Kane shows up to start tonight's show. He says that the Royal Rumble - his favorite event of the year - is nine days away, and thirty lost souls will put their minds, bodies and souls on the line for the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to compete at WrestleMania. He says that the match puts one through hell, but the reward is immortality. He talks about holding the record for most eliminations ever, and says he knows the importance of achieving this immortality. Kane also talks about how the hope of those he eliminates disappears when their feet hit the ground because of him, and admits that it was a lot of fun. Suddenly, Bray Wyatt shows up on the TitanTron. Bray is surprised to see Kane, then shames him for finding fun in another person's misery and tells him to take the time to say he is sorry before saying that he is glad to see him. Bray then announces that Ramblin' Rabbit is alive, well and recovering nicely, then we see Rambin' Rabbit on an IV feed briefly before trying to dissuade Kane away from taking part in the men's Royal Rumble match. Bray then realizes he has Kane's picture on the wall, then remembers that The Fiend and Kane squared off in the ring. Bray then says he will never forgive Kane, and neither will The Fiend. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Kane is out of the ring, but The Fiend comes out from underneath it. Kane turns around and looks at The Fiend, unperturbed, and asks "What took you so long?" All of a sudden, The Fiend is hit with a running drop kick by Daniel Bryan, and The Fiend tries to escape back underneath the ring. The Fiend escapes, but Daniel Bryan pulls out a few of The Fiend's dreadlocks in the process. Kane then partakes in "Yes!" chants along with Daniel Bryan in the ring.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Daniel Bryan, who says that The Fiend is only best at disappearing and running away, and that there is a way to beat someone who disappears every time he is in trouble. He admits it is not a good or smart idea, and proposes a Strap Match against The Fiend where both men go to war until one man wins. He knows that The Fiend will tear him apart, but he is done with his mind games and running. He says that The Fiend changed him, but at Royal Rumble, he will change The Fiend and win the WWE Universal Championship.

Elias is in the ring. He says he has learned a lot about himself in the past year, and while he is the embodiment of WWE, he cannot do it on his own, and he needs the fans. He says there must be a truth that rings out from every voice in every arena if he is to go where he needs to go, then performs a song he calls "Walkin' in Greensboro." Before he can get started however, Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesrao and Sami Zayn interrupt him. Sami says what he has to say is far more important than Elias' song, that Shinsuke Nakamura does not back down from a fight and that Strowman is not getting a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Sami says that he calls the shots and that Strowman is not in the position to demand anything, especially with the Royal Rumble on the horizon, then lets Elias go back to his song. Elias stops Sami, saying he was writing a song as Sami was talking called "Sami Zayn Needs To Shut His Damn Mouth" before deciding to perform it. Sami stops Elias before he can even get that song started, then sics Cesaro on him to show what happens to "funny guys."

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for December 20, 2019

Daniel Bryan shows up to start tonight's show. Daniel says he doesn't know what happened to him, and that he felt "The Fiend" viscerally rip out his beard and hair, and all he noticed is that the brand he created was gone, and when his daughter saw him without the long hair and beard, she cried. He says that while his daughter did not recognize him, he recognized himself, as he saw the man who had never been given opportunity, which became the man who kicked Bray Wyatt's ass. Daniel says that Bray Wyatt may have succeeded at changing him, but he will change Bray Wyatt, too, and calls out Bray saying that he will make him feel pain that he is unable to feel. Instead of Bray, Daniel gets The Miz. The Miz tells Daniel Bryan that what happened to him may have been awful, but Bray Wyatt attacked his family and that TLC was about protecting his family, which is something that Bray will never have. Miz says that Bray has nothing but puppets in his fantasy world, and that he will take away the one thing he treasures most: the Universal title. Suddenly, King Corbin shows up. Corbin mocks what The Miz was put through by Bray Wyatt, and says that if The Miz's daughter had a few more of his wife's genes, it would not have been as scary. He also makes fun of Daniel Bryan's daughter not recognizing Daniel, and says that Daniel's brand is failure. Corbin boasts about his win at TLC last Sunday, and "Here is your winner...King Corbin" is played over and over again before Corbin says that the next Universal Championship shot belongs to him, not Miz or Daniel.

Carmella beats Sonya Deville with the Code of Silence.

We hear from Sheamus, who says that all things that change and that change is good for the soul, but that change was not good for SmackDown because the soul left with him and SmackDown became soft, weak and small as a result. He then says that change will happen once again, because he is back to battle for the soul of SmackDown.

