This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown is set to emanate from the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the show will focus on the fallout from the SummerSlam premium live event.
Ahead of the show PWInsider is reporting that former NXT Women’s Champion Tatum Paxley is backstage at the event. Paxley has not appeared on NXT since she was defeated by Kelani Jordan on the June 30th episode. She last stepped into the ring at the July 25th NXT live event in Citrus Springs, Florida when she teamed with Shiloh Hill to defeat Tristan Angels & Zaria.
It’s not clear at this point in time if Tatum Paxley will indeed be appearing on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, but she has been rumored for a main roster call up in recent weeks.

– Kevin Owens shakes up SmackDown after epic return
– Chelsea Green returns to SmackDown as Interim WWE Women’s Champion
– Charlotte Flair battles Jade Cargill one-on-one
– What will happen after Randy Orton’s return?
