10 Times WWE Leaked Top Secret Information
6. Keith Lee's Double Title Win
Sometimes, there's no boiled-over frustration nor malice involved in a leak - just sheer, blithering idiocy!
Back in the days when the Wednesday Night War between AEW and NXT was vaguely competitive - i.e. when the old school Pedro Morales sixty-something fans were piqued by the promise of desperate, reactionary booking with little impact on the demo - NXT counter-programmed AEW Fyter Fest 2020 with the Great American Bash. NXT won overall under the promise of a major NXT and North American Title unification match between Adam Cole and Keith Lee.
The second event of a two-week extravaganza was always the plan.
Don't mind that NXT logo hastily sewn on to a prop from 2004; the benevolent WWE simply wanted to give you the authentic experience of the Bash's halcyon days, at which Kenzo Suzuki and Mordecai ascended to mega-stardom by virtue of their wins over Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly respectively.
Keith Lee lifted both belts following a match that is decidedly less easy to be snarky about, but the problem was that, held mid-pandemic - or mid-when-capitalism-gave-half-a-f*ck-about-it - the second night was taped as part of a block, allowing the bubble time to protect itself.
Saurav Gurjar, then of Indus Sher, posted a picture of Lee's celebration on Instagram, which common sense would indicate is a bad idea.
Perhaps, as with catching dives, they don't teach it in the Performance Center.
