Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for February 28, 2017

Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan look at the replay of last night's main event. AJ Styles shows up, wanting the match between him and Luke Harper called off so he can headline WrestleMania, but Shane and D-Bry says the match is still on. AJ Styles then proceeds to make fun of Luke Harper, and the camera zooms back to reveal Harper is behind him. Styles eventually turns around, sees Harper and leaves. Harper then stares at Shane and D-Bry, and simply says "Thank you."

It's time for Miz TV with The Miz and Maryse. Tonight's special guest is John Cena, and Miz immediately cuts Cena's microphone, saying Cena doesn't talk until he lets him and that he has cost him so many opportunities and that he manipulates everyone he comes in contact with to make his way to the stop and stay there, keeping people who work ten times harder than Cena - such as himself - below him. Miz says he is not "the other guy," then talks about how he main evented WrestleMania 27 and won only for Cena to manipulate the accomplishment and turn it into nothing because he is jealous of him. He also calls Cena a hypocrite, saying that he read The Rock the riot act about going to Hollywood only to turn around and go to Hollywood himself, and now "we can't see you, Cena." The crowd chants that Cena sold out, and Miz agrees with the crowd. Miz says Cena isn't even Super Cena anymore; instead, he's Barely Decent Cena. Miz says he is now the one doing everything to make SmackDown Live must-see, and when Cena was gifted a WWE Championship match at Royal Rumble and won the title, he took away opportunities to do the same at Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania. Miz says Cena isn't any better than "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, and that he threw Cena out to make him feel the pain he has felt for the past ten years. Cena asks Miz if that's all he's got, and says that Miz has reiterated everything everyone else has said for the last ten years. He says that if he really was manipulating everything, he'd be standing face-to-face with The Undertaker, not The Miz. He then says that it is easy for people like The Miz to blame everything on him, and that he has never asked anyone to buy in to what he says as you can't fake heart. He goes on to say that everyone knows exactly who he is, and then says The Miz is just some guy named Mike who shortened his name on The Real World and jacked The Rock's electricity, Chris Jericho's personality, Ric Flair's Figure Four, Daniel Bryan's personality and offense and everything AJ Styles has said for the past six months. He says The Miz is a dude dressed like a dude playing another dude, and that he is an unoriginal shell of a WWE Superstar. He says that he and The Miz have locked up quite a few times and that the main difference between him and Miz is that Miz blames everyone else while he keeps fighting. He tells The Miz the next time they talk to not bring a knife to a gunfight, as even though he's not The Undertaker, if he presses him again, he'll be a dead man. Maryse stops Cena saying he doesn't leave until she and Miz say so, and says that Cena's biggest problem is his ego, and that the bigger the ego, the smaller the package. She says that Cena doesn't know the meaning of respect and tells him to "respect this" before slapping him. Cena then tells Maryse that she just made the biggest mistake of her life and Nikki Bella rushes into the ring. The Miz and Maryse retreat, and Nikki tells Maryse "You mess with my man? I'm gonna break ya, bitch! Ya hear me?"



Becky Lynch beats Mickie James 2-1 in a two-out-of-three falls match after knocking Alexa Bliss off the apron and reverses a roll-up of a roll-up into a Disarmher.



Luke Harper says he's always been fighting a constant battle with demons in his mind, but he has made peace with them and now they help me. He has new eyes and knows what true evil is. He is not afraid of Bray Wyatt, and when he wins tonight and faces him at WrestleMania, Bray will be very afraid of him.

Bray Wyatt says "may the best man win." He says the people will want to hear what he has to say tonight. He says he will be the one winning at WrestleMania, as will Randy Orton.

Tonight on 205 Live: Neville's Fastlane address!

Renee Young interviews AJ Styles. Styles says that he hopes that the cameras are ready, as he plans to win tonight and continue to the main event of WrestleMania.

AJ Styles beats Luke Harper...almost. Luke Harper has his foot on the bottom rope during the pinfall, and Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up to restart the match immediately. After Harper accidentally superkicks Shane McMahon by accident, AJ Styles takes advantage of the situation to secure the win and become #1 contender for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

Dean Ambrose hits Dirty Deeds on Curt Hawkins, then calls out Baron Corbin after telling him that messing with him is a very bad idea. Corbin appears on the TitanTron, telling him he doesn't come when called He tells Ambrose he cost him the WWE Championship and calls him a speed bump.

Ambrose tells Corbin not to start something he can't finish, and tells him it's not over between them.



Dolph Ziggler beats Apollo Crews in a Chairs Match after a drop toe hold to Crews that sends Crews throat-first into an open chair.



Bray Wyatt shows up. He didn't care who he faced at WrestleMania, as they are both mortals stepping into the ring with a deity. He says AJ Styles will go down like the rest. All of a sudden, then says he comes from hollowed ground and a place where Randy Orton is right now. Randy Orton appears on the TitanTron, and he is in the Wyatt Family shed. He says that this is Bray's world...but not his. He says he joined The Wyatt Family just to stab Bray in the back and take the WWE Championship from him, and underneath the shed he is in, Sister Abigail was put to rest in the ground below. He pulls out a pickaxe, and asks how long the maggots have eaten her flesh. He then says that Bray is now naked, helpless, exposed and ready to explode, then plans to burn Sister Abigail's spirit and kill Bray with it, making him the master and Bray the servant. Orton then tosses away the pickaxe, picks up a gas can and pours the gasoline everywhere, including the rocking chair and Sister Abigail's resting place. He then says the last time Sister Abigail screamed was when she took her last breath. He then pours some more gas outside and lights a match, then burns Sister Abigail's soul to eternal damnation as he sets the shed on fire. Bray is inconsolable.



On Talking Smack, AJ Styles makes it clear he should still be in the main event of WrestleMania as he feels he should be.
