Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 4, 2019

The show begins with Triple H coming out of a black Cadillac. He opens talks to someone in the black Cadillac behind his, then heads into the arena.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up to start tonight's show. Heyman announced that Lesnar has had enough of SmackDown and has quit the brand, and has come to Raw to hunt down Rey Mysterio. He states that Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were traded to Raw for two draft pick considerations, and since Lesnar has a no-cut contract and WWE has an investment in him, Lesnar is able to switch brands due to leverage and entitlement to do what he wants to do. He then says that this means that Lesnar is better than each and every fan watching in the arena and at home as well as anyone who thinks they are tough enough to face Lesnar. Heyman states that somebody in the back knows where Rey is, and asks if anybody wants to see Lesnar smack everyone in the audience to get where that info is. He then says nobody is tough enough to face Lesnar, and states that somebody will rat Rey out so that Lesnar can decimate him, or else Lesnar will tear the arena apart just to find him, as tonight is the funeral of Rey Mysterio's career. As Lesnar and Heyman head backstage, Lesnar attacks a backstage worker and starts attacking people while hunting for Rey.

Backstage, Brock Lesnar yells at another backstage worker, who tells him that he has seen him enter a nearby car. Lesnar goes up to the car and rips the back door open, but Rey is not inside.

Charlotte Flair and Natalya beat The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) with a Sharpshooter to Asuka. After the match, Paul Heyman asks the commentary team where Rey Mysterio is, and demands to know where Rey is from Jerry "The King" Lawler or else he will unleash Lesnar on him and "nobody will be there to resuscitate him when he dies on the air again." Dio Maddux confronts Lesnar only to be put through the table with an F5, then Rey Mysterio runs onto the stage and smacks Lesnar with a baseball bat before hitting him with the WWE Championship. Referees and officials have to keep Rey away from Lesnar.

In footage from during the commercial break, Brock Lesnar is seen limping his way and even crawling up the ramp to the back.

We hear from Rey Mysterio, who says that Brock Lesnar tried to take everything from him by attacking his family and that he is now coming after what is important to Lesnar: the WWE Championship. He asks if Lesnar is man enough to come after him at Survivor Series like he came after Lesnar tonight.

Buddy Murphy beats Cedric Alexander.

Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins says it has been a rough couple of months, much less a rough couple of weeks, as what concerns him is that "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt took the Universal Championship to SmackDown while Lesnar has come to Raw with the WWE Championship and everything he has worked for to give newer guys an opportunity to step up are all gone and he is starting from scratch all over again. While rebuilding and reclaiming is his thing, he does not know if he has the energy for it this time, and for the first time in a long time, he has no idea what is next for him. Suddenly, Triple H shows up. Triple H mentions that their paths always cross when Rollins does not know what to do next, then says that one must retrace their path to see their future. He then says that maybe his future is his past due to his accomplishments in NXT. He says that when he came to Triple H to think of what to do next, The Shield and his singles run came out of it. Rollins asks if it was for his benefit or Triple H's, but Triple H says that it does not matter as Rollins walked away a champion. Triple H says that he knows what's next, then goes over NXT's takeover of SmackDown last week and proved that NXT is here, real and on fire. He then says he did not come along after asking what NXT will do next, and wants to know what Rollins will do next. He says that whatever Rollins does next affects what he does next, and states that they have something to prove at Survivor Series. He also says he knows how to make Rollins great, and says that Rollins is either with him in this moment or against him. As he says this, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) come out of the crowd and stand on the apron. Suddenly, The O.C. ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) show up. The Undisputed Era back down and jump over the barricade when The O.C. chase after them. All of a sudden, Dominik Dijakovic, Damian Priest and other NXT Superstars strike, and they are chased out by the Raw locker room.

Backstage, Seth Rollins tells Triple H that he has lit a fire under him, and if he wants him in NXT, he is coming in as a top guy. He demands a match with Adam Cole for the NXT Championship tonight and gets it.

Before the next match, Zelina Vega says that the fans have the opportunity to see here humiliate and embarrass Catalina while Sin Cara is exposed as man without a prayer of beating Andrade.

Andrade and Zelina Vega beat Sin Cara and Catalina.

Rusev is in the ring. He says everyone will agree with him that tonight is the night to end all the drama, but he is not here to bicker with Lana; he is here to tell Lashley that if he wants Lana, she's all his, but his ass is his. Bobby Lashley shows up on crutches along with Lana, and Lashley says that as much as he would love to beat Rusev up all over the arena, he is not medically cleared after tearing his groin having sex with Lana. Lana says that Rusev isn't interested about hearing about their life of love and sex, then says that Rusev is lucky as somebody has volunteered to fight him and kick his ass: Drew McIntyre.

Rusev beats Drew McIntyre by disqualification after Bobby Lashley attacks Rusev with one of his crutches, revealing he is not hurt. After the match, Rusev gets his hands on Lashley, but when he goes to attack Lashley with his crush, he is hits with an RKO out of nowhere by Randy Orton. Ricochet shows up and sends Lashley out of the ring before overpowering Randy Orton and drop kicking Lashley into Lana.

Charly Caruso has a sit-down interview with Becky Lynch. Becky looks forward to her match with Bayley and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, as she is now the target of retribution after what she has done to Sasha Banks and Ronda Rousey. Suddenly, Shayna Baszler shows up and decides to replace Charly Caruso, and says she has waited a long time to meet Becky. She tells an unfazed Becky that she is not Ronda Rousey and that she will pin her or tap her out at Survivor Series. After Shayna says that Becky will be wondering which limb will belong to her, Becky admits she does not know Shayna, but she is glad they had this talk, and she will come directly for her. Both women then have an intense staredown.

