The WWE World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer, is in Cincinnati for the recording of SmackDown tonight, as confirmed by PWInsider Elite. Her presence fuels rumors of a possible surprise appearance on the blue show and possibly a confrontation with Tiffany Stratton to set up their match at Crown Jewel.

Also in the city is Je'Von Evans, an NXT superstar who faced Sami Zayn last week. His inclusion reinforces WWE's strategy of giving more exposure to emerging talent on main shows.

Furthermore, it has been reported that several members of the NXT Tag Team Champions, Darkstate, are also present in Cincinnati. It is not ruled out that they may have some kind of participation, either inside or outside the ring.

The SmackDown show will take place at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, OH. Below you can review the confirmed official card.
