Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for May 12, 2023

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats Edge and Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat Match to advance to the semi-finals of the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament.



Bobby Lashley beats Austin Theory and Sheamus in a Triple Threat Match to advance to the semi-finals of the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament after Sheamus hits Theory with a Brogue Kick as Lashley has Theory in the Hurt Lock.



Backstage, WWE official Adam Pearce is met by Grayson Waller, who wants the winner of tonight's tournament semifinals as the guest of The Grayson Waller Effect next week.



Before the next match, Baron Corbin says he is surprised Cameron Grimes showed up, then tells him he will be flat on his back wishing he was back in NXT after two minutes. Grimes then hits Corbin with the Cave-In for the win.



The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa) heads to the ring. Roman Reigns says that greatness garners respect, then says that there is a lot of talk about royal families in the business, The Bloodline headlined both nights of WrestleMania and will be the only ones to ever do so. He says that the success carried over to WrestleMania even when he was not there, and says that Solo Sikoa stepped up after having swam like a shark in the deep end, as he eliminates problems whenever they pop up. Roman tells Solo Sikoa not to worry about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, as they are not a problem, and says the real problem is The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). Roman displays his disgust for The Usos dedicating a tag team title match to him when he is not in the team and then losing the rematch, saying that they disrespected him and The Bloodline. He then demands that The Usos apologize, and goes so far as to tell them not to listen to the fans before pie facing Jimmy. Jey then has to hold Jimmy back before stating that they apologize and asks for one more shot at the tag titles. Roman says that the tag team titles will come back to The Bloodline, then Paul Heyman says that Roman already has a game plan in hand that Roman and Solo have a shot at the tag titles at Night of Champions. Roman says they will do what they always do and hold it down for The Bloodline, and dedicates their eventual victory to The Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika).





Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Damage CTRL (Bayley, Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai). Bayley blames herself for Iyo Sky's loss at Backlash, but as all great leaders like Roman Reigns do, she will take matters in her own hands as she and Dakota Kai win back the Women's Tag Team Championships. She then tells Kayla to tell Roman that SmackDown belongs to Damage CTRL.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) decide to pick a fight with Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro when Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar show up, with Santos saying it is not their fault that Roman Reigns does not favor them anymore.

Backstage, The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, Butch) are met by Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince), who make fun of the Brutes' intelligence while holding clipboards in their hands. Sheamus says "They'll find out," then the Brutes head out for some pints.



Bianca Belair heads to the ring for her championship celebration to celebrating being "the longest reigning women's champion of the modern era." Before the championship can get underway, Asuka suddenly heads to the ring. She offers to shake Bianca's hand, and both of them shake hands before Asuka spits blue mist into Bianca's face. Bianca is screaming in pain and agony as Asuka blows kisses to the crowd and celebrates.



Backstage in the trainer's room, Bianca Belair is still in a state of panic after Asuka's blue mist attack.
