Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 6, 2023



LA Knight heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Before LA Knight can say much of anything, The Bloodline (Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) arrives. Paul Heyman says that he has a knack for seeing "the next big thing" and "the next megastar" in wrestling, and that the next big megastar in the business is going to be LA Knight. He says that Knight has earned his respect and admiration, but also his attention and his condolences, for The Bloodline will have to do something about LA Knight getting in their business. LA Knight asks Heyman "Are you done running your fat jowls yet?" He then thanks Heyman for the compliments, then pulls out a receipt and says he didn't buy "any of [his] B.S." Jimmy Uso then tells Knight to shut up and that he is not making it to Fastlane. Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa slowly approach LA Knight before John Cena slides into the ring and stands with Knight. The Bloodline retreats. LA Knight says that if The Bloodline want to act tough, then he and Jimmy Uso can have a match and he can shut his mouth.



Backstage, JD McDonagh is with The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio). When Damien Priest asks why McDonagh is there, Rhea Ripley says it is because he wants him to be there.

Charlotte Flair and Asuka beat Damage CTRL (Bayley and Iyo Sky).



Backstage, Paul Heyman tells Jimmy Uso that Roman Reigns has to authorize things. As Jimmy Uso says that Roman is never around to authorize anything, The Bloodline (Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) run into The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) and JD McDonagh.

Backstage, The Bloodline (Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) and The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) and JD McDonagh have a staredown. Rhea Ripley demands everyone leave so that she and Paul Heyman can have a chat. The room soon clears, and Rhea and Heyman have to call Priest and Solo off, respectively. Rhea then says "Let's talk."



Bobby Lashley beats Rey Mysterio following the distraction from The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who lay out Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro. After the match, officials check on Wilde and del Toro on the outside.



Backstage, Rhea Ripley is still taking with Paul Heyman. Rhea tells Heyman he is a wise man and tells him to make the wise decision, for The Bloodline (Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) and The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) are stronger together. Heyman says he likes the idea and that he will get it authorized with Roman Reigns, which Heyman has to explain to Rhea. Rhea demands Heyman that he acknowledge her, then insists that Heyman will acknowledge her just like Jey Uso acknowledged her on Raw or else they will find out who is stronger between their two parties. Heyman sputters, and Rhea Ripley insists he acknowledge her before allowing Heyman to make his phone call.



We hear from Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre, who say that the curse of the women's tag team titles will curse and that everyone will rise to their feet for them as they live deliciously.



Before the next match, Austin Theory says that he is "The 150 Million Hit Man" and that Dragon Lee's career will last 150 seconds after he experiences "Austin Theory Live."

Dragon Lee beats Austin Theory. Grayson Waller shows up to stand in Theory's corner soon after the start of the match. Near the end of the match, Cameron Grimes shows up and attacks Waller on the outside after Waller gets the cheap shot on Dragon Lee behind the referee's back, giving Dragon Lee the win via a stack-up pinfall attempt.



Backstage, Rhea Ripley is seen talking with Jimmy Uso.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio tells Santos Escobar and Zelina Vega that there is now way that Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro will be able to compete at Fastlane with their six-man tag match on the horizon, and that he will have to make a phone call to ensure a replacement tag partner.



LA Knight beats Jimmy Uso by disqualification after Solo Sikoa attacks him. After the match, John Cena runs into the ring to make the save for LA Knight, then The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) and JD McDonagh show up. Rhea Ripley and Paul Heyman shake hands, with Heyman saying "Authorized!" The Judgment Day, JD McDonagh, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa all get on the apron, then "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up and stands with Cena and Knight. They are soon joined by "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, and the four of them brawl with The Judgment Day and The Bloodline, with Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso taking everyone out. Cena then finds himself solo in the ring with Solo Sikoa, and both men fight in the ring. LA Knight gets in the ring and clotheslines Solo out of the ring, then JD McDonagh gets in the ring only to be utterly decimated.







Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!



This week on The SmackDown LowDown: Asuka (and Iyo Sky)! The Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega)! LA Knight!
