Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for January 20, 2023
The show starts with The Bloodline making it to the arena. The Usos do their handshake with Sami Zayn, but when Sami goes for a fist bump from Roman Reigns, Roman leaves him hanging, much to Sami's surprise.
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre beat The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) to advance to the semi-finals of the SmackDown Tag Team Contender's Tournament.
Backstage, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman check on things when Sami Zayn asks for some of Roman's time. Sami asks about the frosty greeting from earlier, and Roman says that Sami is covering things up and tells him to set it straight. Sami admits that he feels a bit slighted after last week's match with Kevin Owens and says that he did not know the plan, but he has put all that behind him. Roman tells Sami to leave, as he does not want to hear Owens' name and feels he does not need to run anything by Sami Zayn.
We hear from Raquel Rodriguez, who says that everything is bigger in Texas and that she is making the women's Royal Rumble the biggest moment of her career, and she is counting down the time until she wins the match and main events WrestleMania in front of friends and family.
Before the next match, LA Knight says Bray Wyatt cannot decide if he is or is not Uncle Howdy, then says that he can tell Bray Wyatt exactly who he is. He then says that he will make Bray Wyatt think that he should not have come back, because it is his game, and that he will end Bray Wyatt whether it is pitch black or in daylight.
LA Knight quickly beats Brent Jones despite the mind games on the TitanTron by Bray Wyatt. After the match, we see the Firefly Fun House, where the puppets suddenly come back to life and Bray Wyatt is back in his kids' show gimmick. Bray Wyatt says he has missed everyone and that he cannot wait to have friends with his friends once again. Rambling Rabbit admits he is cool with LA Knight and that he is scared of the dark. Bray asks who would name their kid "LA Knight," then tells Rambling Rabbit that it is normal to be afraid of the dark, as there are things in the dark that want to eat him, then says LA Knight should be scared of the dark. Uncle Howdy's image then appears on the old television, with Howdy saying "I told you so" and "All you need is a little push." Bray Wyatt then says he hopes LA Knight understands that he is the one who opened the door and that whatever comes out of it is his problem.
Hit Row (Top Dolla and Ashante "Thee" Adonis) beat Los Lotharios (Humberto Garcia and Angel Garza) to advance to the semi-finals of the SmackDown Tag Team Contender's Tournament after Adonis distracts the referee and B-Fab distracts Humberto.
We hear from Brawn Strowman, who says that he has made a career out of chucking bodies around and that the men's Royal Rumble was made for him, and that anyone who gets in his way will get these hands.
Charlotte Flair heads to the ring. Charlotte says that Sonya Deville has a real problem with her, and tells Sonya that if she has a problem with her, she can say it straight to her face. Sonya shows up and says she only cares about what she deserves, which is a title opportunity, and says Charlotte thinks she is unworthy. She says that if everyone got off their high horse, they would realize she is a star every time she heads to the ring and that people need to shut up and listen every time she speaks. Sonya says that it took six people to rip her off of Charlotte before asking Charlotte how arrogant she is. Charlotte says she has always told Sonya she is a star, then calls Sonya out for saying the rest of the division is not before saying Sonya tapped out. She then tells Sonya to focus on the women's Royal Rumble, then says that if Sonya wants to fight her, she will fight her tonight. Sonya declines, saying there is no reason for her to do it unless there is something in it for her, and dares Charlotte to put the SmackDown women's title on the line. WWE official Adam Pearce shows up to address Sonya, and as soon as he does this, Sonya attacks Charlotte from behind.
Backstage, Roman Reigns talks with Paul Heyman. Heyman tells Reigns that he has always supported the visions for the island of relevancy, and asks Roman to consider that when it comes to Sami Zayn, it is better to have him in the castle "pissing out than pissing in."
We see a vignette for Lacey Evans.
Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci) beat The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch) to advance to the semi-finals of the SmackDown Tag Team Contender's Tournament.
Backstage, Sami Zayn is met by Paul Heyman, who tells him that Roman Reigns would like to see him now.
We hear from "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, who tells the fans to imagine being in the Royal Rumble while injured. She says the women's division should stay away from her, because she will not just eliminate them, but tear them apart limb by limb.
We see a video package celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first episode of Raw.
We hear from Karrion Kross and Scarlett. Kross says that in one week, he will step into the ring with Rey Mysterio. He says that normally, he gets really amped up before a fight, but this time, not so much. He says Rey cannot figure out whether to be a family man or the greatest of all time, and that he cannot be both. He says that he will take Rey out followed by everyone in the men's Royal Rumble match. Kross then says time is running out for everyone.
