A change has been made to the lineup for WWE’s Women’s Tag Team title tournament.

The first round of the tournament was supposed to conclude with NXT’s Zoey Stark & Nikkita Lyons facing Natalya & Sonya Deville on SmackDown tonight, but PWInsider reports that Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne) will instead be facing Natalya & Deville in the match. PWInsider wrote that Lyons isn’t at SmackDown tonight.

On the latest edition of the Bryan & Vinny Show, Bryan Alvarez noted that he was told Stark was injured during her match against NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose at Heatwave this past Tuesday. Alvarez said he didn’t know how serious Stark’s injury was or how long she would be out of action, but he believed Stark & Lyons were out of the WWE Women’s Tag Team title tournament.

Dolin, Jayne, and Rose are all members of Toxic Attraction in NXT.

The winner of tonight’s tournament match will advance to face Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah in the semifinals. IYO SKY & Dakota Kai vs. Asuka & Alexa Bliss is the semifinal match on the other side of the bracket.

Tonight’s SmackDown is being held at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The show will feature a face-to-face segment with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and his Clash at the Castle challenger Drew McIntyre.
