NXT Stars Scheduled for 8/16 WWE SmackDown Tapings

NXT has seen quite a lot of development over the past year as WWE has made it clear they want to treat it as more than just a developmental brand. In fact, a couple of NXT stars are scheduled to be at SmackDown this week.

The August 16th episode of Friday Night SmackDown will be emanating from the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida and there is obviously a ton of excitement for the show for good reason.

According to Cory Hays of PWN, NXT Champion Ethan Page and NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez are scheduled to be at the August 16th edition of Friday Night SmackDown. It is not known what they will be doing at the television taping.

Both Ethan Page and Roxanne Perez have seen great success as the champions of their respective divisions in NXT, so we’ll have to see if they will be given some sort of highlight on SmackDown tonight.

Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of tonight’s show over in our WWE SmackDown coverage hub. It promises to be a memorable episode for many reasons, so we’ll have to wait and see how the episode will turn out.
