Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 19, 2021

Edge heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Edge contemplates which championship to challenge for, and says that Roman Reigns is playing a smart game by having the challenger go through an Elimination Chamber match just to get to him, giving him thirteen possible opponents to have to contend with. After Edge says that he has to make a decision, Roman Reigns, Jey Uso and Paul Heyman show up. Roman says he is the only opponent that Edge that has to worry about, and says he can either pick a main event or "the main eventer." Edge tells Roman that what he saw in his eyes was not fear, but a man who played him like a fiddle, and says that Roman lost his cool with him last week, which confirmed that Roman is insecure and needs him to be the main event. He also says that he sees a young man in his prime firing on every cylinder, and while he respects him and his family, he is cracking to pressure he has not applied to him yet and asks if Roman really wants him to focus on him and expose his weakness. Suddenly, Sami Zayn shows up with his documentary crew and says it is one thing to be disrespected by WWE management, but it is another thing to be disrespected by two of the biggest stars in WWE. Sami says that WWE did not want him in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Universal Championship match, but he plowed his way through it, and tells both Sami and Roman that he is the real threat and the champion of the people. Sami asks his documentary crew to capture him pointing at the WrestleMania sign, for that is where he is going.

He says that if Big E talked to his ancestors like he did to him, he would have lost his tongue. Apollo then says that Big E is intimidated by him, and that he will get what he deserves.

The ref stops Apollo from attacking again as Big E rolls out of the ring, and when the ref tells him to put the steps down, he drops them on Big E. Medical staff tend to Big E as referees keep Apollo back.

Big E is taken to the back on a stretcher as Seth Rollins shows up. He says that what happened to Big E is a tragedy, as is being betrayed by one's friends, and says he knows a thing or two about that after the locker room walked out on him. He says that he understands Big E's pain, then shows the footage from last week of his return, the SmackDown locker room walking out on him and his attack on Cesaro for telling him he has not changed one bit. Rollins calls this emotional trauma, says he is still suffering and says that this is unacceptable anywhere, much less the workplace, and says he has delivered a formal complaint to WWE officials and that legal action is pending. He says that he and his legal team will win, and states that months went into his big moment, and that his return to SmackDown was ruined by "a bunch of losers and a bunch of cowards" because they are afraid and want to divide him and the fans. He says that the locker room knows that there are millions who have followed the vision for a better SmackDown and a better tomorrow, and that the biggest loser of them all is Cesaro for taking his homecoming and making it about us. Rollins says that Cesaro embarrassed and patronized him and his followers and waited until he was last to disrespect him, and says that Cesaro was asking for it. He says that what happened to Cesaro will happen to whoever stands in the way, for he and millions have already embraced the vision.

He also says Owens and Adam Pearce did not outsmart him, as that kind of thinking is beneath him and that Pearce is scared.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for December 11, 2020

Sasha Banks shows up to start tonight's show. Adam Pearce is in the ring to moderate a contract signing between her and Carmella. When Sasha opens the folder, there is no contract. Carmella shows up on the TitanTron with the contract, saying she makes the rules and Sasha follows them. She has someone else in a suit and tie bring the contract to the ring, and says she would not get in the ring with after what happened two weeks ago. Carmella goes on to say that she is playing chess with her life and is always four steps ahead as the contract is brought to the ring, and Sasha proposes game ideas such as how far back she can bend Carmella or make her cry. Carmella says that as soon as Sasha signs the contract, her days as SmackDown Women's Championship are almost over. Sasha puts her stamp on the contract, then tells Carmella that if she wants the title, they can go at it tonight. Carmella accepts, then Sasha sends a message to her by beating up her assistant.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). Concerning the comments by Robert Roode saying they are "too funny to make money," The Street Profits make it clear that it will not be funny when they are in action tonight, even if Solo cups or Robert Roode clones rained from the sky.

Before the next match, Dolph Ziggler says that The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) are "the poor man's version of Desus and Mero" and less funny than his stand-up comedy routine, and that them being tag team champions are also not funny. Robert Roode tells them to get a good laugh, because when they get a chance at the titles, their reign will go up in smoke.