Before the next match, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles says that Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are the best tag team in the world and that they have the trophy to prove it, and that The O.C. (Styles, Gallows, Anderson) does not give a damn about NXT and that they will make sure they never step foot out of Orlando, Florida. Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and Humberto Carrillo then show up, and Montez Ford mocks Shane McMahon's ring announcement before Angelo Dawkins says they beat them before, and Humberto Carrillo rubs it in their face. Styles tells Humberto to shut his mouth before he shuts it for him. Carrillo repeats that Street Profits beat them two weeks ago - once in Spanish - then the three of them say that they want the smoke.

The O.C. ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) beat Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and Humberto Carrillo after Styles puts his feet on the ropes for leverage after a matchbook cover following a powerbomb.

We see a video package for Adam Cole.

The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) beat The East Hampton Polo Boys (who are portrayed by Bobby Wayward and Nikos Rikos, best known for their work in WrestlePro). After the match, Erik says The Viking Raiders stand as men bold enough to admit they suffered defeat at Crown Jewel. They congratulate The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) on becoming the best tag team in the world, and tells them to enjoy their trophy. Ivar says that victory is nothing more than survival, and while The O.C. may thank the gods and have won one battle, nothing can stop the raid.

Seth Rollins beats Adam Cole by disqualification after the rest of The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). After the match, members of the Raw and NXT locker rooms both rush in and fight each other to close out the show.

Paige shows up to start tonight's show.

As Paige tries to apply a towel with water on her face, Asuka approaches Paige, then Becky Lynch shows up and fights Kairi Sane, forcing her to retreat, then fights Asuka and Kairi only for the numbers game to take over.

He says that he is a man who has so much to be thankful for, and says that the love from the fans to him and his family shows he has so much to be humble for. After Rey says everyone will celebrate when Velasquez gives Lesnar another scar and wins the WWE Championship, Paul Heyman shows up on the TitanTron and says Rey would change his tune if he and Lesnar were in the building. He tells Rey that he lives in this perceptual prison that makes him think Velasquez is the one who can handle Brock Lesnar, but when Lesnar sees the scar carved into his face by Velasquez, he salivates for revenge that will come at Crown Jewel. He tells Rey that he will be serving Velasquez like dinner on a silver platter to Lesnar, then Rey says something to Heyman in Spanish. Suddenly, Shelton Benjamin shows up and takes offense to Velasquez facing Lesnar for the WWE Championship. Rey says this is a family matter, but Shelton says that Lesnar is his friend, as he trained and roomed with Lesnar, who he considers family. He says that aside from Heyman, nobody knows Lesnar better than him. He then decides to see what happens if he pushes Rey around.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for April 17, 2018

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up to start tonight's show. Styles says that you can tell a lot about a man through his failures, and that we have learned all we need to know about "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura. He says that he dreamed about their WrestleMania match, and in the end, he succeeded and Nakamura failed, and that Nakamura showed his true colors and proved himself a con artist after the match. Last week, he should have been celebrating, but all he had on his mind was retribution against Nakamura. He was also presented with a real dream match against Daniel Bryan. During the match, Nakamura then showed his true colors again and ruined that match. He refuses to let it go, and he will not leave the match until he confronts Nakamura. He says that Nakamura may have conveniently forgotten how to speak English, but he is here for a fight, not a conversation. Instead of Nakamura, however, Styles gets Aiden English and Rusev. Aiden English sings that he knows it is not them he wanted, and that Nakamura is not here tonight. He then raps that if Styles wants a fight, he can have it with Rusev. Styles then says that since it is Rusev Day and Nakamura has no spine, they might as well fight right now. This starts a match that ends as quickly as it began after Aiden English interferes. As Rusev and English stomp Styles, Daniel Bryan runs into the ring and helps even the odds for Styles.

Backstage, Commissioner Shane McMahon is met by General Manager Paige, who makes a tag team match between the team of Rusev and Aiden English and the team of "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan official for tonight. Shane also confirms that The Miz is coming back to SmackDown Live "by Daniel Bryan's request."

Shelton Benjamin - now without Chad Gable due to Gable being moved over to Raw during the Superstar Shake-up - shows up. Last night on Twitter, Shelton says he called Gable "an inspirational partner" and that he sees a bright future for him. He also says his Twitter account got hacked and that he would not say anything like that as he never needed Chad Gable; instead, Gable needed him. Benjamin says he needs the respect he deserves and championship opportunities that he is owed, as he is one of the biggest threats on SmackDown Live. He has asked General Manager Paige to send him some big competition. Big competition comes to Shelton Benjamin comes in the form of Randy Orton. Orton stops halfway down the ramp, however, and he is accompanied by Jeff Hardy, who officially brings the WWE United States Championship from Raw to SmackDown Live. Orton is beside himself, as Hardy ends up getting in the ring with Shelton instead of him.

Jeff Hardy beats Shelton Benjamin.

We hear from The Miz. He says Daniel Bryan directed a tweet at him asking how long he has to wait to punch Miz's face. After asking the crowd if they want to see it, he then says he is in Los Angeles with Maryse and his daughter Monroe Sky. He then announces he will make his SmackDown Live premiere next week, and if Daniel Bryan tries to troll him again, he will kick his ass. After Maryse warns him about his language in front of his daughter, Miz says next week will be awesome.

Harper beats Jey Uso. After the match, The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) attack The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). They are about to hit Jimmy with their mallets when Naomi runs down to the ring to protect him. The Bludgeon Brothers decide to leave Jimmy and Naomi alone and slowly walk backwards up the entrance ramp.

