WWE<\/p>\n

An NXT star will be making their full main roster debut on tonight\u2019s July 11 episode of WWE SmackDown on the USA Network.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s SmackDown comes ahead of Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event tomorrow, as well as the Evolution premium live event on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In a newly announced match for SmackDown, there will be a preview for the WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Championship four-way match at Evolution.<\/p>\n

At Evolution, Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez will defend the championship against Raw\u2019s Kairi Sane & Asuka, SmackDown\u2019s Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair, and NXT\u2019s Sol Ruca & Zaria.<\/p>\n

As such, SmackDown will host a four-way between one woman from each of the four teams, that being Perez vs Sane vs Bliss vs Ruca.<\/p>\n

That means Ruca, the current NXT<\/a> Women\u2019s North American Champion, will be making her official WWE main roster debut, as she has yet to wrestle on Raw or SmackDown until tonight.<\/p>\n

She has, however, had a taste of main roster crowds from wrestling on WWE Main Event, in addition to being the current WWE Speed Women\u2019s Champion.<\/p>\n

This also means Ruca will be pulling triple duty over the next three days, as on top of the SmackDown and Evolution matches, she also has a North American Title defense against Izzi Dame at NXT\u2019s Great American Bash, which takes place Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
