WWE made sure the crowd visuals were set before the NXT Stand & Deliver main event even started.
Ringside News’ H Jenkins, who was at the event live, reported that WWE had someone moving through the crowd handing out Joe Hendry photos ahead of the main event entrances. This wasn’t just about giving fans something to wave around. Fans were also being instructed on how to use them once the cameras went live.
According to Jenkins, people in the crowd were quickly shown how to hold the Joe Hendry photos up so they would be clearly visible on television during the main event entrances. The goal was to make sure the visual looked strong on camera as the match was about to begin.
The moment happened shortly before the entrances for the Stand & Deliver main event, making it clear WWE wanted the crowd presentation ready before the biggest match of the night got underway.