Zelina Vega guests on commentary for the next match (and declares for the women's Royal Rumble match).
Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro) beat Maximum Male Models (Mace and Mansoor) to advance to the semi-finals of the SmackDown Tag Team Contender's Tournament.
Backstage, Sami Zayn meets with Roman Reigns again. Roman says it is no secret that he has a temper, and that he puts people in their place to counsel that anger. He says that he did not hear Sami Zayn and that Sami just wanted communication. He admits that Sami is a perfectionist and concentrates about the details, and says that one does not become the greatest without focusing on detail. Sami thanks Roman for understanding, and Roman says that this is on him. Roman says he expects the same love and loyalty that he gives out, but Sami reminds Roman that he is the head of the table and that there is nothing without him, and tells Roman that he will put what is best for The Bloodline first. He asks Roman to tell him what to do, and that he will do it. Roman asks Sami to find The Usos, find out that the SUVs are in place and that the private jets are ready to go while he, Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman head to the ring for the contract signing. Sami says it is done and thanks Roman. Roman says he owes Sami a fist bump, and gives him one.
Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa ahead to the ring for the contract signing for his match against Kevin Owens for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship. WWE official Adam Pearce oversees the contract signing. All of a sudden, Kevin Owens tosses Solo Sikoa out of the ring from behind and hits Roman Reigns with a stunner. The Usos show up, but Owens fends them off as well. Owens then gets back in the ring and puts Roman Reigns through the table in the ring with a pop-up powerbomb, much to the horror of Paul Heyman. Owens then approaches Heyman, takes the contract from him and signs it. Sami Zayn then shows up. Owens smiles and tosses the contact to him, then flees through the crowd to end the show.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 28, 2022
Backstage, Sami Zayn has a word with Jey Uso, who tells him that it is "all hands on deck" tonight and that Roman Reigns needs to see their hands raised in victory when he makes it to the arena. Jey Uso is happy to oblige.
The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch) beat Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa with an inside cradle from Butch to Sami Zayn after Jey Uso pulls Sami Zayn out of the ring as Sami is about to avoid a top rope move, causing an argument between Jey and Sami that Solo has to stand in between until Ridge Holland takes out Jey and Solo. Sami gets back in the ring, but Butch rolls him up for an inside cradle for the pin and the win. After the match, Sami, Solo and even Jimmy Uso get on Jey's case for costing them the match, then Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up. After the commercial break, Roman Reigns says that people are going to act like kids, then they will be treated like kids, then says that he wants what is going laid out on the table and fixed right now. Sami Zayn admits that there is a communication breakdown as of late and that it is specifically with Jey, and while he likes Jey and has tried to get along with him, Jey has a problem with him and he wants it to stop. Sami Zayn apologizes to Jey Uso for whatever he did and asks to bury the hatchet before offering to shake his hand. Jey hesitates, then pulls out a microphone and tells him to get his hand out of his face. Jey tells Sami that he does not like him, his hair, his face, his "Honorary Uce" T-shirt or him being around his family because he is not a true blood relative and never will be, calling him "a fake-ass Uce." Jey says he will shed blood for the family and asks Sami if he is willing to do it too, and when Sami wants peace because Roman says there should be peace, Jey says he does not give a damn what Roman says. Sami has to get between Jey and Roman and say that Jey did not mean what he said as he has gone through a lot and has not been himself and has not been "very Ucey." Roman smiles, and Jey Uso is really trying not to corpse as Roman says that if Jey cannot find his "inner Ucey" again, he is going to do something Jey is not gonna like. Roman threatens to take the "honorary" away from Sami Zayn and make him "a full-blown Uce," and also threatens to rename him "Sami Uso." This starts a "Sami Uso" chant. Paul Heyman then plugs Roman's match against Logan Paul for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel before counting down to another commercial break.

Backstage, we hear from Braun Strowman. He says it is clear that Omos is bigger than him, but everyone has seen that he can be stronger than Omos and that everything he did to prove his strength was exciting and a challenge. He says that he felt that excitement with Omos and that when it comes to challenges, the bigger, the better. Strowman then says that Omos will find out that there is no challenge too big for "the monster of all monsters."
Before the next match, Ronda Rousey says that the Smackdown Women's Championship is back where it belongs and that the fans are in luck to see her issue an open challenge tonight. She says that she does not expect the fans to be grateful, as only the great can recognize greatness and everyone is too mediocre to recognize what they are looking at. Ronda then asks who her challenger tonight is, and it is Tennille Dashwood, who returns to WWE as Emma.
