Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for February 19, 2019

Shane McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. He says that there is an exciting main event tonight, then praises Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Aleister Black on their Raw debut last night before announcing that they will be here tonight. Before Shane can talk further about tonight's show, however, The Miz shows up. He apologizes for interrupting, and takes full responsibility for losing the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. He says he cannot shake the guilt because Shane took a chance on being his tag team partner - despite being hesitant - due to his passionate plea. He then apologizes for using Shane. He says he knew Shane could relate to his problems with his father, and knows that Shane feels the same way about his father following Shane's winning of the WWE World Cup and mentioning his dream of being a tag team champion. Miz then talks about his meeting with his own father backstage following their tag team title win, when his own father tell him that he loved him and that he was proud of him for the first time in his life. Miz admits that this was one of the best moments not of his llife, but of his career, and he thanks Shane for that. However, two days ago, he let him down, and while he can't change the past, he can change the future. He knows that Shane can make a rematch despite the era of rematch clauses being over, and says that the fans want a rematch as well. Suddenly, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up. The Usos know they want a rematch despite there being no rematch clause, and tell Shane that if he forgives Miz, then they just might call them the best tag team in the world. However, they say Shane doesn't want the rematch, for Miz is a joke. After enough mockery towards Miz, Shane decides he's had enough and tells The Usos that the rematch is on at Fastlane in Miz's hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Miz proclaims that he and Shane will take back the SmackDown tag team titles.

We get a closer look at Aleister Black.

Aleister Black beats Andrade.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano, who have been watching the last match backstage. Ciampa says some people are seeing them for the first time, but they have exceeded expectations throughout their careers. Tonight, they will show they are the future. Suddenly, The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) shows up, and Cesaro tells them nobody knows or cares who they are and to stay away from SmackDown Live. Ciampa says they are here to take over, and Gargano says they are here to break the bar. The Bar laughs and leaves.

Backstage, Jeff Hardy asks "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles to let bygones be bygones so they can focus on their match. Kofi shows up to extend a literal pancake branch, which they except.

#DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) beat The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro).

We get a closer look at Ricochet.

Kayla Braxton interviews Asuka in the ring. Despite the focus being elsewhere, she is ready for a new challenge after beating Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, and wants to know who is ready for her right now. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville show up, and Mandy advises Asuka to take notes from her, saying that if anyone is ready for Asuka, it is her.

Mandy Rose beats Asuka after feigning an eye injury in order to slam Asuka neck-first into the middle rope and roll her up for a schoolkid pin for the win. During the match, Lacey Evans shows up, distracting both women and Sonya Deville. Lacey walks down the ramp, stops, then walks back up the ramp.

Backstage, Charlotte Flair says that Becky Lynch has done nothing but make things worse for herself, and basically doesn't exist as far as she is concerned. She says that it will be her and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania, which will be the main event because she is in it.

Backstage, Shane tells The Miz that they will get the SmackDown tag team titles back. The Miz tells Shane that his dad will be in the front row for their match at Fastlane.

Ricochet beats Eric Young.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews The New Day. Xavier Woods says that Kofi's big moment has happened over the course of 11 years, and Kofi says that this past week has been so special he feels the fans have his back. After mentioning the recent #Kofimania trend on Twitter, he says that if it weren't for Xavier Woods and Big E, he would not be in this moment right now. He says that he will keep his Elimination Chamber momentum going, then The New Day head to the ring.

The update from Kevin Owens from Raw is replayed.

Before the next match, "The New" Daniel Bryan says small-minded skeptics have oppressed great minds throughout history, and that the ignorant masses tried to will the WWE title off of him, but he has survived. He says he serves a higher purpose to enlighten and educated, even though nobody wants him to do it, and he will educate the people once more by telling his opponent at Fastlane will be none of the men in tonight's main event, for he defeated them all on Sunday.

Kofi Kingston, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy beat "The New" Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton. After the match, Shane McMahon shows up and announces that "The New" Daniel Bryan will defend the WWE Championship against Kofi Kingston at Fastlane.