He then says SmackDown will be his to rule as sole leader when he puts Roman in his place. Corbin then says he has seen all the promos of Roman Reigns coming to tonight's show "unchained," then says that a scared little dog runs away when unchained.

Ziggler says that for once in his life, Roman was the locker room leader that he said he was only for Corbin to put him down. Corbin says it is the dawn of a new day, and that anyone who stands in his and Ziggler's way will be forced to bow down. As Ziggler asks everyone to hail Corbin, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) show up. Big E says he and Kofi could not help but overhear Corbin talking about "ruling an imaginary kingdom" and uttering their name, then Corbin mocks Kofi losing the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar. Kofi then says he still considers himself a champion of the people - something he is proud of - and while he admits that Corbin had a good year, he had a better one as WWE Champion. Kofi then says he did not whine and complain on social media after losing the WWE title, and that he picked himself up, dusted himself off and kept moving forward, and now The New Day are seven-time tag team champions.

Suddenly, Elias plays his guitar, and Bayley gets irritated with him.

Tonight's show opens with Miz TV. The Miz says Daniel Bryan was supposed to be his guest, but after what happened last week, that is not going to be the case, as Daniel Bryan has disappeared. He admits that he has known Daniel Bryan since he first stepped foot in WWE, and while they have not seen eye-to-eye and may never be friends, he knows he means a lot of the fans, and that everyone saw the real Daniel Bryan and the re-emergence of the Yes! Movement. However, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt ruined everything, and seems to have put an end to that. While he does not like Daniel Bryan, he does care, and he will get to the bottom of what happened to Daniel Bryan. Suddenly, Bray Wyatt shows up on the TitanTron and tells Miz he does not want to know what happened, and that even he himself does not want to know, as Daniel may be with "The Fiend," who may not be done with Daniel just yet. Bray says Daniel was going to play with him at TLC, but now he is not so sure that will happen anymore, and invites Miz to play with him instead.

Maverick smacks Elias in the face and walks away, and when Brooke asks for confirmation as to whether this happened, Elias says no, and that something will eventually happen.

Drake Maverick is now in the ring. He is not happy that everyone finds his life a joke and that everybody - including Elias - finds this funny, then says nobody makes a mockery out of him, his marriage or his wife before calling Elias out for a fight. Elias shows up with Dana Brooke, then gets in the ring with Drake Maverick, who is easily overpowered - and embarrassed - by Elias, who proceeds to spank him. After Elias punts Maverick out of the ring, Dana tosses Maverick back into the ring so that Elias can hit Maverick with Drift Away. Dana then "pins" Maverick with her foot, and Elias makes the "count."

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Roman Reigns. Roman says he goes about his business the same way every night, and if Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler can't handle it, that's on them.

Shane says it is no coincidence that he is being served with legal papers while Owens is in the audience, and he asks security to let Owens in. He also asks for Owens to have a mic and enter the ring as security stands in front of Shane. Shane then asks security to step out, and announces that he has been served with the largest wrongful termination lawsuit in history. He says that Owens would be awarded $25 million if he were to win, and says that Owens is swimming where he shouldn't be. Shane tells Owens his case is weak, but Owens says he has a strong case, stating that Shane ruined SmackDown Live by making it his personal playground and making his life a living hell by fining him $100,000 for beating up a crooked referee and attacking him while he was a referee last week because he lost against Chad Gable before firing him for insubordination.

After that, Shane tried to take away his life's work and his family's future, which he states does not work with him.

He then states that he stands exonerated of all the attacks on Roman Reigns before focusing on Erick Rowan, saying that he saw Rowan and his potential, intelligence and talent when no one else did, and treated him as an equal and a friend. Suddenly, Rowan shows up and tells Daniel to stop, saying that he is tired of hearing him speak and that he was always standing behind him, never allowed to talk as Daniel tried to make him a follower.

Daniel dares him to do something about it, as nothing will hurt worse than him destroying their friendship. Daniel is then attacked from behind by Luke Harper.

After calling Bayley "an afterthought" and stating that the SmackDown Women's Championship is an afterthought because of Bayley, Bayley shows up and tells Charlotte that her words sound like a bunch of excuses. She then says that at the end of the day, she is the champion, which proves that she is better than Charlotte and that it eats Charlotte up inside.

He says that while Shane's title of "Best In The World" is far from reality as can be, SummerSlam will be a night he will never forget as his entire family got to see him in an arena full of people wanting him to beat Shane's ass, which is exactly what he did. He then goes on to say that he will always remember hitting Owens with the Stunner in the middle of the ring that night.
