Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for June 23, 2023

he Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Jey Uso says that family should lift each other up and have each other's backs, not fight each other, and Jimmy tells Jey that he made "the absolute perfect choice." Jey Uso says that family should lift each other up and have each other's backs, not fight each other, and Jimmy tells Jey that he made "the absolute perfect choice." Jimmy says they were raised on respect, and that they were the most dominant tag team when they fell in line, Roman ended up on his island of relevancy alone with Paul Heyman as soon as he told them they were worthless to him. Jey calls Paul Heyman "the biggest snake of them all," and Jimmy asks how Paul Heyman could take orders from someone who would drive a wedge between them when they were raised on love and respect. Jey says that civil war in The Bloodline is on the horizon in London, then he and Jimmy welcome Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa to the Uso Penitentiary.

LA Knight beats Rey Mysterio. After the match, LA Knight tires to attack Rey again, but he rolls out of the ring when Santos Escobar runs in.

Backstage, Ridge Holland walks into Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman's path. When he says something to Solo, Solo almost immediately hits him with the Samoan Spike.

Backstage, Adam Pearce checks on Ridge Holland, and Sheamus tells Pearce that he wants Solo Sikoa. Shortly afterwards, Sheamus shows up on the stage and calls Solo Sikoa out for the fight of his life tonight.

Raquel Rodriguez watches the next match from ringside.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler beat Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn to unify the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships with the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships with simultaneous submission holds. After the match, Ronda calls out Raquel as Raquel is heading up the ramp and asks Raquel what she is doing here in the first place. Raquel says she wants a rematch for the title "we" never lost. Baszler wants to know who "we" is when she and Ronda tore everyone apart, then Liv Morgan shows up for the first time since her injury and steps into the ring with Raquel for a staredown with Ronda and Shayna.

It's time for The Grayson Waller Effect. Tonight's guests are Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince). Pretty Deadly declare that Grayson Waller's show is better than Kevin Owens', and Waller says it is great to have guests with good fashion sense and good banter. Waller addresses Pretty Deadly's tag team title match against Owens and Sami Zayn in London, which Kit Wilson calls "the greatest city" before stating that they are taking their tag team title match seriously. Elton Prince then says that they are not getting respect, especially when Sami stated that them becoming #1 contenders to the tag team titles were a surprise, as they have done it before. He says that Owens and Sami can continue to argue and try to fit two egos in one team while they are on the same page and running the tag team division. Waller says he is not surprised, and that Pretty Deadly were the "iron men" of last week's Gauntlet Match. Kit likes the idea of being "the iron men on SmackDown," and he and Elton then brag about "beating" the rest of the teams in the match. When they mention The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), however, The Street Profits show up and introduce them to "the smoke."

Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) beat The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) after Elton Prince uses the middle rope for leverage while stacking up Montez Ford for the win.

Charlotte Flair beats Lacey Evans with the Figure Eight. After the match, Asuka attacks Charlotte as she still has Lacey in the Figure Eight while also mocking Lacey's salute.

Backstage, WWE official Adam Pearce is met by Bianca Belair, and lets her know that she will be barred from ringside in next week's women's championship match in case Asuka or Charlotte Flair take a shot at her, and that she will get a shot at the WWE Women's Championship. Bianca makes it known to Pearce that she does not exactly trust him in that regard.

Sheamus vs. Solo Sikoa ends when Solo Sikoa knocks Sheamus out with a running hip attack that breaks through the barricade. After the attack, the referee calls for medical help for Sheamus only for Solo Sikoa to attack the EMTs. Suddenly, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up and lay out Solo Sikoa to end the show.
