Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for November 20, 2018

Charlotte Flair shows up to start tonight's show. Charlotte says she put "the baddest beating" on the "so-called baddest woman on the planet, and she is proud of it. She asks if "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is walking slower, checking her bruises and wanting an apology, as she is not sorry and enjoyed every second of beating her ass. She says she did it for Becky Lynch and for SmackDown Live, and while has has fought with Becky Lynch, she fought for her on Sunday and gave Ronda the beating that Becky would have given Ronda, who she says "bowed down to the Queen." General Manager Paige shows up and says she speaks for SmackDown Live and the fans when she says she enjoyed the beatdown she gave Ronda, and says that Ronda has said she will find her and finish what they started. Charlotte says that if Ronda sticks her nose in the business, she will stick her head in a steel chair and stomp it over and over again, as nobody is going to stop her. Paige says this is why she is here, because Charlotte snapped. Paige tells her she cannot put her hands on a referee, let alone five, and she is left no choice but to fine her $100,000. Suddenly, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) show up. Peyton is staring into space like she is in a trance, and Billie mentions that Peyton is making fun of Charlotte. Billie and Peyton make fun of Charlotte's actions, then say they are Paige's favorites. The IIconics feel like doing something pertaining to the $100,000 fine, but Charlotte gets so annoyed with them that she immediately says that one of them is going to get beat up. This starts an impromptu match.

Charlotte Flair beats Billie Kay. After the match, Charlotte Flair then challenges Peyton Royce to a fight. Peyton is reluctant to get in the ring, and when she finally gets in, she immediately runs out. As the show goes into picture-in-picture mode for the first hour, Peyton gets back in the ring. This leads to another match.

Charlotte Flair beats Peyton Royce by disqualification after Billie Kay gets involved in the match. After the match, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) toss Charlotte out of the ring and try to get a steel chair, but the timekeeper won't let them. They then turn around to a Charlotte Flair Spear, then Charlotte snaps again and smacks them into the announce table. Charlotte then tosses The IIconics around before posing on the announce table.

We hear from Rey Mysterio, who says his eyes have seen a lot, but he has not seen anything like Randy Orton. They go back over a decade, but Orton is now more sadistic than ever. He knows Orton wants to do the same thing to him, but he did not come back to be another of Orton's victims, and while Orton is on the top of his game, so is he.

It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's special guest is Commissioner Shane McMahon. The Miz says it was an honor fighting with Shane McMahon before bringing him out. Shane slowly makes his way to the ring, and The Miz says that Shane's performance on Sunday was nothing short of brilliant as he takes some of the credit for Shane's accomplishments as of late. The Miz then says he has only question for Shane: "Will you team up with me?" He says that he not only saw a Commissioner, but a fighter and a champion. Shane does not know what to make of it, but Miz says that if Shane was as much of a McMahon as he thinks he is, he would team with him in a match right now. Two random wrestlers, The Bryant Brothers - Wayne and Dane - show up, and an impromptu match begins.

The Bryant Brothers (Wayne and Dane Bryant) beat The Miz and Shane McMahon after The Miz insists that Shane get the win for their team, allowing Miz to be distracted and Dane Bryant to win with an inside cradle. (Dane Bryant is portrayed by independent wrestler Eli Everfly, while Wayne is portrayed by independent wrestler “All That” Keita Murray.)

It is announced that Starrcade will take place 7:30 PM on Saturday at the US Bank Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and that a one-hour special presentation will air on WWE Network at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central on Sunday.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) - dressed up as Pilgrims - meet with R-Truth - who is dressed like the Gobbledygooker - backstage.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) - still dressed up as Pilgrims - are in the ring with a Thanksgiving dinner set up in the center, and talk about the very first Thanksgiving Feast Fight, which they will be a part of. Woods says that unlike regular Thanksgiving dinner, you can throw food at people you don't like, and Xavier Woods makes a reference to SmackDown Live's Survivor Series kick-off victory, which Kofi mentions did not count towards the grand total as he says he is thankful for it. Woods says he is thankful for his 2 TB hard drive so he does not have to delete Spider-Man to make room for Red Dead Redemption 2, while Big E says he is thankful for the turkey breasts on the table. Suddenly, The Bar and Big Show show up, and Cesaro verbally bashes the Thanksgiving dinner in the ring before Kofi reminds them that they lost their match while The New Day won at the kick-off.Sheamus says they were not ready for spontaneous urination, and that they will make up for Sunday by winning tonight.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) and Big Show in a Thanksgiving Feast Fight. After the match, Cesaro tries to get the last word in by hitting The New Day with food, but gets clobbered with several dishes' worth.

We hear from Randy Orton, who looks at a Rey Mysterio mask and says some people think it represents culture, pride and respect. To him, it is just cheap polyester and deserves to be destroyed. He also says that Rey Mysterio should be destroyed, and instead of excitement, the fans will be full of shock, horror and disappointment after what he does to Rey.

Asuka and Naomi beat Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville with an Asuka Lock to Sonya Deville.

Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel Bryan says the fans will not understand his explanation, and says he committed an act of betrayal, not last week, but three years ago when he announced his retirement and gave up on his dreams. He then says the difference between he and the fans is that he does not accept failure, and spent hours in a hyperbaric chamber not just to speed up the healing process, but to meditate on his new mantra "Fight for your dreams and your dreams will fight for you." He says it worked, and he came back to the wrestling ring. When he returned, he received the greatest ovation he ever heard, and it was a great moment, but for the fans, it was just a moment and that they were only there for the struggle. He says the fans did not know the rest of the story, especially psychologists telling him to move on, and the only people who moved on were the fans, who chanted for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. He calls the fans "fickle," and says that as the chants for him grew quieter, he stopped fighting. When the referee was down, his dreams took over and did what they were programmed to do: kick Styles in the balls. He says his dreams made him realize that he did not need the fans for anything, and told him that he didn't need to Brock Lesnar to win; instead, he won by allowing Brock Lesnar to beat the weakness out of him. With no weakness, there would be a new emergence out of that match, and the old Daniel Bryan that the fans loved is dead. He declares the Yes! Movement dead, and that all that is left is the new Daniel Bryan, who is WWE Champion. He says the only thing that matters is that he never, ever gives up on his dreams ever again. Daniel Bryan then gets out of the ring and demands that ring announcer Greg Hamilton address him as "The New Daniel Bryan."

R-Truth and Carmella advertise the Black Friday deals taking place all this week on WWEShop.com.

Randy Orton beats Rey Mysterio. After the match, Orton wraps a steel chair around Rey's neck and takes the mask off. A towel covers Rey's face as medical staff checks on Rey.
