PWInsider reports that NXT stars Austin Theory, Odyssey Jones and Bronson Rechsteiner (the son of Rick Steiner) are backstage at SmackDown.
In a tweet, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightul noted that Rechsteiner’s first name has been changed to “Rex”
This does not mean that they will be appearing on the show and it’s more likely that they will not be appearing.
Riddick Moss, who has been out of action since 2020 with an ACL tear, is also backstage.
PWInsider also reports that Sasha Banks is backstage. Banks was also backstage last week and is set to return to action soon.
Last Sunday, Banks posted a cryptic tweet that seemed to point to her return for next week’s show so fans might not see her on tonight’s broadcast.
We will provide more details as they become available.