Dolph Ziggler beats Montez Ford following the distraction by Robert Roode. During the match, blue Solo cups (which officially replace the red ones as of tonight) rain down from the top of the arena as Robert Roode helps Ziggler regroup.

Backstage, Sami Zayn demands to know why he does not have a shirt despite being Intercontinental Champion. Big E shows up with his own shirt and says merch should be the last thing on his mind and that he should worry about himself. Apollo Crews then displays a shirt of a stick figure Sami Zayn saying "I am Sami Zayn," which angers Sami to the point that he tries - and fails - to tear the shirt in half before leaving in a huff.

Sami Zayn is in the ring. He says that he has beaten many opponents as Intercontinental Champion, but he has no respect and no T-shirt, and says he just wants a T-shirt so his fans can show him some respect. He also says that WWE took the time to honor a fellow Quebecois in Pat Patterson only to turn around and mistreat him before Big E shows up for the next match.

Sami Zayn beats Big E by count-out after Sami fakes a hand injury only to slap Big E in the face, which only makes Big E mad enough to chase him out of the ring. Big E follows Sami underneath the ring and grabs him by the leg, but Sami stomps him and gets back in the ring in time to win by count-out.

We hear from Bayley, who sends her well-wishes to Carmella in tonight's women's title match, and says that she still runs the division and that Sasha Banks is the most overpaid and overrated Superstar in history. Bayley also makes fun of Bianca Belair, saying she should be gone. Bianca shows up from behind and produces actual receipts as she brags about what she's done lately, none of which are things that Bayley has done lately.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Carmella, who says she has been itching for a match with Sasha Banks for weeks now and that she is what the SmackDown Women's Championship and that she will beat Sasha and look good doing it. Carmella's assistant then returns, and Carmella asks him to bring the champagne to ringside so she can celebrate in style while Sasha's tears fall to the ground.

Backstage, Jey Uso and Roman Reigns talk. As Kevin Owens heads to the ring, Jey Uso tells Roman "Let me get him." Roman tells Jey Uso to go get Kevin Owens.

Kevin Owens comes to the ring and sets up a table, a ladder and a chair. He says that even if Roman Reigns wants him to fear him and is better than he has ever been, he does not fear him, for he relates to him. He also says that regardless of how good he is, Roman is having his family fight his battles for him, and while their match at TLC is the most important of his career, he is aware that he will need all the help he can get to beat him. Owens says that while he fights for his family as well, his family is not part of the business and supports him at home. He then says he has a few friends to help him: a chair, a ladder and a table. Owens says that chairs are cold and unforgiving and that they will give him a hard time sitting at the head of the table, then says tables are hard but are willing to welcome him at TLC, then says ladders are rough and unpredictable but will get him back to the top. Owens climbs up the ladder, and as he wants Roman about mentioning his family, he is attacked with a chair from behind by Jey Uso, who proceeds to put him through a table only to be smacked with a chair by Owens. Owens then puts Jey through a table with a pop-up powerbomb just before Roman Reigns shows up. Owens dares Roman to enter the ring, but Paul Heyman tells Roman he calls the shots, not Owens, and Roman heads back to the back with Heyman. Owens then grabs a steel chair and heads to the back with it.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton tries to interview Kevin Owens, but as he says that what happened to Jey Uso earlier is on Roman Reigns, Roman suddenly attacks Owens. Roman then looks at the camera and introduces himself to Owens' family before telling them to talk sense into him before he takes the food off their table. He stomps Owens one last time, then leaves.

The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan) beat Billie Kay and Natalya.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviws Chad Gable and Otis. Gable says life has knocked Otis down time and time again, but Otis has grit and personality, and after their training, he will mold a lump of clay like him to the proportions of Michaelangelo's "David." As Otis says Gable is capable of great things despite his small stature, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura show up to mock them, then leave.

We hear from Mario Lopez, who says that he and his daughter cannot wait for tonight's main event and that Sasha Banks will show Carmella why she should not cross The Boss.

Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura beat Chad Gable and Otis.