Samoa Joe beats Sin Cara with the Coaquina Clutch in his SmackDown Live debut. After the match, Samoa Joe says SmackDown Live is more like "the land of hand-outs" than "the land of opportunities," as everyone has had it easy on SmackDown Live in his absence. He says the blue brand has been coddled, catered to, and convinced they are better than they are before saying that this all changes now and that he will put Daniel Bryan to sleep, defang Randy Orton and emasculate and decimate "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. He then says if there are any non-believers, he will make them believers at Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash, and he will promise that whatever is left of Roman Reigns after Brock Lesnar beats his ass again will be shredded and put out to pasture for good. However, if by some miraculous happenstance, Roman Reigns is victorious, then he will bring back his newly-won Intercontinental Championship and tear the Universal Championship from his waist. He then ends by saying "Believe that.".

SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain, Nikki Cross) is coming to SmackDown Live!

Renee Young interviews Daniel Bryan, who says he saved "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles because he respects him. He says that he has wanted to face AJ Styles in WWE, for he is the best. Daniel Bryan wanted to prove he had not lost a step against Styles, but "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura ruined the match. Nevertheless, he is glad to team with Styles, as they will face each other again. All of a sudden, Big Cass shows up, wondering what all the fuss about Daniel Bryan is about before calling Daniel "little man." He then leaves.

Carmella shows up for her SmackDown Women's Championship "'Mellabration." Carmella accuses the crowd of jumping on her bandwagon now that she is a champion when they never supported her to begin with, then says she is not "The Princess of Staten Island" anymore; instead, she is the Crown Princess of SmackDown Live. She then says she waited 287 long days to take her time and pick her moment to become SmackDown Women's Champion, and that she beat Charlotte Flair to do it. Carmella goes on to beat the woman who broke Asuka's undefeated streak all on her own, and that all she had to do is wait for Charlotte to be blinded by her own ego. She then says to be the woman, you've got to be the woman, and that she is indeed the woman. She calls her title win historic and says it will be the biggest moment not only in the Women's Revolution, but all of women's history. Carmella then shows a video package on the TitanTron that chronicles her road to becoming SmackDown Women's Championship from winning the Women's Money In The Bank briefcase to her title win last week. Carmella then admits she will miss her Money In The Break briefcase, affectionately named "Frankie," and says she will keep the SmackDown Women's title - which she calls "Cleopatra" - longer than she kept "Frankie." All of a sudden, Charlotte Flair shows up. She tells Carmella that her title reign is a lot like her memory - short - and that the only reason she had the briefcase was because of James Ellsworth and the only reason she has the title is because of The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce). She then says she knows "the dirtiest player in the game" and that "game respects game." After congratulating Carmella on her title win, she tells her it is much harder to stay on top than it is to get there, and she has something of hers. Suddenly, The IIconics show up. Billie tells Charlotte that it is pathetic that she is blaming them for her failure, then Peyton calls Charlotte "a big baby" as she mocks her. Billie says Peyton's mockery of Charlotte is spot-on, then asks what Charlotte is crying about as she asked for magic and they gave it to her when they made the SmackDown Women's title disappear from her waist. Peyton then says this moment will last forever, and it is all because of them. They then say Charlotte is looking at the future and that the future is iconic. Charlotte looks at Carmella form the apron, then gets down and tries to fight The IIconics off at ringsde. The numbers game takes over until Becky Lynch runs out and makes the save for Charlotte. Referees have to break up the brawl.

Carmella guests at the commentary table for the next match.

Here's the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for November 14, 2017

The show begins with Commissioner Shane McMahon leading a meeting with the blue brand roster. He wants everyone to be on the same page in case of a red brand retaliation. After Sunday, they will be the dominant brand, and instead of "the B-show," they will be "the show." Becky Lynch says the only thing that will be broken on Sunday is Asuka's arm. Sin Cara and Baron Corbin have a match to decide who will be United States Champion. Corbin says Miz is living on borrowed time and that he will soon see the End of Days. Shane then mentions the sudden replacement of Triple H into Team Raw, but says they are ready and over the top now that they have John Cena on their men's squad. Shane says that this Sunday, they will be the survivors and their champions will dominate, and nobody will be able to stop them now...not Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle or The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns). The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) mention The Shield's challenge, which they have accepted, because SmackDown rocks.

General Manager Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel Bryan says it is good to be back, and after what happened to him a few weeks ago, in one piece. He says it was his fault when he showed up alone, but he - and SmackDown Live - do not stay down. He says that the blue brand will get back up and hit twice as hard. As a result, the red brand is afraid and have added Triple H to their men's team. He also says Raw is embarrassed, as they ransacked Raw before their 25th anniversary. He does not agree with this action as he knows how vindictive Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon can be, but regardless, SmackDown Live is ready for anything, and that is why he bleeds blue. Daniel Bryan says on Sunday that SmackDown Live will prove they are the dominant brand on Sunday. He then mentions that things can change in a week, and announces the addition of John Cena's to the blue brand's men's team before introducing the new WWE Champion, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, who shows up. Before AJ can say anything, Daniel Bryan stops him and says that SmackDown plans to treat its champions as well as Raw does theirs. He asks AJ Styles if he wants his own personal advocate. The crowd chants yes, then AJ Styles then says yes. Daniel Bryan then introduces himself much like Paul Heyman does, and names himself the personal advocate of "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles for one night. Daniel Bryan mentions Paul Heyman's five selling points for Survivor Series, but disagrees with the last point being that Styles will be destroyed by Brock Lesnar on Sunday. He can see why Paul Heyman agrees with that point. He says Brock Lesnar is a big man, but he has a thick head and a tendency to quit, saying he tapped out to "a half-assed knee bar on a UFC show." Daniel goes on to say that Lesnar quits as soon as he is pushed into deep water, and says Styles will push Lesnar into those deep waters. He says a man as big as Lesnar can last in deep water for 10 minutes before he starts to get tired and eventually quits. He says Lesnar may be big and strong, but he cannot go all night long or keep up with AJ Styles. Daniel Bryan gives one reason to watch Survivor Series as opposed to Heyman's five: seeing a beast like Brock Lesnar beaten, victimized and conquered by the best in-ring competitor of this generation. Styles then says he can talk as he is not a puppet like Brock Lesnar. He admits he is the underdog, but he would not have it any other way, and tells Heyman this isn't a Rocky movie; this is an AJ Styles production. Styles says he will find a way to win and prove that SmackDown is not only the better brand, but the house that AJ Styles built.

