Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 22, 2019

At the start of the show, the SmackDown roster is addressed by SmackDown's men's Survivor Series team. Roman Reigns tells everyone that NXT is coming tonight, and that they will not be cowards like King Corbin; instead, they will let NXT in and beat them. King Corbin starts arguing with Roman, but Sasha Banks says she waits for nobody and that her team is ready to take care of business right now.

SmackDown's women's Survivor Series team (Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross, Carmella) shows up. Sasha says this is their ring and their show, and that they are ready to put their differences aside and take care of business, as nobody will attack them from behind. She says that NXT doesn't have the guts to return, and that she knows Raw is here. She calls out Raw's women's team, and Raw's women's team (Charlotte Flair, Sarah Logan, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Natalya) shows up. Charlotte thanks SmackDown for opening the door - even though they would have kicked it down, anyway - and proposes to Sasha they go one-on-one for old times' sake. As the Raw and SmackDown teams argue, NXT's women's team (Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim and a quietly revealed without fanfare Toni Storm) show up. Rhea Ripley states that NXT has guts, and decides to put herself in the proposed match. A series of verbal arguments turns into a brawl between all three sides.



Rhea Ripley beats Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks with a crucifix pin to Charlotte after getting underneath Charlotte during the Figure Eight and pinning her. After the match, Charlotte and Sasha go at it, and Raw and SmackDown's women's teams brawl. All the while, NXT's team makes fun of both teams while Raw is forced to stand down and SmackDown stands tall in the ring.



Backstage, King Corbin tells Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode they will lead by example, and says that when NXT shows up, they will let NXT beat up Roman Reigns and his partners in their six-man tag match so they can do it again themselves. Suddenly, Sami Zayn shows up. Corbin tells Ziggler and Roode that Sami is annoying, and Sami dares Corbin to call him annoying to his face before his entrance music hits.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Bayley. Bayley says she is prepared, as she is the only person to win all of the current women's titles. She says that if "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Bazler shows up, she is ready, as she is too impulsive for her own good. She says that Baszler only attacks when her back is turned, and that she is waiting and ready for her when she is done hiding in the shadows.

Before the next match, Sami Zayn says King Corbin will not show up because she is afraid of him and Shinsuke Nakamura, just like everyone else. He then says the one word Corbin cannot call him is "annoying," and says the one word that does describe him is "stud," for as big of a stud he is, Nakamura is bigger to the point that he has given him a brand new Intercontinental Championship. He and Nakamura then trade belts, saying that this is the only way to take the title off Nakamura, then he and Nakamura make fun of Roderick Strong's name. Suddenly, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O"Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up. As Sami and Nakamura get out of the ring, Adam Cole introduces The Undisputed Era before proclaiming that they will wipe the floor with Raw and SmackDown. Suddenly, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) show up, and Kofi says that The New Day never got a chance to give them a proper goodbye when they last met. He then proposes a match between The New Day and The Undisputed Era to settle the score. The Undisputed Era like the idea of a four-on-two team, but Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis) arrive to back The New Day up.



The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O"Reilly, Roderick Strong) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) and Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis). After the match, Roderick Strong confronts Shinsuke Nakamura on the ramp when they are both attacked by "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Sami Zayn hits Styles with a chair before doing the same to Strong. The rest of The Undisputed Era chases Sami to the back.



After the commercial break, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles says he is the best thing going on in Chicago, Illinois and that he is not going anywhere to prove who The O.C. (Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) really are. As the crowd chants "CM Punk," Styles says that he would wipe the floor with him, then mocks Sami Zayn for hitting him with a steel chair and tells Roderick Strong to enjoy his fifteen minutes of fame before Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel then says he is here to summon "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, and says that while he does not care what goes on in his mind, Bray does not know what goes on in his. He calls out Bray so that they can have a face-to-face meeting before Sunday. He also says that if talking doesn't have fun, then they can fight. As Daniel keeps talking, the lights go out. When they come back on, nothing has happened. Daniel is undeterred, and continues to call Bray out. Instead, he gets The Miz. Miz says that it has become clear that unlike Daniel, he is a professional, and says he had to hold back after being disrespected on his own. Daniel says he doesn't care, but Miz says the feeling is mutual. After stating he hopes that Bray tears him apart, he says that he tried to help Daniel since day one to no avail, then proceeds to slap him in the face.





The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan ends in a no-contest. During the match, the lights go out. When they come back on, they are all red, and The Miz is replaced by "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, who puts the Mandible Claw on Daniel Bryan.



"The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler shows up. Baszler says she has heard what Bayley had to say about her, and that Bayley is getting the message. She then calls Bayley out. She is then attacked from behind by Bayley, starting a brawl. Baszler soon gets the upper hand and puts her in the Kirifuda Clutch as Bayley tries to escape. Bayley escapes the hold after mutiple attempts after pushing Baszler into the ring post, but Baszler is fired up by that and Bayley runs to the back.



King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode beat Roman Reigns, Shorty G and Mustafa Ali. After the match, Roman hits Corbin with the Superman Punch, then the Raw locker room comes down from the crowd. Seth gets in the ring with Roman, and both men brawl before the Raw locker room floods ringside. Suddenly, Braun Strowman and the SmackDown locker room runs in to fight off the Raw Superstars. This is soon followed by Triple H and "The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels leading the entire NXT locker room into the arena in an army Jeep. The entire NXT roster runs towards the ring, starting a massive three-brand brawl. The show ends with a standoff in the ring between Keith Lee and Braun Strowman.
