NXT Star’s Backstage Apology For Spoiling Huge Match

Bygones are bygones by the looks of it.

You may have noticed that before his Great American Bash double title victory, a of Keith Lee celebrating with both titles emerged. It was posted Instagram by Indus Sher’s Saurav Gurjar. This past week, Fightful Select learned more about how the situation was handled.

Fightful has learned that at the last set of WWE NXT tapings, a backstage meeting was held and Indus Sher’s Saurav Gurjar apologized for spoiling the results of the title-for-title match before it happened. Gurjar posted a picture of Keith Lee celebrating in the ring with both title belts with confetti falling a week before the title switch aired. We’re told there’s no significant heat on him, and there’s no punishment expected to be handed down, though he and his partner have not been mentioned on TV since. Indus Sher is a personal favorite of Matt Bloom, who has been a big proponent for them in the past.

There was disbelief in Gurjar among those in the company that we spoke to, with most of it being a “why did he think it would be okay to post anything from the tapings, much less that?” type of reaction. He was said to have apologized to Lee directly for spoiling a huge moment for the star.