"The Phenonemal" AJ Styles runs into Jinder Mahal backstage. Jinder tells Styles that Brock Lesnar tearing him limb from limb will be nothing compared to taking the WWE Championship back from him.

Baron Corbin retains the WWE United States Championship against Sin Cara and goes on to face The Miz at Survivor Series.

The Charlotte Hornets are seen in the front row.

We see a video package of the events of last night's Raw.

Commissioner Shane McMahon talks with General Manager Daniel Bryan, and thanks him for his support. Daniel Bryan tells Shane they need to talk about being on the same page after not letting him in on the raid on Raw before it happened, then simply tells him he will see him on Sunday.

Charlotte Flair beats Natalya with the Figure Eight to become the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, making her the first woman in WWE history to win the NXT, Divas, Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships. After the match, Renee Young interviews Charlotte Flair. She says she has worked hard to win the SmackDown Women's title, and to win it in her hometown means everything. The crowd chants "You deserve it." At Survivor Series, she will walk into the ring and make Alexa Bliss back down to the queen, as there was a queen of Raw before there was a goddess and she will win for Team Blue. She then mentions the recent troubles her father "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair has had as of late, but he is watching the show tonight from home. She tells him that this win is for him. Suddenly, as Charlotte leaves, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair suddenly shows up and celebrates the win with Charlotte on the stage.

We see another vignette for The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan), who re-debut next week.

Before the next match, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) says it came between two teams both this year and last year. They make fun of Sheamus and Cesaro, then say that this Sunday, their competition will be locked down like the rest.

Jimmy Uso beats Chad Gable following the successful distraction from Jey Uso.

Backstage, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn talk in the locker room. Sami says they are not on Survivor Series, and Owens says it is because Shane has something against them. Owens says there is nobody better than them, and that the only show that matters is the Sami and Kevin Show.

Before the next match, Xavier Woods hypes up Survivor Series. Kofi says The New Day will compete against The Shield, and Big E says in-between The Shield's members have 13 title reigns, while within The New Day is 27 (most of them from Kofi). Kofi wonders why anyone would want to associate with a dog who eats their own poop when unicorns bring magic upon the earth. He then says the difference between The New Day and The Shield is that The New Day can trust each other while The Shield has broken up in the past. Xavier Woods predicts The Shield will have broken up come WrestleMania while The New Day is still together, and Big E says that when Survivor Series rolls around, they will still survive because they rock.

The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods) vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ends in a no-contest. During the match, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) show up in half-Raw, half-Shield shirts, and everyone involved in the match stands their ground as The Shield surrounds the ring. Owens and Sami then roll out of the ring, leaving The New Day high and dry as The Shield go on the attack. The Usos run in to help The New Day. Sheamus and Cesaro then run in through the crowd and get involved, then Raw's Women's team invades the women's locker room and go to town on the blue brand's women's roster. Charlotte is left for last, as Alexa Bliss lays her out with one punch while the rest of Raw's women's team surround her. Meanwhile, more of the Raw roster runs into the ring and gang up on The New Day. SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon runs in with members of the SmackDown roster, and this leads to an all-out brawl between both brands. Suddenly, Raw Commissioner Kurt Angle shows up and brings out Braun Strowman, who goes on a one-man destruction spree against anyone on Team SmackDown. Shane McMahon tries to fight Braun Strowman, but Strowman lays him out. The Shield then get their hands on SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon, then proceed to decimate him in a three-on-one assault where other members of the Raw roster get a few shots in on Shane. The Shield then hold Shane down for Kurt Angle, who asks him how it feels and tells him that if he thinks this bad to wait until Sunday. He gives a thumbs up, followed by a thumbs down, signalling the signature Shield three-man powerbomb. Kurt Angle, The Shield and Braun Strowman stand before Shane, who then lays on the mat. Angle then puts Shane in the Angle Slam. The Shield then puts Shane through one more three-man powerbomb before Kurt Angle is the lone man standing over Shane. The Raw roster then stands at the stage to end the show.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for October 31, 2017

Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. Shane starts the show by talking about Survivor Series, and elaborates on invading Raw. He says that since the beginning, SmackDown Live has always seen Raw as the inferior brand. To break this perception, SmackDown hired Daniel Bryan as a General Manager, went live, and started having fun. They also became the land of opportunity, but that was not quite enough. After a team meeting, it was decided that SmackDown Live would go to Raw and kick them in the mouth. Shane thanks all the SmackDown fans and all of the SmackDown roster, and says that the blue brand has heart. Shane then explains Daniel's visit to Raw to "explain our point of view," and how he was disrespected, set up and beat up by Kane. He asks where Raw General Manager Kurt Angle and Commissioner Stephanie McMahon were then, and says there will be hell to pay. Shane tells Kurt Angle to bring his gold medal, Braun Strowman and three other Superstars, and they will meet Randy Orton, three others, and himself as team captain in their ring. He then starts the show. Shane then starts the show...and the show starts gloriously as Bobby Roode shows up.

