Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for March 4, 2022

We hear from Paul Heyman, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, Sonya Deville, The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik), The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), Ricochet and Sami Zayn regarding tonight's show.



Ricochet beats Sami Zayn to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion after Johnny Knoxville shows up wearing a shirt saying "Sami Zayn Intercontinental Chump" and distracts Sami.



We see some footage from The Pat McAfee Show, where Vince McMahon announces that he will induct The Undertaker into the WWE Hall of Fame before offering Pat McAfee a match at WrestleMania.

Backstage, Sami Zayn loses his cool over losing the Intercontinental Championship before saying that if Johnny Knoxville wants to follow him so much, then he will see him at WrestleMania.

Austin Theory shows up and says that wherever Vince McMahon goes, he goes, then tells Pat McAfee that Vince McMahon set him up by being on his show and is several steps ahead. He says that Vince McMahon does everything for a reason and that Vince knows he is a loudmouth and wants him to shut up, then asks him what he will do when his mouth is wired shut and he will have all his meals through a straw. Austin Theory then walks up to the announce table and tells Pat McAfee that he is his opponent at WrestleMania and that he will beat him to a pulp before slapping him.



Naomi beats Carmella after Sasha Banks takes out Queen Zelina.



Backstage, Happy Corbin talks about his match against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania while cheating to beat Madcap Moss at poker, then talks about his previous WrestleMania moments while continuing to win at poker and bragging he will send McIntyre to a retirement home. Madcap Moss then does an impression of Drew McIntyre as an old man.

We see footage of Rick Boogs and Shinsuke Nakamura hiking through a forest while driving in a Toyota Tundra TRD Pro.

Drew McIntyre beats Jinder Mahal. After the match, Kayla Braxton interviews McIntyre, who says he does not give a damn what Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss and that nobody likes them before asking the fans who want to gouge their eyes out when they see Corbin or Moss on-screen. He says that he will do the world a favor when he beats Corbin at WrestleMania. Backstage, Madcap Moss calls McIntyre backing out of his WrestleMania match "the backdown warrior" to lighten the mood, but it does not work.



The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) attack Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs before the next match, and referees have to break up the brawl. Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman then show up, and they and The Usos head to the ring.Roman Reigns talks about his title vs. title match against Brock Lesnar at Madison Square Garden, then says that he will smash whoever is in his path and send them to the back of the line like he has in the last year-and-a-half. He then says that not everybody wants to see Brock Lesnar make it to WrestleMania, much less be WWE Champion, yet he wants him at WrestleMania so he can hand deliver the WWE Championship to him. After Heyman says that is a spoiler and not a prediction, Roman Reigns asks if he should give the fans a spoiler tonight before saying he calls his shot and delivers every time like Babe Ruth. Roman then gives another spoiler and says that he will smash, stack and pin Brock Lesnar and hold the WWE and Universal Championships over his head while $5 million worth of fireworks go off while Lesnar acknowledges him.



The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik).



WrestleMania 38 is 29 days away!

Big E vs. Sheamus ends before it can begin with Ridge Holland smacks Kofi Kingston with a chair before doing the same to the ATV after Kofi plays the "New Day Rocks" chant with the ATV horn. Afterwards, Sheamus and Ridge drive off on the ATV.



In footage from during the commercial break, Ridge Holland and Sheamus are seen destroying The New Day's (Kofi Kingston and Big E) ATV with sledgehammers.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Johnny Knoxville. Knoxville calls Sami Zayn "a sad, strange little man" and that he was here to remind him he is a chump and that he has put his body through more insane stuff than Sami Zayn and that getting in the ring with him does not scare him. Knoxville accepts Sami's challenge for WrestleMania.

Backstage, Drew McIntyre interrupts Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss' game of darts.

Charlotte Flair guests on commentary for the next match.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey beats Sonya Deville with a cross arm breaker. After the match, Charlotte Flair gets in the ring and Rond Rousey puts her in an ankle lock to end the show.
