Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for November 27, 2018

General Manager Paige is in the ring to start tonight's show to welcome back Becky Lynch. Becky says that she bled, fought and won only to show up at Survivor Series to find out she would not be competing. Now she is putting herself back in the game, and calls out Charlotte Flair, who fought in her place at Survivor Series. Charlotte shows up, and Becky Lynch tells Charlotte she came close to giving her the beating she would have given her, saying that if it was her, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey would not be standing the next night. Becky thinks that Charlotte was channeling her that night, but Charlotte says she was being her and says he was giving Ronda the beating that she deserved, then says she is capable of that because she is genetically superior and will do what it takes to get the job done. Becky says Charlotte went from channeling her dad to channeling her, and calls her "Bootleg Becky," but Charlotte says Nia Jax hit her so hard she went from quirky to delusional and is now trying to ride her coat tails. After telling Nia Jax a queen is easy to spot in the crowd, Charlotte tells Becky Lynch she wants to take her on right now. Paige stops them, saying that she has not seen such desire out of anyone since Becky Lynch, and gives Charlotte her title match against Becky Lynch at TLC, and it will be a TLC Match given their history. As Becky and Charlotte continue to argue, Mandy Rose shows up with Sonya Deville, Zelina Vega and The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) and says that not only what Paige said about desire is an insult, but that any one of them could have done the exact same thing to Rousey. She also says they deserve a title shot, but Paige does not give them the time of day and says that she only gives opportunities to Charlotte and Becky. Naomi shows up with Lana, Asuka and Carmella, and says she could not help but overhear what Mandy has said, and says she agrees and that the Women's roster is full of talent. Becky threatens to beat every woman on the stage up, but Paige stops her and announces that all the women on the stage will be in a battle royal where the winner will be added to Charlotte and Becky's TLC Match.

We look back on Glamarella (Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix) courtesy of KFC's Chicken and Waffles.

In footage from earlier today, The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) tell Big Show that they are better off without him after Cesaro blames him for their loss last week and Big Show punches him out.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro).

Backstage, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) are met by The Miz, who are re-watching Miz's loss from last week and laughing at it. Miz goes on about how he and Commissioner Shane McMahon were fighting for SmackDown Live at Survivor Series, but Kofi reminds him they lost. Miz says they were eliminated match and that they could not have done any better, and says he can beat any one of them right now. He then says he will go to Shane and make a match for tonight. Woods asks what just happened after Miz leaves, then Big E outs himself as a "closet Mariner" by talking about Miz's character in the Marine movies, Jake Carter.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up. Styles that he has been without the WWE Championship for the past 14 days, and those 14 days feel longer than the 371 days that he did have it. He says that he is more bothered with how he has lost than the loss itself. He knew there would be a target on his match, and says he knows what it is like to want something so badly he will do anything to get it. However, he is bothered by Daniel Bryan attacking him to the point that he couldn't compete last week. He watched from home as Daniel Bryan explained his actions, and says it is a lot of "BS" and "trash." He says the old and new Daniel Bryans have the same face and he wants to bash that face in, and he wants to face him right now. Unfortunately, Daniel Bryan is not here and has not been at live events, while he has never missed SmackDown Live or a live event because he is the champ and this is where he belongs. He tells Daniel Bryan to be there at TLC and bring his dreams, his excuses and the WWE Championship, for the championship belongs to him.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rusev ends before it can even begin after Nakamura assaults Rusev with kicks to the back of the neck before the bell rings before hitting the Kinshasa. Referees try to stop Nakamura, but Nakamura simply hits the Kinshasa again.

Everyone on the SmackDown Live roster is on the stage as Michael Cole introduces Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy shows up, then we see a video package of Jeff Hardy in the last 20 years. After the video package, Jeff Hardy thanks the fans and says he can't believe half of the stuff that he has done, then says wrestling has given him a creative outlet to express who he is as he lived the highest of highs and felt the lowest of lows. He says that he is eternally grateful to the fans for sticking with him through all of that, and the fans chant "Thank You, Hardy!" He says he would not be here without his family, and thanks them for being there and making this night possible. He also says this is far from a retirement speech, and he doesn't know the future, and asks him and the fans to see it through together. Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up and congratulates Jeff Hardy before saying having a champagne toast isn't the best idea as he continues to make fun of his past drug use, as he does not believe in weakness or second chances because he did not get his first. He says that despite all the mistakes he has made, Jeff Hardy has allowed himself to be put on a pedestal, and it makes him sick, as there are as many times he has gotten the people off their feet as he has let them down. He says that Jeff's demons still remain, and offers him his hand in case he hits a low point again, saying it won't be painless. Jeff refuses to let Joe rain on his parade and says he still lives in the moment, and challenges Joe to a match right now. Samoa Joe walks away with a smirk on his face instead of taking Jeff Hardy's challenge.

Kofi Kingston beats The Miz after Big E and Xavier Woods stop Miz from cheating to win.

Randy Orton shows up with Rey Mysterio's mask from last week. Orton says people have called his actions against Rey Mysterio last week disrespectful, disgusting and disturbing, but he would call them euphoric. He says he has never understood what the big deal is about Rey's mask. He says he did not bother to learn the history of the mask as he did not care, and while he meant no disrespect to Rey last week, he meant to embarrass and humiliate him and take him down from the pedestal the fans put him on. Orton says that at this stage in Rey's career, Rey is just another victim of the RKO. Suddenly, Rey shows up with his neck in a neck brace, and he slowly approaches the ring until Orton slides out of it. Both men fight, but Orton gets the upper hand and rips the neck brace off before throwing Rey in the ring. Referees run in to try to stop Orton, but Rey fights back and hits the 619. Rey then grabs a steel chair, but Orton gets back up, catches Rey on the rope and hits the draping DDT before tossing Rey into the guardrail, grabbing Rey by the mask, placing the chair under his throat and slamming the legs into the steel steps. Backstage officials show up to stop Orton, and this time, there are too many people between Orton and Rey for Orton to do any more damage.

Commissioner Shane McMahon is backstage near the WWE World Cup trophy when The Miz shows up, asking where Shane was during his match. Miz says they are forever bonded by the WWE World Cup trophy, and that makes them family. He hands the trophy to Shane and tells him to start acting like family.

Asuka wins a battle royal to face Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch for the WWE SmackDown Live Championship in a TLC Match at TLC.
