WWE Kicks Fans Out Of NXT Tapings?
Spoilers may have led to this attendee being kicked out of WWE's latest NXT tapings.
WWE reportedly removed at least two audience members from its NXT tapings at the Capitol Wrestling Center on Monday (23 August).
This week has seen the promotion going through the process of pre-taping the next three NXT episodes before its next live show on 14 September. Bodyslam.net's Cassidy Haynes has claimed that one of his writers was booted out of the CWC for using their phone, with the person who asked them to leave going as far as taking a picture:-
“Yeah she had a picture of me on her phone and everything ?” - my writer after getting kicked out of tonight’s #wwenxt tapings.

Yep. They sniffed him out lol he told me. “The lady said a producer caught me on camera texting or some s**t and watched me for awhile.”

Haynes went on, revealing that his colleague was told they were kicked out for "potentially being a dirtsheet writer":-
“potentially being a dirtsheet writer” might be the best excuse I’ve ever heard for anyone being kicked out of an event.

In addition to this, Wrestling Headlines' Marc Middleton notes that an anonymous fan was also asked to leave the tapings as venue staff believed they were tweeting spoilers during the show. Said fan (who has attended several shows in the past) was told to go with no prior warning.
Despite WWE's efforts, complete spoilers for Monday's tapings still found their way to the internet.
The promotion was also recording shows at the Capitol Wrestling Center on Tuesday. Whether or not they will be able to avoid spoilers leaking remains to be seen.
