Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 10, 2020

Braun Strowman shows up to start tonight's show. Strowman says that when opportunity knocks on the door, you answer it, and at WrestleMania, he knocked the door off its hinges, took everything Goldberg threw at him and put him down to become WWE Universal Champion. Suddenly, Shinsuke Nakamura shows up. Nakamura says "Knock, knock" in response to Strowman's statement about opportunity, and says that the last time he saw Strowman, he beat him. Strowman tells Nakamura to let him enjoy his night, as he might "knock, knock, knock" the crap out of him. Nakamura tells Strowman that the weak are the meek and that the strong eat. Strowman tells Nakamura he will get these hands later tonight. Suddenly, Cesaro tries to hit Strowman with a sneak attack, but Strowman pushes him out of the ring. When he turns around, Nakamura hits Strowman with a roundhouse kick and retreats.



Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane).



Elias is on the balcony. After thanking everyone for inviting him to their homes tonight, he celebrates his victory against King Corbin at WrestleMania with a song called "Walk With The King."



Dolph Ziggler and Sonya Deville show up, saying that the footage from last week is doctored and that they just want the best for Mandy. Suddenly, Tucker shows up. Tucker says he has some pictures that Ziggler deserve to see, and shows pictures of Otis working out with Mandy Rose on the video screen before stating he and Ziggler have unfinished business after he tried to injure him last week.



In two weeks: the 25th anniversary celebration of Triple H's WWE career!



Dolph Ziggler beats Tucker.



It's time for The Dirt Sheet. The Miz and John Morrison brag about their tag team title victory at WrestleMania, then talk about the rest of WrestleMania, saying most of it is good news before performing their new song "Hey Hey." They are soon interrupted in the middle of the first chorus by The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), who says that Pee Wee Herman has more street cred than Miz and Morrison as they want another shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Miz - who is still not medically cleared - and Morrison leave after a brief argument with The Usos, then The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) show up. Big E says that if one member of each team competed for the titles at WrestleMania, the other members should also have a chance to compete. Kofi then mentions that Big E, Jey Uso and The Miz will be in a Triple Threat Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.



The Forgotten Sons (Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) beat The Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik) in their main roster debut.



Backstage, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross celebrate retaining the women's tag team titles when they are met by Dana Brooke and Carmella, who challenge them for the titles. Alexa and Nikki accept their challenge.



Sasha Banks and Bayley show up. After celebrating outsmarting Paige and keeping the SmackDown Women's Championship around Bayley's waist at WrestleMania, Bayley declares herself and Sasha "the ultimate role models" and tells the rest of the women's division "Screw you." Sasha says that nobody can understand their future and that nobody past, present or future can touch them, Suddenly, Tamina shows up. Bayley and Sasha try to patronizingly congratulate her on her return, but Tamina says it took everyone to eliminate her and tells Bayley to set an example and defend the title against her. Sasha tells Tamina there is a pecking order, and that she cannot just step up and make demands. Bayley then tells Tamina she can have her match if she can beat Sasha. Tamina accepts the challenge, then tells Sasha "Your bestie just screwed you."



Sheamus beats Cal Bloom.



We look back on Jeff Hardy's career in WWE with "Chapter One: The Rise."

Next week: Daniel Bryan vs. Cesaro in a Money In The Bank Qualifier! Naomi vs. Dana Brooke in a Money In The Bank Qualifier! Sonya Deville attempts to clear the air with Mandy Rose!

Braun Strowman beats Shinsuke Nakamura. After the match, Bray Wyatt shows up on the video screen. He says that nobody can see John Cena, then congratulates Braun Strowman on his Universal Championship wins. Suddenly, the lantern speaks to Bray, who says that Strowman turned his back on him. He feels he can forgive him, but everyone else in the Firefly Fun House except for Ramblin' Rabbit feels otherwise. Bray says he will forgive Strowman if he says sorry, but Strowman says he is not in the mood to play games. Bray then says that Strowman's next lesson will be about sharing, and that he has the Universal Championship. He says that since he brought Strowman into WWE, he will have to take him out. Strowman tells Bray that he is ready to let him in any time he wants before mockingly saying goodbye to him.





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