Bobby Roode beats Dolph Ziggler two falls to one (2-1) in a two-out-of-three falls match to join the SmackDown Live men's team at Survivor Series. Dolph Ziggler earns the first fall with a superkick to the jaw. Roode earns the second fall after Roode slingshots Ziggler into the corner and rolls him up during the commercial break. Roode scores the third fall after a series of roll-up reversals into a Glorious DDT. After the match, Renee Young interviews Bobby Roode. Roode hopes the next two teammates have passion, competitiveness and compassion as he, Randy Orton and Commissioner Shane McMahon do. He then says "Raw down, SmackDown up...#UnderSiege."

Backstage, The New Day - Xavier Woods (dressed up as Jimmy Hart), Big E (as Akeem the African Dream) and Kofi Kingston (as Brother Love) meet Aiden English and Rusev. As The New Day sing the praises of Halloween, Rusev gets super-serious - saying that the people they are handing candy to could be spies from Raw - and says Halloween is a dumb holiday for dumb kids before he says that only one holiday matters now. Aiden sings "Rusev Day" as Rusev dumps the candy and stomps on it. This leads to Big E challenging Rusev to a match. Rusev accepts without hesitation.

Becky Lynch talks to the rest of the SmackDown Women's Division. She says that they must stand together if they are to beat Raw. James Ellsworth growls and gets sprayed with a water bottle. Suddenly, Natalya shows up. She says it is a shame she is not team captain, as she will be defending the prestige of her title against Alexa Bliss. Natalya says that the thing with teams is that there is always a weak link, and ponders who the weak link is, and tells Becky not to crack, or else she will be to blame when they lose.

Baron Corbin vs. Sin Cara ans when the match gets out of control after Baron Corbin tries to rip Sin Cara's mask off.

Renee Young interviews The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). They have proven they have the tag division on lock, and now they will prove the "B-brand" is the "A-show." Suddenly, Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable. Next week, they have a shot at the SmackDown tag team titles.

Jinder Mahal shows up with The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh). Jinder says that he was unjustly ejected from ringside last week due to the fear of what he would do to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. He says someone else should be feeling that exact same fear: Brock Lesnar, and says the fear is setting in. At Survivor Series, he will conquer The Beast and that he will forever be known as "The Beastmaster." Tonight, there is nothing to fear, as he will be at ringside as Samir Singh beats AJ Styles in his honor. Styles then shows up as Jinder speaks in Punjabi.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles quickly beats Samir Singh. After the match, Jinder Mahal immediately viciously attacks Styles for interrupting him as he spoke to his people along with Sunil Singh.

Kevin Owens is getting ready for his match in the locker room when Sami Zayn shows up. Sami Zayn asks "Can you believe this?" Owens says Commissioner Shane McMahon as SmackDown Live team captain is par for the course for Shane. After Owens accuses Shane of favoritism and giving himself and the people he likes all the opportunities, Sami Zayn says that Shane has screwed him after last week. Owens says he will make it right by beating "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura so he can lead SmackDown Live to victory at Survivor Series. Once that happens, SmackDown Live will become their show.

We see another vignette for The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan).

Before the next match, Aiden English demands complete silence while he sings a Halloween song. Not surprisingly, Aiden English proceeds to bash Halloween and The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Rusev) while praising Rusev Day. They are soon interrupted by The New Day.

Rusev beats Big E after Aiden English sings about Rusev Day. Xavier Woods responds by playing the trombone, and Aiden English attacks him. Kofi Kingston chases Aiden into the ring, and Aiden falls victim to the Big Ending. Rusev then hits Big E with a superkick for the win.

Renee Young interviews Sin Cara. Sin Cara says the mask is a part of him and represents family. The mask is a sign of survival, and tells Baron Corbin he went through hell to earn his mask and that he will go through hell to keep it.

Backstage, Commissioner Shane McMahon is met with by Aiden English. Aiden asks if he is enjoying Rusev Day. Rusev shows up, yelling "Rusev Day," and wants to be on Team SmackDown. Rusev must win a qualifying match next week to join the team, and his opponent is "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.

It's time for Strangerer Things. Fandango feeds someone in a tent some waffles. Tyler Breeze shows up, as does Viktor. All are in costume. Out of the tent comes "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger, dressed in the costume as Breeze. He takes Breeze's waffles. Konnor shows up dressed as Kane. He nearly gets attacked. Suddenly, the lights go out. The only lights are around a picture of The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan). The sound of people getting attacked is heard. We then see a table with an image of a masked person on it. The visage of the masked person says "Let the games begin."

It is announced that Raw General Manager Kurt Angle has mentioned via Twitter that Braun Strowman is the first choice for Raw's men's team. We see Braun's Twitter reply, where he tells Angle he made the right choice.

"The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura beats Kevin Owens and becomes the fourth man on SmackDown Live's men's team after Randy Orton shows up from out of nowhere to stop Sami Zayn from getting even more involved in the match with a back drop to the commentary table, distracting Owens in the process.

Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for October 24, 2017

Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. For the last two weeks, Shane has been going through physical rehabilitation, but he is back and in charge. Survivor Series is quickly approaching, and it is the one time Raw and SmackDown Live compete against each other. Shane says he learned from an early live that if you're going to get in a fight, you strike first. He says that when Angle called him for a replacement for AJ Styles, he let Styles stay an extra night because he had a plan. He says Angle should have known something was up, and should not have insulted his brand's roster. He also says that Angle did not know the roster was lying in wait and ready to strike, and this was when #UnderSiege was unleashed. Shane says Raw was caught by surprise, and SmackDown Live will not, because the blue brand is ready. Suddenly, Sami Zayn shows up and starts dancing around. Sami hopes there are no hard feelings over Hell In A Cell. Shane says there is, but they will deal with that later. He then asks where his physical health was in his logic, and says that he helped Kevin Owens beat him. Sami says that if Shane were a competitor right now, he would take him out in a second and leave him hurting even worse. Sami says that is all for another day, and that he is out here right now because he and Kevin Owens will be part of Survivor Series. He says that he and Owens will carry the load while the rest of the roster follows, and says Shane needs them at Survivor Series. He knows Shane is not stupid - unless he is diving off the top of a cell - and says he and Owens have volunteered their services. Shane says he neither needs or wants him and Owens at Survivor Series, but he will give him an opportunity to join the team. All he has to do is beat his opponent, and whoever wins is the first member of his Survivor Series team. Sami Zayn's opponent is none other than Randy Orton.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) is seen throwing "raw fruit" in the trash can backstage after they see a bunch of fruit on a table with two pieces of paper reading "RAW FRUIT" on them.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods).

