got out, and this situation should have been the same.

Unlike WrestleMania, which was filmed at an empty Performance Center, Lee’s win took place in front of WWE NXT Superstars and PC recruits. That meant a lot more people had to keep The Great American Bash match results a secret for an entire week.

Sadly, the secret did not last for very long. In fact, it lasted mere seconds. WWE NXT Superstar Saurav Gurjar, who watched from ringside, posted a picture on his Instagram story of Lee celebrating his victory.

Although Gurjar quickly deleted the post, it was already too late. The screenshot above was sent to Sportskeeda on the night that The Great American Bash was taped. The news quickly spread online and Lee’s big moment was widely known by fans one week before it even aired.
