Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for April 25, 2017

Renee Young interviews "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura. Dolph Ziggler interrupts before the interview can even start, and says if Shinsuke wants to play interview, they'll play interview. Ziggler doesn't give Nakamura much of a chance to speak, and says Nakamura is really Michael Jackson, who really disappeared into obscurity and came back as Shinsuke Nakamura, which means "petty, pathetic, overrated freak." Nakamura takes the microphone away, turns the tables by asking Ziggler what his problem is and calling Ziggler a jackass. Ziggler kicks Nakamura in the gut, but Nakamura replies with an exploder suplex, forcing Ziggler to retreat.

Kevin Owens guests on commentary for the next match.

AJ Styles beats Baron Corbin with a roll-up despite interference from Kevin Owens. Owens and Corbin attack Styles after the match, but Sami Zayn runs in. Owens retreats, and Corbin eventually ends up eating a Helluva Kick. Owens then runs back in and hits Sami Zayn with a pop-up powerbomb.

Dasha Fuentes interviews Charlotte. She says gold runs through her veins, and that she needs it to exist. Tonight, she will complete "the drive for five" and prove she is the best WWE Superstar in history.

We see footage from Rusev from earlier today, stating that he hates SmackDown Live's management and the Superstar Shake-Up. Unless he is given a championship match at Money In The Bank, he will pack his bags and go back home to Bulgaria.

Dasha Fuentes interviews Becky Lynch. She isn't the biggest fan of Charlotte due to what has happened between them on main roster. Carmella, Natalya, James Ellsworth and Tamina show up, wanting to know where Becky Lynch stands on Charlotte, and tell her to choose wisely.

Randy Orton beats Erick Rowan in a no-disqualification match. After the match, Orton says he doesn't exactly know what a House of Horrors Match is, but he'll find out Sunday when he makes it Bray Wyatt's hell. Jinder Mahal shows up, saying Orton is overlooking and disrespecting and that he is the real threat to the WWE Championship as he has more talent, culture and class than anyone else in the arena. He says Orton overlooks him due to how Jinder looks as well as due to arrogance and lack of tolerance, and that he will bring the WWE Championship back to his people, who he will address in Punjabi. Jinder tries to fight Orton, and Orton gets the upper hand until The Bollywood Boyz (Harv and Gurv Sihra) pin Orton down. After the beating to Orton, Jinder lifts the WWE Championship over his head.

We see Lana dance in another vignette.

During the break, Jinder Mahal and The Bollywood Boyz (Harv and Gurv Sihra) are seen leaving in a Hummer limousine with the WWE Championship.