Backstage, Chad Gable and Otis talk. Gable tells Otis he didn't really want him to tag in and that he wanted him to finish the job. He says that the failed the test, but he is teaching him what to do by teaching him what not to do. He then tells Otis to rehydrate and that he will explain everything later before leaving.

Backstage, King Corbin talks with Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler, who scan Alyse Ashton with a wand before interviewing Corbin. Corbin says that Cutler and Blake are now "The Knights of the Lone Wolf" and have pledged their ruthless, cold-blooded loyalty to him, and that Rey Mysterio can step up and bring Murphy and Dominik Mysterio with him, but he will realize that the consequences will be more severe than just losing an eye.

Next week: SmackDown is on FS1! Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode vs. The Street Profits for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships! Bianca Belair vs. Bayley!

After the match, the assistant goes after Sasha again, but Sasha beats him up a second time before Carmella attacks her from behind.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 5, 2020

Backstage, Randy Orton admits that he left in an ambulance instead of as WWE Champion, and while he does not remember the ride, he remembers the match, and he saw nothing but complete darkness and felt nothing but excruciating pain. The following night, as McIntyre and the Superstars he has punted celebrated on Raw "with a title he didn't deserve," he felt obligated to give them an equal but opposite reaction in the form of a re-introduction to "The Legend Killer." He wanted to make sure Big Show, Christian, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair felt the same pain he felt and the same darkness he saw, and he put on the night vision goggles in order to partake in their agony. Orton then describes in detail what he did to the four men in the Legends' Lounge last week, then says he wishes that he saw McIntyre's reaction, and that he will not stop until he is WWE Champion. He says this is not over until he says it is over, and that McIntyre still has hell to pay. Orton tells McIntyre to tell anyone who will listen that if one wants the legacy of being a WWE Champion, all he has to do is survive one more match against him in Hell In A Cell. Drew McIntyre then barges into the room where Orton is and proceeds to beat him up. Officials have to get involved and restore order, and Randy Orton runs out of the room.

Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke and Asuka beat Zelina Vega, Natalya and Lana. After the match, Nia Jax and Shayna Bazlers show up. Zelina Vega is able to leave, but Natalya and Lana are not, and Nia makes Lana pay for protecting Natalya by putting her through the announce table for a third time.

R-Truth and Little Jimmy practice a WWE mock draft as a janitor mops a floor nearby. A referee shows up, and the janitor swings his mop and hits the referee. R-Truth, thinking it is Randy Orton, dodges but trips over a mop bucket, and the janitor pins him for the 24/7 title. The janitor is not Randy Orton, but Drew Gulak, who runs away with the referee and the 24/7 Championship.

Backstage, Mustafa Ali, Apollo Crews and Ricochet are approached by MVP, who tells them that the WWE Draft can change their careers in an instant, and says that for one night only, he has an opening in The Hurt Business (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander). He says that regardless of what brand they go to, if they join "The Black and Gold," "business is booming." Apollo and Mustafa leave, but Ricochet looks back at MVP.

Before the next match, Murphy refuses to give Seth Rollins the microphone, and tells him that while he has been an ideal disciple, he wants him to apologize to Aalyah for his actions if he wants him to stay a disciple. Rollins goes of on Murphy, saying that he saved him and that he could have put a lot more out there - such as Aalyah's thoughts on their current situation - but chose not too. Dominik Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo's entrance interrupts them.

It's time for The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guest is Bray Wyatt. Owens says that he is usually happy to have a guest on his show, but tonight feels different, as The Fiend truly changes people when he touches them and he can still feel the agony and the dread of The Fiend. He tosses the chairs out of the ring, as tonight will be less about having a nice chat and more about what The Fiend did to him on last week's SmackDown. Owens admits it is hard to find the words to describe how The Fiend's Mandible Claw felt, and how he could not think or move and was just paralyzed. He also mentions that "guys with tortured souls" seem to have a problem with him as of late. Owens then calls out Bray Wyatt, but The Firefly Fun House shows up on the TitanTron. Bray says that Owens is his new friend, and that friends are great. He also says that friends stick together through thick and thin even between brands, then he and his puppets sing a song about friends until Owens tells Bray they are not friends after The Fiend attacked him. Owens then tells Bray to get in the ring right now so that he does not have to wait until Friday to beat the hell out of him. Bray says he does not like bullies, and neither does The Fiend, and that Alexa Bliss' business is between her and The Fiend. Bray tells Owens that he has no idea what he has gotten himself into, but on Friday, he will know, and tells him to consider this a warning, as this is what friends are for. Bray disappears, and Owens says that if Bray will not come to him, he will come to Bray. As he goes up the ramp, he is attacked from behind by Aleister Black, who hits Owens with a Black Mass.

