Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 29, 2019

Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. Roman talks about Thanksgiving being about family, good health and happiness and how he only had one of those things this time last year, and thanks the fans for their support over the past year. He also talks about SmackDown winning the men's Survivor Series match on Sunday, and thanks Ali, Shorty G and Braun Strowman for their teamwork. He then brings up King Corbin, calling him "that one dummy on the team." He says that "the dummy" should be thanking him, and brings out King Corbin so he can thank Roman and apologize. Corbin shows up and says he eliminated two people before he betrayed the team and got him eliminated, and accuses Roman of being selfish and having ulterior movies, because he was going to be sole survivor and get the job done. Roman tells him he didn't get the job done, then gives him a chance to do it tonight by facing him in a match. Corbin says Roman does not have him fooled, then says he had a very good Thanksgiving while Roman had a crummy one. Corbin then says he doesn't have to put on a fake smile, eat the same food as Roman, and live in a place where the food is worse than the football. He then tells Roman to fight someone else who won on Sunday - Robert Roode - and get wheeled out on a stretcher.



Roman Reigns beats Robert Roode despite the constant interference and distractions by Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Ziggler attacks Roman, and while Roman fights back, the numbers game catches up in the form of Roode and Corbin. Roode then grabs Corbin's staff and tries to bash his head in, but Roman dodges it and Superman Punches Roode. Roman, seeing that the staff dented the steel chair his head was on, goes after Roode and Spears him through an announce table. Roman then smacks Ziggler over the guardrail with some steel steps as Ziggler confronts him, then tumbles another announce table on top of Roode.



It's time for Firefly Fun House. He says that he is thankful for the WWE Universal Championship, and after thinking that "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt should have a title of his own, he asks the kids if they want to see him face Daniel Bryan again. He then says that he can make Daniel's wish come true and change his life for the better if Daniel lets him in.



We see a silhouette state that SmackDown used to be a land of opportunity with fierce opponents, but now all he sees are a bunch of misfits and cowards. He says that nobody on the brand is like him, and says it is the time to return and break down everyone and everything in his way of making SmackDown his. The silhouette is then revealed to be Sheamus, who has not been seen in months.



Mustafa Ali beats Drew Gulak.



Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis) advertise the Black Friday sale at WWEShop.com.

Sasha Banks and Bayley show up. Sasha says they are not here for a "rah rah" speech, and Sasha says she did not choose her team, because if she did, her team would have won with her eyes closed. Bayley calls the SmackDown women's team's loss an embarrassment, then says SmackDown lost because the entire locker room let her and Sasha down. Sasha says that the weak link of her team is the rest of the team, and looks down on the rest of the team while Bayley says they would have won if Lacey Evans didn't keep sipping her tea. Lacey suddenly shows up and says she is not in the mood for lip from Sasha and Bayley, saying she wouldn't trust them to lead the chicken dance at a garden party. She then says that if Bayley and Sasha want to hide behind excuses for their failures, then it is time for a woman with class, style, confidence and sophistication who wouldn't tap out under pressure to take over the SmackDown women's division. When Lacey makes fun of Bayley tapping out to "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, Sasha confronts Lacey only to eat a Woman's Right.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Daniel Bryan when Bray Wyatt suddenly shows up on the nearby monitor for a remix of the "Muscle Man Dance' song. Daniel Bryan is then seen thinking about whether or not to take Wyatt's challenge.

Before the next match, Mandy Rose makes fun of Nikki Cross' appearance, saying she looks like "a cold plate of Thanksgiving leftovers."

Nikki Cross beats Sonya Deville with an inside cradle. After the match, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville attacks Nikki Cross, but Alexa Bliss runs in and fights them both off.



Backstage, The Miz talks with Daniel Bryan, telling him what effect "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt has had on people he has faced for the worse, and asks Daniel Bryan to ask himself if he feels this is worth it. He asks Daniel Bryan if he knows how important he is not only to SmackDown, but also to his family. Daniel glares at The Miz, and The Miz backs away.

Backstage, Drake Maverick meets with Dana Brooke to kiss her underneath some mistletoe. Dana Brooke is not interested, and then asks if Drake realizes he is married. Suddenly, Elias shows up and says he has returned from a journey, then plays his guitar to sing that he has returned while taking a dig at Drake Maverick.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) show up. Big E talk about his and Kofi Kingston's Thanksgiving, then talk about Black Friday and how they have decided to open for business with an open challenge for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro show up, and Sami says it makes him sick to his stomach when The New Day romanticize "a holiday for the gluttonous masses" that symbolizes "imperialistic evil" while trivializing Black Friday. He then says it is time that the SmackDown tag titles were held by men who can see through the nonsense in the form of Nakamura and Cesaro tonight.

The Ne Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro after Sami Zayn is ejected from the match for attempted interference after attempting to use THe New Day's pancake tray as a weapon.



It is announced that Robert Roode is being medically evaluated as footage from earlier tonight of Robert Roode being taken away on a stretcher is played.

Daniel Bryan shows up. He mentions "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt's challenge as well as what The Miz told him earlier, and says that he felt changed during his match against Wyatt, not because of Wyatt, but because of the fans. He says that the fans' passion and voice reminded him who he should have been this whole time, and while he has said on numerous occasions that the "Yes! Movement" is dead, the fans brought it back to life. Through the fans, Daniel Bryan states that he accepts Wyatt's challenge. Suddenly, Bray Wyatt shows up on the TitanTron. Wyatt says that this energy is exciting, then tells Daniel Bryan tells The Miz is right when he says he will be changed and his mask will be taken off. He then says it is only fair, as he helped build The Firefly Fun House. After asking Daniel if he remembers - as "The Fiend" certainly does - he then introduces a new member of the Firefly Fun House. The arena lights go down, then turn red. The Fiend comes out from underneath the ring and grabs Daniel before putting him in the Mandible Claw before dragging Wyatt into the depths with him and ripping his hair out.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