Becky Lynch, Tamina and Lana brag about what they did last night to Charlotte and Naomi. It is announced by Carmella, who shows up later, James Ellsworth has gone missing, and General Manager Daniel Bryan makes Charlotte Flair, Naomi, Becky, Tamina and Charlotte the official members of the Women's Survivor Series team. Daniel Bryan says that their team will win. After they all argue over who will beat team captain, Daniel Bryan decrees that all five of them will face each other in the ring, and the winner will be captain.

We see Kurt Angle blowing away The Alliance with the milk truck in 2001, courtesy of Jolly Ranchers.

It's time for Fashion Dogs, a pun on Reservoir Dogs. Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) fight over who is Mr. Pink, then we find James Ellsworth is tied up. Ellsworth tries to bite Fandango, and Carmella shows up, finding James Ellsworth. Fandango opens Carmella's Money In The Bank Briefcase, and inside Carmella's briefcase is James' dirty underwear. Carmella drags James Ellsworth out of there, but The Ascension tells them that The Bludgeon Brothers are still on the loose. Fandango says things are about to get stranger-er. Next week is Stranger-er Things, a pun on Stranger Things.

General Manager Daniel Bryan meets with Commissioner Shane McMahon. Shane tells Daniel, who was not privy to this, about what happened. Daniel does not necessarily agree with his opinion. Shane says that sometimes he has to call his own shots, but Daniel has the feeling he is only here to give input.

Sin Cara beats Baron Corbin by disqualification when Corbin refuses to listen to referee Ryan Tran's five count in the corner. Baron Corbin then hits End of Days at ringside after the match, and another referee tells him to go to the back.

We see a video package of the SmackDown Live roster's attack on Raw last night. We also see post-siege responses from the SmackDown Live roster.

The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh) mock Paul Heyman's intro of Brock Lesnar as they introduce Jinder Mahal. Jinder says there are those who speak the truth, and then there are those like Paul Heyman, who are liars. He then goes on to say that he has earned everything he has achieved in the WWE and is now its most powerful man. However, he still does not have the fans' respect. He may not be a counterpart to Brock Lesnar, but he is still Lesnar's worst nightmare, and at Survivor Series, he will prove why the Maharaja Era has only just begun. As for tonight, Sunil Singh will face "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles...who shows up. Jinder Mahal is ejected from ringside before the match begins.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles quickly beats Sunil Singh with the Calf Crusher.

In the locker room, Sami Zayn is getting ready when Kevin Owens shows up. Next week, Owens has a qualifying match against "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura. Sami says that when they qualify, it will be "Team Kevin and Sami." Owens says "You mean 'Team Sami and Kevin.'"

Jinder Mahal shows up in Daniel Bryan's office, wanting revenge on AJ Styles. Jinder has Samir take on AJ Styles next week. Samir is just as intent to take Styles on.

Becky Lynch beats Carmella, Naomi, Tamina and Charlotte Flair with a Dis-Arm-Her to Carmella to become team captain of the SmackDown Live women's team at Survivor Series.

We see another vignette for The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan).

Renee Young interviews Dolph Ziggler, who then jokes about the art of the WWE interview. He then tells everyone "I told you so" as far as Bobby Roode is involved, and that he doesn't care how they feel. He says nobody cared last week, but he beat Bobby Roode. Roode then shows up. Roode says Ziggler loves to run his mouth, but he loves to fight and he especially loves fighting him. He mentions they both have a win apiece, and proposes a rubber match. Ziggler says he's beaten him once, and says he can beat him twice. This gives Roode an idea of a two-out-of-three falls match. Ziggler accepts the challenge, and says he hopes Roode's ego can handle the embarrassment. Ziggler leaves, then Roode says he has the feeling that next week will be absolutely glorious.

It is mentioned that the two-out-of-three falls match between Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode for next week will determine who is on the men's team.

Despite the distraction by Kevin Owens, Randy Orton beats Sami Zayn with a low blow behind referee Mike Chioda's back followed by an RKO in full view of Kevin Owens. Randy Orton goes on to become a member of SmackDown Live's Survivor Series men's team.

Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan talk backstage. Daniel tells Shane to prepare for the consequences of his actions, as the Raw roster might strike next week.

Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for October 17, 2017

General Manager Daniel Bryan shows up to start tonight's show. D-Bry announces a six woman match with Natalya, Tamina and Lana vs. Naomi, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. There will also be an announcement from WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. Also, Dolph Ziggler will face Bobby Roode in a rematch from Hell In A Cell. Speaking of which, someone's actions from that night disappointed him, and that someone is Sami Zayn. Daniel Bryan does not get to speak for much longer when Sami Zayn shows up. Daniel Bryan questions if the Sami Zayn in front of him, smiling and dancing, is the same man he knew for 13 years. Sami Zayn says he is the same guy, and says he took ownership of his career back. He asks if that makes him a bad guy. He understands if the fans would think that, but he thought Daniel Bryan would understand. Daniel Bryan says he's been in his shoes, but Sami Zayn says they are not the same, as the biggest difference between him and Daniel is that Daniel had the fans. Sami states that the fans are why Daniel Bryan reached the heights he did, but when it came to his career, that didn't happen. Sami Zayn he does not care what the fans think of him anymore, and says it feels amazing. Sami tells Daniel that if he let go of what the fans thought, he would be as happy as he is now and he wouldn't have had to retire. This leads to "Sami sucks!" chants. Sami laughs them off, and says He says it broke his heart more than it did the fans, as Daniel Bryan was "the performer of our generation." He used to try to keep up with his career, which was always two steps ahead, but now Daniel is the last man he wants to emulate. He also goes on to say that Daniel Bryan now has a martyr complex and has turned into a housewife, then Kevin Owens shows up. Owens says he is happy for Sami, having seen the light and listened to what he had to say. He agrees with some of his points, especially the "housewife" and martyr complex points, and says Daniel Bryan has become what he has fought against. After Owens says Daniel Bryan is a hypocrite, Daniel Bryan says he can see through Owens and that Owens only cares for himself. He says Owens resents him because he does what's best for the fans, but Owens says D-Bry is doing what is "best for business." Owens then says that this is proof that Daniel Bryan is "The Authority." Sami Zayn says Owens is right, and calls Daniel Bryan "a sell-out." Sami thanks Owens for opening his eyes, as that is what he could have become. Owens and Sami then hug. Daniel Bryan heads to the back, but Owens says heading to the back is the best Daniel has nowadays. Daniel Bryan then tells Owens and Sami that he is going to the back "to find a couple of dudes who will punch you in the face."

Carmella and James Ellsworth guest on commentary for the next match.

Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Naomi beat Natalya, Tamina and Lana. After the match, Natalya pushes Charlotte into the commentary table and grabs a steel chair, but Charlotte boots it out of Natalya's hands and chases her into the crowd.

General Manager Daniel Bryan runs into Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. They find out they are facing Randy Orton and "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura tonight.

It's time for Pulp Fashion. Fandango interrogates The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor). Tyler Breeze is dancing. They all talk about the hamburger and fries. As The Ascension mention that "2B" are the Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan), Breeze falls victim to a pickle allergy. The Ascension help on the condition that Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) become their friends. Breeze wakes up. It turns out there is no pickle allergy and that the bun was disgusting, because it is gluten-free. Suddenly, the nearby briefcase is found to be missing. The Ascension want to assemble the Fashion Force. Breezango walk away.

Before the next match, Baron Corbin asks the fans if they want to see him defend the United States title. He then says that's too bad, as the only opportunities he cares about are his own. Corbin then states that the US Open Challenge is closed...for good.

We see another vignette for The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan).

We see footage from earlier this week where Jinder Mahal had his homecoming in Mumbai and New Delhi, India.

Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh) show up. Jinder says there are some things you can only experience when you are the Modern Day Maharaja. Last week, he took the WWE Championship to India, and was given a true hero's welcome. He got the best hotels, the finest restaurants, and on the last day, a young child asked him what is next for him. He has beaten the best SmackDown has to offer, but he does not have the same level of respect in America as he does in India. Mahal then says he must beat the most dominant force in WWE. At Survivor Series, he is challenging Brock Lesnar. When he proves The Beast can be slayed, he wants everyone to bow down and kiss his feet. He will show to the people the greatness that is in front of him, and he will become the greatest WWE Champion of all time. Suddenly, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up. Styles reminds Mahal that he has yet to beat him. Mahal admits Styles is correct, but he insists there is no worthy competition on SmackDown Live, and calls Styles a loser. Styles then asks that if he is a loser, then Jinder has no problem defending the WWE title against him. Jinder says Styles is not worthy of being in the same ring as him in India. Styles tells him they're not in India. He says Styles is at the back of the line, and that he is delusional for challenging him for the WWE Championship. Jinder unbuttons his suit as he asks Styles if he knows who he is. Styles immediately throws fisticuffs and comes out on top. Jinder and The Singh Brothers retreat.

Backstage, Jinder Mahal tells General Manager Daniel Bryan about what has happened with AJ Styles. After Daniel Bryan asks Jinder what he's going to do, Jinder says Sunil Singh will challenge AJ Styles. Daniel says this is a phenomenal idea, and makes the match official for next week.

Dolph Ziggler beats Bobby Roode after grabbing the tights during a schoolboy pin.

Next week on Raw: Brock Lesnar responds to Jinder Mahal's challenge.

Aiden English is singing backstage when he encounters two men working out how to do something on a cellphone. He says that they wouldn't be on their phone for Shakespeare, and asks why they would be on the phone for him. When he asks who is up to their musical standards, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) suddenly busts in, dancing around, throwing cereal and playing trombone. Suddenly, Rusev shows up and says it is not a new day; instead, it is Rusev Day. Xavier Woods celebrates by playing his entrance theme on trombone as the New Day craziness continues, then The New Day leaves. Aiden English tries to leave again, but Rusev is no longer in the mood for it.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn beat "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton after Sami Zayn hits Orton with a blatant low blow as referee Charles Robinson is dealing with Kevin Owens. After the match, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn laugh at General Manager Daniel Bryan at gorilla position. When Sami Zayn asks what he is going to do next week, he says it's not up to him; it's up to Commissioner Shane McMahon. Afterwards, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn celebrate on the stage, saying they are the best. Owens say they are SmackDown Live, and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 14, 2016

During the pre-show, Sami Zayn is in the long when Bo Dallas shows up, saying that he was passed up to bring the Intercontinental Championship to Raw. Dallas says that Sami will fall, and that only he Bolieves in Bo. Sami tells him he earned his shot, but tells Bo that if he has something to prove, then he should do it against him in the ring tonight.

