WWE NXT Promo Draws Backlash Over Alleged AI Use

TKO president Mark Shapiro recently confirmed that Nick Khan and Triple H have incorporated AI into WWE’s creative process, and wrestling fans are now spotting the technology in vignettes and promo packages. An earlier El Grande Americano clip raised eyebrows last year, but this week’s NXT vignette allegedly featuring Sol Ruca and Zaria has prompted even stronger accusations that AI is being used in broadcast production.

Viewers highlighted uncanny-valley close-ups and likeness issues—most notably that Sol Ruca’s on-screen appearance didn’t match her real-life features—as signs the segment may have been AI-generated. Social media backlash suggests many fans feel WWE is rushing AI into television content before the tech can convincingly replicate talent.
