Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for January 21, 2016

The show begins with Chris Jericho. In three short days, he will enter his ninth Royal Rumble match, and he hopes to walk away with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. After a brief recap of what happened earlier this week, Jericho is about to say he will win the Royal Rumble when The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) confront them for destroying Francesca the trombone and showing no remorse for it. They ask Jericho to bow his head along with the WWE Universe to show a moment of silence and respect for Francesca, but Jericho continues to make fun of them. Jericho also says they need better unicorn names, which leads to a "rooty tooty booty" joke. The New Day get in the ring, but Jericho says he's not fighting them because they already have a match against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Dolph Ziggler, who arrive to start off the first match, which happens next.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Dolph Ziggler beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).

Charlotte guests on commentary for the next match.

Becky Lynch beats Alicia Fox with the Disarmher.

It's time for Miz TV. Tonight, The Miz's guests are Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens. Ambrose shows up before The Miz can really get started and talks to himself about Sunday night's match. Miz tells Ambrose to shut up, but Ambrose tells Miz to shut up. When Miz asks him if he can do the show better than him, he says yes. Miz TV becomes Dean TV, and Dean starts talking about everything he's going to do to Kevin Owens on Sunday after saying he plans on "taking Owens on as many rides as he can." He promises to become last man standing and retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Kevin Owens shows up, says he's more of a zoo guy instead of an amusement park guy, and says he will take the Intercontinental Championship back. Ambrose says they don't have to wait; they can have the match right now. Before that can happen, however, Ambrose is attacked from behind by The Miz, who is tired of being interrupted constantly on his own show. He then tells Owens to get in the ring, but Owens hits The Miz with a pop-up power bomb. He almost does the same to Ambrose, but Ambrose counters and forces Owens to retreat. Ambrose keeps his gaze fixed on Owens as he hits Dirty Deeds on Miz, then counts to ten as he continues to stare at him from across the ring.

Bray Wyatt beats Ryback with help from the rest of The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman).

Titus O'Neil beats Stardust.

Renee Young interviews Kalisto. Despite Del Rio being a legend in Mexico, he is still ready, willing and able to take him on. Del Rio then shows up with the rest of The League of Nations (Sheamus, King Barrett, Rusev) and beats Kalisto up.

Before the next match, Roman Reigns says that even with the odds stacked against him, he is still walking out of the Royal Rumble match as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. As for tonight, he really likes his chances against The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, King Barrett, Rusev).

The referee calls for the bell on Roman Reigns vs. The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, King Barrett, Rusev) gets out of control when Barrett and Rusev resort to dirty tacts. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) rush in to attempt to make the save, but the numbers game still catches up to them. Roman Reigns is able to fight back, but he is surrounded on all sides of the ring by The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman). Roman does his best to fight them off, but he ends up being another victim of the Family before Royal Rumble.
