Find out which top NXT star is set for an appearance at tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping (July 21) ahead of their big upcoming title match.

According to WRKD Wrestling, there are several notable points ahead of tonight’s show so if you don’t want to be spoiled in any way, turn back now!

Ahead of SmackDown going live on FS1, there are some potential notes about the show. Amongst those being discussed online, an appearance by a top NXT star.

Tiffany Stratton is set to appear at tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping.

Whether or not Stratton will appear on television or rather in a dark match segment, it is not clear but it wouldn’t be unusual for either.

However, in another report also from WRKD Wrestling on Twitter, it is indicated there may be more than one NXT appearance on SmackDown tonight, given that it is taking place in Orlando, Florida.

With NXT’s upcoming premium live event, NXT Great American Bash set for next Sunday July 29, it would be a perfect time to cross promote the NXT Women’s Champion as well as other top stars.

Set to face off in a match against Chase U’s Thea Hail for the NXT Women’s title at the premium live event, she is set to do battle for her title amid a full card of intriguing feuds.

Recently, numerous main roster stars have made appearances on NXT, a move that has boosted overall ratings with the appearances of Seth Rollins and Judgment Day.

Elsewhere set for tonight’s WWE SmackDown, could there be an appearance by a beloved WWE star who has been spotted backstage after over a year away? Click here to read all about that.
