Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for November 8, 2016

It is announced at the top of the pre-show that The Undertaker returns to SmackDown Live next week for SmackDown Live 900.

Earlier today, Alexa Bliss said she couldn't wait to get to Glasgow, Scotland, UK and beat Becky Lynch for the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion to prove that Becky is a loser as she has always said. She concludes by saying that all the WWE Universe needs is her.



It has been announced via Shane McMahon's Twitter that Edge will be on next week's SmackDown Live for SmackDown Live 900.

Dasha Fuentes reports from Glasgow, Scotland, UK during the pre-show. The men's Survivor Series match is mentioned, and it is questioned whether or not AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose will get along during the match and if Bray Wyatt still has any control over Braun Strowman despite both men being on different brands. Curt Hawkins is also complaining that he hasn't had a proper debut yet in WWE.

Becky Lynch was interviewed earlier today. She is excited to appear in Glasgow, Scotland, UK as the SmackDown Women's champ, and she has every intention of retaining as she is not scared of Alexa Bliss.



AJ Styles shows up to start tonight's show. He is no mood for the WWE Universe's cheers, boos, tweets or opinions. He says that Dean Ambrose cheated to get the win against him last week to get a shot at the World title, and blames James Ellsworth for his loss. He cannot have any physical contact with Ambrose until after Survivor Series and says he doesn't need his help to win that night. As he says that it is time to bring Team Raw down at Survivor Series, Baron Corbin shows up and says that he'll deliver, but not for the team, after AJ Styles says he knows that Corbin will deliver. Suddenly, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Randy Orton) show up, as does Dean Ambrose, who brings James Ellsworth out with him. AJ Styles tells Dean Ambrose to get Ellsworth out of the ring. Ambrose tells Styles he'll have to go through him. Styles says they may be partners at Survivor Series, but right now he's outnumbered. Baron Corbin leaves, but The Wyatt Family jumps in the rng to even the odds. Shane McMahon shows up, and tells Team Blue to settle their differences if they want to beat Team Raw. He also asks them to harness the energy of James Ellsworth and focus as a team if they want a clean sweep. It is then announced that James Ellsworth is Team Blue's official mascot, then it is announced that the new Wyatt Family will take on Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin and James Ellsworth.



Baron Corbin tells Shane McMahon he's not interested in taking part in tonight's six-man tag, saying he's not interesting in sticking his neck out for Dean Ambrose or James Ellsworth. Shane McMahon then puts Baron Corbin a singles match against Kalisto, who is now back from injury.

Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) show up with a new "fashion police" gimmick before the next match.

Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) beat The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) to take the last slot on Team Blue for the Traditional Survivor Series tag division match.



Nikki Bella guests on commentary for the next match.

Naomi beats Natalya with an inside cradle after Natalya tries in vain to stop Nikki Bella and Carmella from going at each others' throats outside of the ring at the risk of a count-out loss.



James Ellsworth and Dean Ambrose say they don't need Baron Corbin, but his new team name of "James Dean" fails to stick. General Manager Daniel Bryan shows up and tells them they have a new tag team partner: Kane. Kane tells Ellsworth not to tag in tonight.

Baron Corbin vs. Kalisto ends before it can begin when Corbin slips off the apron and hurts his leg. As referees check on Corbin, Kalisto injures Corbin's hurt leg further with a frog splash from the top rope.



It is announced via a backstage meeting between Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan that Baron Corbin is out of the Traditional 5-on-5 Men's Survivor Series Match.

Becky Lynch retains the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Alexa Bliss with the Disarmher despite Alexa Bliss placing her foot on the bottom rope.



Backstage, Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan agree on going to next week's Raw. The Miz and Maryse show up, and Maryse is upset that Dolph Ziggler is defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn. Not only does Daniel Bryan gives The Miz a chance to fight for the title next week - which Maryse accepts on The Miz's behalf - but he also announces that The Brian Kendrick will be defending the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at Survivor Series against Kalisto. If Kalisto wins the Cruiserweight Championship, the entire Cruiserweight Division will move to SmackDown Live.



Curt Hawkins beats Apollo Crews with an Oklahoma Roll.

After the match, Wyatt, Orton and AJ Styles are about to attack Dean when Shane McMahon shows up to stop the attack in its track. Daniel Bryan shows up and announces that the new fifth men for the Traditional 5-on-5 Men's Survivor Series Match: Shane McMahon. Shane McMahon accepts the position to the delight of the WWE Universe.





Alexa Bliss barges onto Talking Smack, saying she was robbed of the Women's Championship as her foot was on the bottom rope and that Daniel Bryan should fix this. Daniel Bryan and Renee Young agree that Alexa Bliss has a point.



On Talking Smack, Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) show up and hand out "fashion" violation tickets to Daniel Bryan and Renee Young before calling the Raw tag division horribly dressed. They consider themselves "the seargents of Team SmackDown" at Survivor Series.

On Talking Smack, The Miz and Maryse show up, and Maryse says she can't understand why The Miz cannot get any opportunities on SmackDown Live, and demands a trade from the blue brand as she says that Daniel Bryan is doing a bad job. All the while, The Miz whispers into Maryse's ear every time he speaks.

Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!
