Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 14, 2020

The show starts with A Moment of Bliss. Nikki Cross correctly predicts Alexa Bliss' celebrity crush is Brad Pitt without revealing her own, then Alexa and Nikki introduce tonight's guest: Carmella. Carmella says that she will shock everybody when she beats Bayley to become a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, then mentions that until last week, she and Bayley used to be the best of friends. After pictures of Carmella and Bayley together in happier times are shown on the TitanTron, Carmella says that Bayley has become a completely different person who trashes everyone after Sasha Banks returned, and that Bayley even refuses to acknowledge her. Suddenly, Bayley shows up and says this is about Carmella, not Sasha, and that she has pitied Carmella since NXT, as she saw potential in her and tried to teach her, but she is a loser. She then says that nobody on stage can touch her. Carmella proposes putting her own money where her mouth is and having their title match right here, right now before heading to the ring.

Bayley retains the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Carmella after pinning Carmella's shoulders to the mat during a Code of Silence attempt and using the ropes for leverage. After the match, Bayley lays out Carmella, then Naomi shows up and confronts Bayley. Carmella shoves Bayley into Naomi, then she and Naomi fend Bayley off.

Hulk Hogan is interviewed via satellite. He says that the nWo being reunited for the WWE Hall of Fame is strong and "4 Lyfe," and says he knows the power of both Goldberg and "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and that Bray should try to survive Goldberg. Bray Wyatt then interrupts the satellite feed nWo-style, saying that he has been following Hogan's advice before making a "Too Sweet" joke with Huskus the Pig Boy. Hogan tells Bray that Goldberg will be no joke, and wishes him luck. Bray says he does not need luck, as he has The Fiend, and says there is always room for one more. Hogan tells Bray he will see him in Tampa, Florida.

We look back on The Rock's appearance on the February 14, 2011 episode of Raw, which was the first appearance of The Rock in seven years.

Cesaro and Sami Zayn are in the ring. Sami Zayn states they are holding a protest concert, stating that they and Shinsuke Nakamura are victims at the hands of Elias, Braun Strowman and WWE. They are about to play when Elias shows up. Elias says that he knows that Sami is trying to make his name off of him, but Sami asks Elias who he thinks he is interrupting him. Elias states he is staging a counter-protest, and Sami asks security to let him into the ring. Sami states that he wants Elias to hear his song, as a lot of it has to do with him. It is not long before the fans loudly chant for Elias as well as for cowbell after Cesaro goes overboard on the cowbell. Cesaro teases playing the cowbell only to throw it to the side. Even as Sami plays the ukelele, the crowd continues to loudly cheer for Elias, and the concert soon turns into a 2-on-1 brawl that sees Braun Strowman march to the ring. Strowman bowls over security while chasing down Sami Zayn, and when a member of security attacks Strowman to no effect, Strowman and Elias toss him over the top rope after Strowman chases him into the ring.
