Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 30, 2020

Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up to start tonight's show. Jey Uso is already in the ring. Jey Uso grabs the microphone from Paul Heyman and tells Roman Reigns he did not beat him and did not make him say he quit, but Roman Reigns reminds him that he did quit and tells him to take the oath and fall in love. Jey Uso says that what Roman Reigns did was "a snake move" and that he cannot respect him after using the only person he would say "I quit" for, but Roman says these are things you have to do to be Universal Champion and the face of WWE. Roman tells Jey Uso that the consequences are real and says that the entire family from the oldest to the youngest is behind him, and tells Jey to either fall in line or lose his place in the family. Roman asks Jey what he can do in his current predicament, and Jey says "I hate you! Why you gotta do me like that?" Roman says that may be the case, but he loves Jey and always has, and tells him he will fall in line by the end of the night. Jey is left crying in the middle of the ring.

Kevin Owens beats Dolph Ziggler to qualify for the SmackDown men's Survivor Series team. During the match, Robert Roode is caught getting physically involved in the match on the outside and is ejected.

Backstage, Natalya talks with Adam Pearce about how the SmackDown women's Survivor Series team is being set-up. Billie Kay tries to get on the team, but Natalya is not having it. Bianca Belair also shows up, wanting to be on the team. After all three argue, Adam Pearce puts them all in a Triple Threat Match where the winner is the first member of the team.

In footage from earlier today, Corey Graves interviews Lars Sullivan, who takes exception to being called "The Freak" and has done so throughout his life. He talks about a time when he was a boy when two brothers made fun of him and called him "a freak show," hoping that they would show some kindness, but they did not; instead, everyone laughed. Sullivan then laughs and says that 20 minutes later, the laughing stopped and the screaming continued for hours, and he wasn't allowed back in school after that. As for what he wants to accomplish in WWE, he wants to unleash a lifetime of pain and humiliation to anyone who gets in his way and make the entire world his personal playground and personal Hell on Earth.

Backstage, Aalyah tells Murphy that her mother has been more open-minded, but her father and brother Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio don't want to even talk about him. Murphy says he is not the same person, and that he will apologize to Rey and Dominik in front of the world tonight.

Bianca Belair beats Billie Kay and Natalya in a Triple Threat Match to qualify for the SmackDown women's Survivor Series team.

We hear from Carmella, who says there is a difference between what the worlds wants you to be and who you really are. Carmella says she is "that woman" as she gets some champagne, and says she calls the shots, gives the orders, makes the rules and does whatever it takes to get ahead. She says that next week, the whole world will know why she is untouchable.

Breast cancer survivor Chelsea Gillum is on the Thunderdome screens tonight as WWE talks about Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Aalyah Mysterio and Murphy show up. Murphy says he knows why Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio despise him, and while he has done terrible things, he is not that same person, and he needs to apologize to them face-to-face as a man. When Murphy calls Rey and Dominik to the ring, Seth Rollins shows up instead. Rollins says that Rey and Dominik are never going to forgive Murphy, accept him as he is or accept whatever is going between Murphy and Aalyah. He then says that he will always be more willing to accept Murphy is and forgive him for what he has done, as there is a place for all of them in the greater good, as he also accepts Aalyah. Rollins says he is not the bad guy in all of this and that Rey has forced Aalyah's hand to the point that he is controlling her and her brother Dominik is becoming a coward due to all the attention she is getting. Suddenly, Rollins is attacked by Dominik, and Murphy pulls Dominik off Rollins to attack Rollins. Dominik and Murphy brawl, and Rey shows up to attack Murphy with Dominik. Aalyah steps in and stop Rey. Aalyah says that she will not go with Rey Mysterio, and that she loves Murphy. Rey and Dominik leave while Aalyah stays with Murphy, and Aalyah and Murphy kiss. Rollins is astounded at the sight of this, while Rey and Dominik are infuriated.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Daniel Bryan, who says that Jey Uso has taken Roman Reigns to the limit and that he is preparing for "the best Jey Uso." He says that whoever wins between them tonight is best for Survivor Series.

Before the next match, Montez Ford says he and Angelo Dawkins have respect for The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods), and that imitation is the sincerest form of flatter, but at Survivor Series, they are taking the torch.

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Backstage, Sami Zayn says that it is perfect he is representing SmackDown and the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series, and while he is not treated by WWE as such, he is a champion of the people and the people know he fights for what is right. He says that Lashley only represents one country with his title and that the Intercontinental Championship will always be better than the United States Championship.

Sasha Banks shows up. She says not to talk the talk unless you can walk the walk, and says she did what she said she would do to Bayley at Hell In A Cell and took the SmackDown Women's Championship from her. She thanks Bayley for stabbing her in the back, as it ended an era, and says she thought Bayley was her best friend and that they were supposed to take over WWE together, but after Bayley betrayed her, she realized she was unstoppable. As Sasha says that she is going on to Survivor Series to prove she is the best of the best, Bayley shows up and tells Sasha that while she can win a championship, she cannot hang on to one like she could. Bayley says that instead of attacking her in the ring after all she put her through, she will do her a favor, as everyone knows that Sasha cannot beat Asuka without her in her corner, and challenges her to a match for the SmackDown Women's Championship next week. Bayley tells Sasha to enjoy her reign, as next week, it will end. Sasha tells Bayley to bring all she has, "as backstabbing bitches never win."

We get a sneak peek at "30 Days of the Deadman" on the WWE Network.

Jey Uso beats Daniel Bryan to qualify for the SmackDown men's Survivor Series team. During the match, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up to watch the match from the ramp. After the match, Jey Uso tells Roman Reigns "I'm with you. You're the head of the table." Roman looks at Daniel Bryan as Bryan gets up, and Jey Uso superkicks Daniel before hitting him with another Uso Splash. Jey Uso then, at Roman's behest, attacks Daniel Bryan again at ringside and throws him into the steel steps before clearing out the announce table and putting Daniel Bryan through it with an Uso Splash from the top rope. Jey then continues to pound on Daniel Bryan to end the show.