Charly Caruso reports from the arena on the pre-show. She mentions that there is tension on both the men's and women's Survivor Series teams on Raw, and believe that Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon's appearance is giving Team SmackDown Live an edge. Mick Foley says that he has a plan, but we'll have to wait to see what it is.

The show begins with all of Team Raw's members on the entrance ramp as Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley on the ring. Steph says Team Raw is the best, and that they have the chance to prove it on Sunday. She announces that SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon and SmackDown Live Daniel Bryan will be here tonight. Foley says that there is a lot to prove between the members of Team Raw, as does Stephanie McMahon, and Stephanie says there will be serious changes if they don't. Tonight, Sheamus and Cesaro will take on Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens. Also, the team of Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and Braun Strowman will take on The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods). For the women's division, Charlotte and Sasha Banks will have to put aside their differences and face Alicia Fox and Nia Jax, who also have differences to put aside, in a tag team match. Sheamus and Cesaro vs. Owens and Reigns is up next.

Despite not being the best of partners, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens beat Sheamus and Cesaro.

Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and Braun Strowman glare at each other backstage. Jericho says that Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens won their match, and they didn't have to fight at all. Jericho wants team unity for their match, and to foster it, he gives them a token of their appreciation: scarves. Rollins isn't a scarf guy, and hands his scarf back to Jericho before walking away. Braun asks for Jericho's scarf so he can rip it up just to tell Jericho he doesn't scarves...or him.

Sami Zayn beats Bo Dallas. Byron Saxton interviews Sami after the match, who says that this is the opportunity of a lifetime, and regardless of whoever he has to beat, he will bring the Intercontinental title back to Raw.

The Cruiserweight Division is backstage when The Brian Kendrick makes his presence known. He says he will retain the Cruiserweight title and be the standard bearer of the division. Already, TJ Perkins, Rich Swann and Noam Dar have something aganist him. Sin Cara tells Kendrick that Kalisto will be a respectable champion, and tells Kendrick to save himself. This starts an argument between the two men.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) introduces the WWE Universe to Francesca II Turbo as well as The New Day Survival Kit, which is full of New Day merchandise.

Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and Braun Stromwan beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods). After the match, Jericho proclaims he's team captain now, and Rollins responds by hitting him with a Pedigree.

Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley talk backstage, saying the show is going better than they imagined. Paul Heyman shows up, applauding the both of them. After some fat shaming from Stephanie, he says that Brock Lesnar will tear Bill Goldberg apart, but also says that SmackDown Live's Survivor Series team is looking "pretty, pretty good." Foley calls security to ensure the face-to-face meeting with Lesnar and Goldberg happens.

Sasha Banks and Charlotte talk backstage. It is obvious that they do not get along the entire time that they speak, even though they are a team tonight.

Brian Kendrick beats Sin Cara.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass meet Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) backstage. Not only can both teams not get along, but insults are exchanged.

Security guards make a line across the center of the ring as Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg takes place. Goldberg tells Paul Heyman to get the "rent-a-cops" out of the ring so he and Lesnar can get it on. Also, whenever Paul Heyman speaks, Goldberg tells him to shut up. Heyman tells Goldberg that security is there for his protection, so Lesnar won't tear him apart. Goldberg tells Heyman that there is a long list of people that Lesnar has conquered, but he's not on it. He has heard what Lesnar has said about his family, and tells Lesnar to shove that list up his ass. He also tells Heyman that if his family is ever mentioned again, he'll rip his head off and feed it to Lesnar. Heyman says that the tagline for Survivor Series is "Fantasy warfare just got real," and gives Goldberg an offer: go back to the fantasy world so he can find a suitable replacement for his client. Goldberg tears his shirt off, or else Lesnar will beat him beyond recognition that his son will call Lesnar "daddy." Goldberg loses his cool and fights all of security, then Brock Lesnar teases getting in the ring only to leap off the apron and walk away.

Bayley guests on commentary for the next match.

Sasha Banks and Charlotte beat Alicia Fox and Nia Jax. Bayley gives Sasha a hug after the match, but Charlotte isn't interested.

Raw General Manager Mick Foley has Raw's men's team backstage, and tells them they proved they could get along despite their differences. He expects them to repeat tonight's success at Survivor Series.

Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson beat The Golden Truth (Goldust and R-Truth) and The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) after Gallows and Anderson allow Enzo Amore to set up the Badaboomshakalaka only to take the pin from under him.

Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and Raw General Manager Mick Foley are in the ring, and are quickly joined by SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon and SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan. Shane says nothing has changed on Raw, and that SmackDown Live is a land of opportunity. Stephanie calls Shane a hypocrite for taking a spot on the SmackDown Live men's team and that people only like him for his more hardcore antics. Daniel Bryan says he put Shane on the team because he is a real leader who knows how to bring people together, and can get as wild and as crazy as anybody else. Daniel Bryan also says thanks for putting the Cruiserweight Division on the line. Foley mentions the progress that Raw's Women's division has mentioned. Stephanie and Shane argue over how the other leads, then Stephanie brings out the Raw men's team (Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho), and wishes him good luck and she and Foley leave. Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon are surrounded, but they bring out the Team SmackDown Live men's team (AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Shane McMahon, James Ellsworth), who come out of the crowd and face off with Team Raw. AJ Styles and Kevin Owens argue about their respective championships, and reminds Kevin Owens that Jericho will stab him in the back the same way he did him. AJ Styles, his hair and James Ellsworth all make The List, and Bray Wyatt confronts Braun Strowman for "abandoning him and his brothers" and says he must destroy the monster that they created before Randy Orton and Strowman stare down. Dean Ambrose then starts a brawl between both teams to end the show, which ends with Roman and Seth tossing Styles powerbomb style out of the ring into the rest of Team SmackDown Live.
