**UPDATE: WWE has formally announced the replacements for Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark for the August 19 SmackDown**
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion tournament is in full swing, with the final match of the first round set to take place tonight, as Sonya Deville and Natalya face off with NXT stars Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark.
However, it appears as though the match may not be going down as previously expected, and that a different pair from NXT are set to appear on the show.
PWInsider reported earlier today that Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne were set to be present at tonight’s SmackDown taping in Montreal, and that has since been confirmed.
In an update from the previous story, Nikkita Lyons is not present backstage at the show, and Toxic Attraction are set to take their place in the match against Natalya and Sonya on the show.
It is not known if Mandy Rose is also present, or if it will just be Dolin and Jayne appearing on the show. It is also not known if the appearance is one off for the tournament, or if they will be moved up to SmackDown full-time going forward.
