For those who have asked, WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is not slated to appear on tonight's edition of Smackdown, so he and WWE Champion AJ Styles will not be facing off until the Survivor Series.
Vince McMahon is not backstage at Smackdown. Triple H is not there either due to recovering from his pectoral surgery. Michael Hayes and Kevin Dunn are at the taping.
Zelina Vega has been cleared to return and is in St. Louis for tonight's Smackdown taping.
As we noted last night, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is also in St. Louis.
