In a recent episode of the WWE After the Bell podcast, WWE NXT commentator Vic Joseph revealed an interesting off-air note following Tuesday’s WWE NXT episode on the USA Network, noting that after the video played at the end of the episode, showcasing the NXT 2.0 logo fading into a new WWE NXT logo, fans stayed and chanted “Black and Gold” for several minutes after the episode had come to an end.
“The roof blew off the place, because at the end of the night, and it’s been on social media, and it’s been all the buzz and everything is still loading, a new logo was shown with the black and gold outline.
After the show, I don’t know if I’m going to get in trouble for this or not, the show went off the air, five of six minutes went on and the crowd was still chanting “Black and Gold”. To give you an idea, the camera crew had enough time to leave and get brought back out, reconnect and get put back in position to film some of the audience and their organic reaction.
I stood up, took my headset off and was like, holy s***. Wade Barrett was even laughing, this was unreal. The amount of love that all of a sudden, it’s hard to describe, I guess Black and Gold means so much to so many.”
