One of WWE's biggest stars might be making an appearance on Tuesday's episode of "NXT." PWInsider reports the buzz backstage is that Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes could show up on TV to hype up his scheduled match with NXT Champion Oba Femi. The plan isn't set in stone as of yet.
Rhodes and Femi are scheduled to collide in a non-title singles match at "Saturday Night's Main Event" in Washington. Femi earned the match after pinning Ricky Saints at "NXT Deadline" to reclaim his gold. Femi joins other "NXT" stars such as Je'Von Evans and Sol Ruca on the "Saturday Night's Main Event" card, which will be headlined by John Cena's retirement match against Gunther.

Cody Rhodes' History on NXT
This wouldn't be the first time Rhodes has made his presence felt on the "NXT" brand. In fact, Rhodes was featured in the original incarnation of the brand back in 2010. He mentored Bray Wyatt, who was known as Husky Harris at the time. Rhodes even had a match with MVP on the show at one point.
In 2023, Rhodes returned to "NXT" as a main event player on the main roster. He served as a special guest general manager for one episode. The following year, he appeared on the brand as the Undisputed WWE Champion. "The American Nightmare" had an in-ring segment with Trick Williams, who was the NXT Champion.
Tuesday's episode of WWE's developmental brand will see NXT Women's North American Champion Blake Monroe defend her gold in an open challenge. Former TNA Knockouts World Champions Jordynne Grace and Kelani Jordan will mix it up in singles action. The show will also feature the return of Hank and Tank, as well as the in-ring debut of Shiloh Hill.