"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey retains the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Emma after gouging the eyes prior to Piper's Pit and the arm breaker.

Backstage, Paul Heyman asks Roman Reigns to watch footage of Logan Paul practicing in a boxing ring. When Roman asks why they are watching this, Heyman says it takes one lucky punch. Heyman talks about how Logan Paul once broke his knockout hand and had steel pins inserted into it, and when Roman says it is Logan Paul's third match, Paul Heyman mentions that Brock Lesnar won the UFC World Heavyweight Championship in his third match. This angers Roman, and Paul Heyman decides to take his leave.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews LA Knight. LA Knight mentions the ring announcer not getting his hometown right last week, then Ricochet shows up and says LA Knight would get a warmer reception if he did not act like "God's gift." He also says that when shows up with a big head, one is more likely to knock it around. LA Knight leaves after saying he is God's gift to SmackDown, then Ricochet tells him to keep going, as somebody is going to shut his mouth.
Karrion Kross beats Madcap Moss. After the match, Kross puts Moss in the Kross Jacket and tells McIntyre that Moss put up more of a fight than he did because Moss is not a hypocrite and a coward.

He says that sometimes he does not have control and can go to a very dark place, and other times, he does not feel anything at all. Bray says that is part of what makes him "him," and that he has to do horrible things and part of him likes doing it. Bray then says that is not the end of it and that there will come a time when he is forced to do something completely horrible when the lights on the ring darken. He then see images of an old man in a hat wrapped in barbed wire. He says "You killed the world," and says that Bray Wyatt still wears a mask and that he will never be able to hide from his Uncle Howdy. We then see a tear fall down Uncle Howdy's face as the show ends.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 23, 2022
The Bloodline head to the ring to start tonight's show. Paul Heyman dictates that the entire universe belongs to Roman Reigns, and after stating that Drew McIntyre has another bridge to cross, he then addresses Solo Sikoa. He admits it was not his or Roman's idea for him to be in The Bloodline, but one of the elders of the dynasty for him to be there, and says someone has to stop the conspiracies against Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman then proclaims that the already-unstoppable Bloodline is even more unstoppable now that Solo Sikoa is their enforcer, which allows The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) to pursue tag team greatness, history and immortality. Jimmy Uso says that he and Jey will still be the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions, but as Jey says that they are the ones, Roman glances at him, and Jey hands him his microphone. Roman addresses Solo, who says that while the elders may have sent him, he will answer to him. He tells Solo to acknowledge him. Solo says "I acknowledge you, my Tribal Chief," and both men hug. As everyone leaves, Sami Zayn interrupts him, and says that while he is not technically blood, he says that the way that The Bloodline has taken him in has led him to publicly acknowledge Roman, which he does. Roman tells Sami he likes him, then asks him why he is saying anything and why he even has their shirt on and is even with them to begin with. He then tells Roman to take the shirt off, with Jey even demanding he take the shirt off. Sami asks if this has anything to do with last week's press conference, but Roman demands he remove the Bloodline shirt that he is wearing. Jey soon rips the shirt off, and Roman tells Sami to listen to him for once and tells him not to wear one of their shirts again. He then says that he got him a new one, which he hands to Sami. It reads "SZ HONORARY UCE." Sami puts it on and thanks The Bloodline, then tells Roman "I acknowledge you, Tribal Chief." Both men hug.
Liv Morgan beats Lacey Evans with a lungblower followed by the Ob-Liv-Ion after ducking a Kendo stick swing from Lacey Evans. After the match, Liv grabs the Kendo stick, but soon throws it down before quickly picking it back up and smacking Lacey with it before driving her into the barricade with it with a side Russian leg sweep. Liv then pulls a table out from underneath the ring and sets it up, and after putting Lacey on the table, Liv goes up top and puts Lacey through it with a senton from the top turnbuckle.
Backstage, Hit Row (B-Fab, Top Dolla, Ashante "Thee" Adonis) drink champagne and have a SmackDown watch party, then talk about The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) before The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up and mention Braun Strowman vs. Otis. Shinsuke Nakamura shows up and says he has Braun to win, then joins in.
Backstage, Sami Zayn talks to a member of catering before running into Madcap Moss and Ricochet, who tell him that he is more unbearable and obnoxious than before. Sami Zayn says that if they disrespect him, they disrespect The Bloodline. As Ricochet is about to call Sami a certified lapdog, he and Moss are attacked out of nowhere by Solo Sikoa.
