Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 24, 2021

Becky Lynch heads to the ring to start tonight's show. After a video package replaying what happened last week at Bianca Belair's homecoming, Becky says she has made something of herself in the last year much like how Belair has made something of herself the entire life, yet nobody threw her a party. Becky then says that is okay and that she went to Bianca's homecoming to shake her hand, but Bianca wanted to assert her dominance. She says greatness is made in the mind, not in the body, and said she had no other choice but to embarrass Bianca. Becky says she is "the better man" and that she wanted to give Bianca time to recalibrate after her title shot, but Bianca had to goad her. Suddenly, Bianca Belair shows up. Bianca tells Becky to keep her family out of her mouth, then admits that Becky embarrassed her at SummerSlam and last week before saying it will not happen again next week. Becky says Bianca was not ready for her and that "the EST" is just a catchphrase. Bianca tells Becky that she proved she was "the EST" by lifting her up like it was nothing and accomplishing what Becky did in a quarter of the time while winning an ESPY Award. Becky says Bianca is only succeeding because she showed the world how to be great first, but Bianca says their Extreme Rules match will not end in 26 seconds before proclaiming she will become SmackDown Women's Champion once again. Bianca then offers to shake Becky's hand, but Becky slaps her in the face. Bianca responds by fighting back and reversing the Manhandle Slam with a K.O.D.

Backstage, we hear from Seth Rollins, who says that while he is a patient made, it has been a week since he made an ultimatum to Edge and has gotten no response. He then says that this is okay, for the sound of Edge's silence is defeaning and reveals the truth that Edge is hurt badly and cannot admit that he is the reason that he cannot compete in a WWE ring ever again. He says that while he likes this, that is not good enough, and he is not waiting for an answer anymore. He says that Edge will show up next week, look him in the eye and tell the world that he is not "Edge Light" and superior to him in every way. He also says that Edge will admit that he ended his career.

It's time for Happy Talk. Happy Corbin says his show will not be like "The Kevin Owens Show" where people are broken down and made sad, and that his show is about happiness and joy and putting smiles on people's faces. Corbin brings out his first guest, who he says embodies happiness: himself. Corbin calls himself the happiest person in the world following a wonderful dinner from a chef who knew him from last night and from being rich, in a custom suit and coming to the show in a private jet. Corbin then says that Kevin Owens is one of the toughest people on the WWE roster, yet he beat him with ease, and that it brings him joy to be that powerful. Suddenly, Owens shows up. As Owens approaches the ring, a man in all black attacks Owens, but Owens fights back. The man in black is none other than Riddick Moss, and he and Happy Corbin gang up on Owens and slam him on some ring steps.
