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

Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. Shane says that Lexington, Kentucky bleeds blue...but two Superstars do not. Those two are Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, as they have no respect for anyone on the roster, for his office or for the fans. He looked forward to firing them until General Manager Daniel Bryan had another idea: putting Owens and Sami in a lumberjack where everyone else would extract revenge. He hopes that Daniel would fire them both, but that didn't happen. Shane is sure that Daniel Bryan has his reasons, and brings in Daniel Bryan so he can explain them. Daniel Bryan shows up. He says he understands why Shane thinks Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn should be fired, but having been fired himself, he believes in second chances. He knows that Kevin and Sami made bad decisions, but reminds Shane has made some bad ones, too. Shane agrees with Daniel Bryan, as Kevin Owens has beaten his father mercilessly in the ring and that it was Sami who got involved in his Hell In A Cell Match before betraying the blue brand roster. Daniel Bryan says Kevin and Sami did what they did to get ahead and grab the brass ring. He sees their talent, and if they get fired, they will be on Raw. Shane then says they will be his sister's problem if that happens. Daniel Bryan says he took this job on the pretense that he would not be just his "yes" guy. He asks that if he wants someone who can see the talent of people on the roster, then he is Shane's guy. All he needs is for Shane to trust him so that when he leaves, he can trust his decisions. Shane trusts his decisions, and applauds him for putting Kevin Owens against Randy Orton tonight. He then adds to the idea, and proclaims that Sami Zayn is barred from ringside during the match, which will now be held under no-disqualification rules. Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon then shake hands.

Backstage, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn talk about what goes on every single week. They meet up with General Manager Daniel Bryan, and Sami says Daniel can't agree with Shane on banning him from ringside. Kevin says that Shane tried to fire him, and is now sending him to the gallows. Sami wants Daniel to sort this out, but he asks Sami who he is to make demands and says that they aren't the only ones trying to keep their jobs before saying "no," then "hell no."

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) guest on commentary for the next match...and Big E serves them pancakes and syrup.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable.

Backstage, Charlotte Flair meets Naomi, who asks if she is ready for payback. Charlotte says Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan thought they were clever last week, but they won't be this week. Backstage, Charlotte Flair meets Naomi, who asks if she is ready for payback. Charlotte says Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan thought they were clever last week, but they won't be this week. Natalya says Liv, Ruby and Sarah may be big fish in a small pond, but they are at the bottom of the food chain here. Charlotte says that after tonight, nobody will remember their names.

The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) are next!

The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) quickly The Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley). Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are now known simply as Harper and Rowan, respectively. The Hype Bros are interviewed by Dasha Fuentes after the match. Zack says a year ago, they were top contenders for the blue brand tag titles, but now the landscape has changed, and now they must change. Before he can explain how, Mojo Rawley attacks him from behind. As Mojo attacks Ryder, he tells him that The Hype Bros are dead. Referees have to stop Mojo's aggravated assault on Ryder.

Backstage, Dasha Fuentes interviews Mojo Rawley. When asked why he attacked Zack Ryder, he simply states "That's it. The landscape has changed."

Dasha Fuentes interviews Bobby Roode. He says that when Baron Corbin called him "absent-minded" last week, it was no accident. He says Corbin calls himself the alpha wolf, but he says there is someone smarter and better who will take away his United States title. When that happens, Corbin gets scared, holds on to the US title tightly, and lashes out at anybody who he considers a threat. Before he can say the threat is glorious, Corbin shows up and says if he thinks he is scared, he is delirious. Roode says if he really isn't scared, then there is only one way to prove it: defend the United States title here tonight. Corbin flatly says "no," and walks off.

Jinder Mahal attacks "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles before the next match can begin. Nevertheless, AJ Styles still wants to go through with the next match.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh) after hitting one of the Singh Brothers with a Styles Clash off the top rope down onto the other. After the match, a livid Jinder Mahal puts one of the Singhs in the Khalass. The crowd chants "You still suck!" as he does the same to the other Singh Brother.

Dasha Fuentes interviews Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan. Ruby calls herself and her allies "The Riot Squad," and says they sent a message to the WWE Universe last week. They're not here to make friends or audition for Total Divas; they are here to turn the women's division upside down, and she has two dangerous women on her side. She calls Liv Morgan a firecracker who is about to explode at any moment, and Sarah Logan "the grittiest Southern belle [she] has ever met." Sarah Logan says she comes from a family of hunters. They set a trap, and Natalya, Naomi and Charlotte Flair fell for it. She hopes Natalya, Naomi and Charlotte are ready, for they are about to experience a riot.

The Riott Squad (Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) beat Natalya, Charlotte Flair and Naomi. Ruby Riot's name is now spelled "Ruby Riott." During the match, Natalya leaves Charlotte and Naomi leaves high and dry, and the referee has to call for medical help for Naomi when she is battered against some steel steps. Naomi is taken out on a stretcher after the match.

Randy Orton is interviewed, but he just ignores the microphone and heads straight to the ring.

It's time for Fashion Files: Sawed. Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) are in a setting similar to the Saw movies, as are The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor), and all four men are chained to walls. They suddenly see a tablet with a person saying they have made a mockery of the tag team division. The four of them have one minute to destroy the thing they love the most or else poisonous gas will fill the room. The head of Tully is seen between them all. Konnor destroy Tully's head to find a key. There is no time to free all four men, however, and Konnor and Viktor tell Breezango to free themselves. Breezango get out just before the gas hits The Ascension.

Kevin Owens beats Randy Orton in a no-disqualification match. During the match, Owens and Orton fight their way through the crowd and back onto the stage, and Sami Zayn attacks Orton on the stage with a steel chair despite being banned from ringside. Later on, Owens reverses an RKO into a chop block and hits the frog splash from the top rope to win.