All of a sudden, the referee who was with R-Truth makes the count, and it is revealed that R-Truth has won the 24/7 Championship back.

Before the next match, MVP says that Ricochet, Apollo Crews and Mustafa Ali are so talented that he offered them a spot in The Hurt Business, and that The Hurt Business (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) would have won last week if it were not for Retribution (Slapjack, T-BAR, Mace). MVP then warns Retribution that if they want to play tough, they will fold, as The Hurt Business are really what nightmares are made of. Mustafa, Ricochet and Apollo show up. Mustafa says MVP is making excuses about last week's loss, and Ricochet tells MVP that they will pass on a slot in The Hurt Business before telling him he has not run before and will not run now.

Murphy shows up, but he is reluctant to apologize and Rollins tells him that he does not want to go down this path. As Rollins demands that Murphy apologize, Murphy turns on Rollins and tackles him, booting him out of the ring before fighting him on the announce table. This starts a brawl between Rollins and Murphy, and Murphy gets the upper hand on Rollins even as Rollins pulls a Kendo stick out from underneath the ring.

Orton says that he said last week that he would jump through hoops for the WWE Championship rematch he is entitled to, yet he is facing Keith Lee in a one-on-one match tonight, and the more they cross paths, the more likely he is to kick Keith Lee in the head. Orton then addresses McIntyre, saying they will face off for the WWE Championship if McIntyre recovers in time, and that McIntyre may not make it to the event due to how he repeatedly attacked and punted him two weeks ago. Orton says that without McIntyre cleared to compete, he should be handed the WWE Championship. Suddenly, an ambulance shows up in the arena, and McIntyre walks out of it and Claymores Orton.

He says that while Murphy wants vengeance, Dominik knows what to do to put an end to Murphy. Before Dominik can speak, Murphy shows up on the TitanTron and says it is because of Dominik that Seth Rollins turned his back on him and berated him.

There will be three matches tonight: Keith Lee vs. Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton and Dominik Mysterio (who replaces Rey Mysterio due to an injury Rey suffered last night) vs. Seth Rollins. The winners of these matches will face each other in a Triple Threat Match to decide who faces McIntyre for the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions.

He says the only thing McIntyre deserves is the fractured jaw he gave him. He says that McIntyre deserves to be in pain every single day, and that he himself is the only person promising kicks at Clash of Champions. On the subject of McIntyre saying he is entitled, Orton says he should not have to fight for a WWE Championship rematch, but he will jump through the hoops and face McIntyre for the WWE Championship again, assuming McIntyre be able to make it to Clash of Champions first. Orton says that he has it under good authority that McIntyre is reminiscing with some good friends about how Orton punted him, then displayed a doctored photo of McIntyre, with Edge, Christian, Big Show, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels all in hospital beds. Suddenly, Keith Lee shows up. Lee tells Orton that he has done well for himself and is fixated on talking about the havoc he has caused over the last few months in order to forget that he beat him at Payback. Lee says Orton may be the best to put on a pair of wrestling boots, but he gave him no choice but to bask in his glory, then says a victory like his over a legend killer like Orton means he should get a chance at the WWE Championship.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Rey Mysterio. Rey says that getting closure against Seth Rollins last night was important to him, and while it means the world to him to beat Seth, his loss is his son's gain.

Dominik Mysterio says he may be the underdog, but after last night, his confidence is on another level and he has a 619 for Rollins.
