Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 21, 2020

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up to start tonight's show. They say that it was hard for them to be missed last week, as The Miz and John Morrison could not stop talking about them on social media and in the ring, but this week, they are here and ready to fight. They also say that they will not be alone, and The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) shows up. The New Day predict that The Usos will be the greatest of all time after winning tag team gold six times, only one time less than The New Day, which makes The New Day better than them. Both teams laugh, then propose going at it one more time. Suddenly, The Miz and John Morrison show up. Miz and Morrison jokingly think of a catchy chant for themselves, and come up with "Miz and Morrison...hey hey...ho ho," which does not catch on, and says everyone will chant it when they win the SmackDown tag team titles at Super Show-Down. Morrison then says that he and Miz will team up with other winners in the form of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, the former of which Morrison states had a good Valentine's Day. Ziggler and Roode show up, and The Usos propose that everyone have their eight-man tag match right now. Ziggler, Roode, Miz and Morrison then surround the ring, but drop off the apron as soon as The New Day and The Usos strike.

Backstage, Drew Gulak meets Daniel Bryan and offers him a PowerPoint Presentation on how to fill "the holes in [his] game," and when he mentions Heath Slater, who is nearby, Slater confronts Daniel, wanting a rematch. Daniel gives it to him, then proposes Gulak help Slater.

Backstage, Tucker meets with Fire and Desire concerning Otis, saying he has never seen him so sad. Mandy has no idea that a text was sent to Otis saying she was running late as Tucker confronts her, and after Tucker leaves, Sonya tells Mandy that she dodged a bullet.



Renee Young has a sit-down interview with Lacey Evans. Lacey says it took her seeing how Bayley and Sasha treated the Women's Divison and her daughter to realize how much of a bully she was herself. Lacey says it is up to her to set the proper example, and with her sights set on Elimination Chamber, she will have to take down five other women to get another shot at Bayley.



Before the next match, Elias performs a song he calls "Sweet Sweet Symphony," where he sings about the next match before introduces Braun Strowman.

Braun Strowman and Elias beat Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura in a Symphony of Destruction Match.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews King Corbin, who says that Super Show-Down will be the end of Roman Reigns' facade as locker room leader, and that Roman has never beaten him one-on-one. Corbin states that he will use the cage in their steel cage match as a weapon against Roman when he beats him, and that he will replace Roman Reigns as the face of SmackDown and that everyone will bow down to him.



Next week: John Cena returns!

It's time for A Moment Of Bliss. Tonight's guests are The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella), who are announced as the newest inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame. Nikki says that being with the fans in their own hometown makes tonight even more special, and that they wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame without them. Brie also considers the announcement taking place on A Moment Of Bliss a plus, what with Alexa making history with her own segment - a first in the Women's Division - then talks about her and Nikki's pregnancies and Nikki's engagement. She calls the WWE Hall of Fame Induction the cherry on top of everything, and Nikki says that she and Brie will see the fans in Tampa for the Hall of Fame Induction. Afterwards, Daniel Bryan shows up with his and Brie's daughter Birdie for his match.

Backstage, Mandy Rose leaves the arena with Dolph Ziggler. Meanwhile, Otis has been spying on them.

We hear from Sheamus, who says that Shorty G and Apollo Crews dared to crawl into the ring and that he sent them running like rats from a sinking ship. He says that SmackDown's problems are far from over, and he must now hunt bigger prey. He says it is time to exterminate every last rat in the locker room, and he will do it in the biggest rat trap of all when he enters the Elimination Chamber. Backstage, Shorty G tells Apollo Crews that last week was not his finest moment and that Sheamus' behavior makes him sick, and that he will not back down. Apollo tells Shorty G he does not need his pep talk and that he will handle Sheamus his way.



Naomi beats Carmella to face Bayley for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship at Super Show-Down. During the match, Bayley - who is watching the match from ringside - is ejected from ringside after getting involved in the match.



Goldberg shows up. Goldberg says it is great to be back, then address "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, saying he is ready. Suddenly, Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron. Goldberg tells Bray he is only here to take the WWE Universal Championship from him, but Bray says that Goldberg does not know him and that he won't be taking anything from him at all. He introduces Goldberg to Abby, Mercy, Huskus and Ramblin' Rabbit. Bray almost smashes Ramblin' Rabbit with a mallet for saying he loves Goldberg, then the lights go out as Bray introduces The Fiend, whom Goldberg knows is right behind him. Goldberg and The Fiend have a staredown, then Goldberg hits The Fiend with a Spear. He is ready to hit him with another one when the lights turn off, then back on, and The Fiend disappears.
