Just got this Nepenthes Hamata x Glandulifera today and when I got it out of the package I noticed this black spot on the crown of my nepenthes and I'm worried it might be crown rot. Or is it something else?

Contact NE ASAP. Get a new one. Then, I think it's crown rot. If the area is mushy and soft, chop it off until it's all green. (After NE confirms they'll replace it).
Then, hopefully it can activate a lower node. This is never guaranteed, so go to customer service FIRST.

OK. Now scrape all the black off. And keep scraping until no more black. Rub the thing with fungicide if you have any (non sulfur or copper) and then wait for a new node to activate.
