Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for August 29, 2017

Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh) show up to start tonight's show. Jinder says he will show his superior skills when he teams up with Rusev in the main event to take on Randy Orton and "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura. He says that nobody knows what it is like to walk a mile in his shoes, and that he is showning nothing but disrespect throughout America when he should be revered as WWE Champion. He says the jingoistic naysayers have laughed since Nakamura made a fool out of him, but he says he is the best as he is WWE Champion. Jinder wants to make an example out of someone, and The Sings apologize to all of India and to Jinder, saying that it was because of them that Nakamura laid a finger on him. They say they do not deserve Jinder, and ask that they kiss his royal feet as they apologize on behalf of all of India. Suddenly, Nakamura shows up, and the Singhs stand between him and Jinder. Nakamura brushes them aside, and stares down with Jinder before the Singhs go after Nakamura. The situation turns into a 3-on-1 brawl until Randy Orton makes the save for Nakamura and fights them all off, but Rusev suddenly shows up and floors him. Nakamura is then laid out by Jinder and The Singh Brothers.

Next week: Randy Orton vs. "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura! The winner earns a WWE Championship match against Jinder Mahal!

Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin beat The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor).

Baron Corbin is interviewed by Renee Young. He says that he has not squandered anything as far as the Money In The Bank Contract is concerned, and that John Cena ran away from him to go to Raw. He says that he does not live in the past, unlike the WWE Universe, and since "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles is giving him an opportunity to answer his United States Open Challenge, he plans to cash in on that.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up for the United States Open Challenge. Now that Kevin Owens cannot challenge him for the WWE United States Championship for as long as he is United States Champion, the United States Open Challenge is back on, and it starts right now. The challenge is accepted by "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger, but he is soon confronted by Baron Corbin. Corbin shoves Dillinger, but Dillinger shoves Corbin harder. He makes his way to the ring only to be blindsided by Corbin, who then yells at Styles. Dillinger runs into the ring and clotheslines Corbin out of the ring before asking for the bell to the rung, answering the open challenge.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles retains the WWE United States Championship in a short, chaotic match against "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger with the Calf Crusher. After the match, Baron Corbin drags Dillinger out of the ring and attacks him, then gets in the ring to go after Styles only to be kicked back out of it by Styles.

Backstage, Rusev is met by Jinder Mahal in the locker room, who is pleased that the best of India and Bulgaria are teaming up tonight. Rusev tells Jinder Mahal that tonight, it is not about Bulgaria or India; it is about revenge. He also reminds Jinder that they are not friends, as he is it to become WWE Champion. After they win tonight, he is coming after the WWE Championship.

Bobby Roode beats Mike Kanellis.

Aiden English is singing in the ring when Kevin Owens shows up. He tells Aiden English that none of these "uneducated Arkansas hillbillies" do not appreciate his talents, and asks that he leaves the ring so he can take care of business. English leaves. Kevin Owens says that he picked his own special guest referee for his United States title rematch, and yet he still lost due to what happened between his pick for special guest referee, Baron Corbin, and Commissioner Shane McMahon. Owens asks what gives Shane the right to put his hands on Corbin and then replace him as referee like he did. One year ago, he was Universal Champion. A year later, he stands in the ring goldless, screwed by Shane twice. He says that this would never happened on Raw, as Stephanie McMahon would not have done this as Commissioner, and says SmackDown is Shane McMahon's personal playground. Shane McMahon shows up, and Kevin Owens says he is here to make the moment about himself. Shane reminds him of what happened between him and Baron Corbin, and says that he had to do what needed to be done. Owens says Shane screwed him again, but Shane says this conversation is over. He tells Owens to leave the ring, as Aiden English has a match against Sami Zayn. Owens guests on commentary.

Aiden English beats Sami Zayn. During the match, Kevin Owens gets in the ring, removes the referee's shirt and wears it himself. Sami Zayn, not happy about this turn of events, argues with Owens only to be blindsided by English. Owens then hits Sami Zayn with a pop-up powerbomb, and Aiden English gets the win after a fast count by Owens.

Renee Young interviews Commissioner Shane McMahon, who says that the match from earlier has been stricken from the record. Kevin Owens has left, and says he will deal with him.

Dasha Fuentes interviews Dolph Ziggler. He has something planned, but it will take a while before we see what it is. Ziggler says his change comes from having nothing to show for being in WWE for 10 years, and tries to come up with ways to get noticed. He says that if the fans want all flash and no substance, that's what they will get next week.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) after a grabbing of Kofi Kingston's tights. As per pre-match stipulation, The Usos gets to pick the stipulation for the rematch for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

James Ellsworth "interviews" Carmella. As they argue over Ellsworth spoiling Carmella's cash-in plans as well as Ellsworth stealing flowers from a funeral in an attempt to make up for it, Natalya shows up and tells Carmella that she should be glad Ellsworth spoiled her plans, because if she tries to cash in on her, she will make her "the Baron Corbin of the Women's Division." After Natalya tells Carmella she will punish her further in a match next week, Carmella tells Natalya that she made a big mistake and to keep the title shined up for her. After she and Ellsworth leave, Naomi shows up and says that Natalya is on edge for a champion.

It's time for Fashion Files. Breezango are packing up the office when they see their new tech: wireless headphones, a black light, a leather belt and friendship bracelets. We also see that their new shirts glow in the dark, and so so do their boxes, which have glow in the dark arrows on them. The "Two B" sign on the "Two B" board - pinned with pictures of people with both first and last names starting with B, such as Brie Bella, Beau Beverly, Barbara Bush and Buff Bagwell to name a few) has the statement "or not Two B" on it in glow-in-the-dark ink.
