Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 3, 2015
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. They say that a table is a terrible thing to waste, and the backbone of human achievement. They would not be here without the support of good, honest, hard-working American tables. The first Thanksgiving at Plymouth was celebrated on a table. The Declaration of Independence was written and signed on a table. Walter Cronkite announced the moon landing while sitting at a table. The New Day signed their contracts at a table. They say The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) has zero regard for tables, and that they and the WWE Universe can change that by joining the #SaveTheTables movement. The "Save The Tables" chant is spoiled by the entrance of The Dudley Boyz themselves, and tell them they forgot to mention the moment where Xavier Woods went through a table, and The New Day hide the table as they approach the ring. Bubba Ray says that history has a way of repeating itself, and that he and D-Von will become ten-time tag team champions. The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) show up, saying they've earned their keep as well as their rematch for the tag team titles, and tell The Dudleys to go back to the end of the line. Bubba Ray and D-Von have to remind the Players exactly who they are, then the Players announce that they have a gift: two tickets to Dudleyville for right about now. This starts a match between the Dudleys and the Players, and The New Day guest on commentary.
The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil). After the match, Kofi Kingston and Big E get away with the bubble wrapped table while Xavier Woods sneaks into the ring and smacks D-Von Dudley on the back of the head before retreating.
Renee Young interviews The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods)...and they find out they have a match tonight with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, which puts an end to Xavier Woods' joyous trombone playing.
Stardust vs. Neville ends before it can even start when Neville is attacked from behind by The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor), much to the happiness of Stardust. Stardust tells Neville he's flying too close to the sun, and announces The Ascension as his newest cohorts. Konnor and Viktor hit the Fall of Man on Neville, and Stardust welcomes him to the cosmic wasteland.
Jojo interviews Cesaro. He plans to make up for his loss against Kevin Owens on Monday night by beating Sheamus...who shows up with his new "It is...what it is" catchphrase. Sheamus calls Cesaro a letdown who keeps leading the "Cesaro Section" on and on and on. Cesaro responds by telling Sheamus that he agrees with the WWE Universe and that he indeed looks stupid. Sheamus says the match tonight should be very entertaining.
Sheamus beats Cesaro.
It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's guests are Dolph Ziggler and Lana, but before he brings them out, he brings out Summer Rae, whom he calls "the real victim" in what's going on between Ziggler, Lana, Rusev and Summer. Summer repeats her claims that she made to Renee Young earlier this week on Raw...then admits she lied. Miz asks if what she said earlier this week was a complete fabrication, Summer says there's actually more. She says that Ziggler brought her close in his arm and kissed her, and that it went from passion to guilt because she has the most amazing man in Rusev and she was seduced by Ziggler, which caused her to run out of his locker room as quickly as she could. Ziggler and Lana show up as Summer speaks. The Miz tells Ziggler and Lana to calm down, and tells everyone to act like adults on his show. Ziggler makes it clear that he and Lana trust each other, and Summer responds by saying she and him have had a thing for a while now. Ziggler denies that, but Summer responds with some footage from June 2014, when she dropped Fandango to kiss Ziggler, and Ziggler kissed her back. When Summer keeps insisting that she and Ziggler still have a thing, Lana attacks Summer, then walks away from Ziggler as quickly as possible. Summer screams at Lana, calling her a bitch and saying that she can't handle the truth.
Bo Dallas beats R-Truth. Dallas attacks R-Truth after the match for laughing at the replay of Dallas receiving an F5 at the hands of Brock Lesnar.
Renee Young interviews Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch), and congratulates Charlotte for becoming the new #1 contender for the Divas title. Charlotte credits Paige and Becky Lynch for being where she is right now, and Paige and Becky congratulate Charlotte for getting the shot and putting the target on Nikki Bella, with Becky saying that if one of them succeeds, they all succeed. Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) shows up, saying that she will be the longest-reigning Divas Champion in WWE history. Charlotte bursts Nikki's bubble, saying that she asked Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to make the match happen before she breaks the record. If Charlotte gets her way and Nikki Bella loses the title, Nikki also loses the record.
Charlotte beats Tamina. After the match, Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) pose at the top of the entrance ramp with the BellaTron ticking down the seconds until Nikki becomes the longest-reigning Divas champ.
Renee Young interviews Kevin Owens. Owens has another movement he'd like to silence: people who look down upon him for how he looks, which he admits people have done for over 15 years and has never stopped him...and it still won't now.
Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns vs The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) ends after Xavier Woods interferes, and Ambrose and Reigns respond by cleaning house. After the match, Ambrose calls out Braun Strowman, wanting another crack at him. Roman calls out The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Strowman), but Luke Harper shows up on the TitanTron, as does Bray Wyatt. Wyatt finds it funny how the puppets pull the strings, and says that he's calling all the shots and making all the moves, just the way he likes it. He makes it official for Night of Champions, and tells Ambrose it will be his doomsday. He says that the apocalypse walks among them in the form of a black sheep. Braun Strowman is shown. He takes off the black sheep mask and tells Ambrose and Reigns to run.
Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for September 2, 2015
Jeff and Karen Jarrett show up with the Global Force Wrestling roster. He tells Dixie Carter that he tried to help her, and he did help her with the TNA-GFW super-show. Karen then tells Jeff that she did what she did and that it needed to be done because she wanted to make sure he got what he deserved, saying she knows how much Jeff loves TNA as well as his family, and says she asked Chris Adonis to take out Bully Ray and Drew Galloway. Jeff then thanks Karen personally for "setting the wheels in motion" so he can take back what is his and starting a corporate hostile takeover. He plans to start another wrestling empire, and TNA - which he still has partial ownership in - is right in the center of it. He tells Dixie and "the boys in the back" that nobody can compete with the GFW roster, and they're going to prove it. Chris "The Adonis" Mordetzky takes the microphone and says that the GFW is not impressed with what the TNA locker room has to offer. He challenges anyone in the TNA locker room to come to the ring and face him. Lashley answers the challenge.
Lashley beats Chris "The Adonis" Mordetzky by disqualification when the Global Force Wrestling attacks Lashley after he lands the Spear on Mordetzky. The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) try to help Lashley out, but they are easily overcome by the numbers game. Jeff Jarrett asks his wife Karen Jarrett to come out with "the little special surprise."
We find out that Jeff and Karen Jarrett's "little special surprise" is the Feast or Fired Briefcase containing the shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championships. The briefcase was taken and held by Magnus, who since left TNA to go to GFW, and Karen says that Magnus gave the briefcase to her. Jeff Jarrett primes Brian Myers and Trevor Lee to take the tag team titles, but Earl Hebner refuses to cash in the briefcase for Jarrett. Jarrett and Hebner fight, and Jarrett easily overpowers him. A few members of the GFW roster bring a reluctant Steve Stifler in to cash in the briefcase and referee the match.
Brian Myers and Trevor Lee beat The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships after Eddie Edwards is hit in the head with the Feast or Fired Briefcase by the rest of the Global Wrestling Force roster.
Bobby Roode could care less about the choas being caused by Global Force Wrestling in the ring, and is tired of being disrespected. He plans to take the King of the Mountain title from PJ Black.
Jeremy Borash interviews Ethan Carter III and Tyrus. After some youth literature puns involving The Hardy Boys and Choose Your Own Adventure, EC3 says he plans to retain against Matt Hardy and tells Jeff Hardy he likes his coffee hot, his women brunettes, and both his title reign and undefeated streak intact.
Dixie Carter has entered the arena...
Before the next match, Bobby Roode tells PJ Black to look around the arena and tells him that this is TNA, that he's a TNA original and that he has built everything he sees before him for the last 10+ years...and that he's earned the respect that he's been given. Roode doesn't know what's going on with Global Force Wrestling, but this is his, TNA's and the fans' house, and he promises to kick his ass and become King of the Mountain Champion.
Bobby Roode beats PJ Black to win the TNA King of the Mountain Championship after Drew Galloway stops Sonjay Dutt from interfering in the match. After the match, Jeff Jarrett and the Global Force Wrestling roster rush into the ring, but Roode gets out of dodge. Jarrett tells Dixie Carter that he and GFW aren't leaving until he takes back what is his and - according to Jarrett - stole from him. Dixie Carter shows up, flabbergasted at Jarrett's accusations, and tells him that all she wanted was to work by his side. Jarrett says he and Carter were a very successful team until she took his power and replaced him a series of failed regimes. He says the days of failed regimes are over, and that GFW will complete the take-over. Carter reminds Jarrett that he left TNA and she has stayed in the fight that continues to this day, and that Jarrett removed himself from power, not her. Dixie admits Jarrett taught her a lot about wrestling, but that he also taught her a lot about ego, especially when he took his ball and went home. Carter acknowledges Jarrett still has ownership in the company, and proposes a match where she puts her ownership at stake and the winner gets both her majority shares and Jarrett's shares in the company. Jarrett is willing to take the challenge, but says Dixie has nobody behind her. Drew Galloway shows up again, and tells Jarrett that he and GFW can go straight to hell, and that he's here to stand up for Dixie and TNA. The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) and Lashley, show up when Galloway says that if they want a hostile take-over, they're "going to have to go through all of us." Galloway deems them "Team TNA," and tells Jarrett and GFW to fashion the white flag of surrender.
Backstage, Jeff Jarrett tells the Global Force Wrestling roster to keep the fight going.
The 2016 TNA Knockouts Calendar is available right now at TNA Shop.
Kenny King is in the ring. He says he has been going through a bit of an identity crisis in the past year, and has come to the realization that he doesn't want to be the king who sukcer punches a man when he's not looking, relies on outside interference, and doesn't take orders and happens to be a leader. He decides to bring back Open Fight Night (in a way) and issues an open challenge to anyone in the back, regardless of whether they're from TNA or Global Force Wrestling. Bram answers the challenge, and both men take the fight to the ramp before the bell can even ring.
Bram beats Kenny King.
Jeremy Borash interviews The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). They know that Ethan Carter III loves to play the manipulator, and Matt says that Jeff's belief in him fuels him. Matt plans to take the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from EC3.
Velvet Sky shows up. She says that she's been keeping to herself ever since her return due to the changing landscape of TNA and the Knockouts Division. She says she's changed with it, then addresses The Dollhouse (Taryn Terrell, Jade, Marti Bell, Rebel), which she says is more out of control than ever before. She calls out Taryn, saying that she's going to make her wish she never knew her. Taryn appears...on the TitanTron. Taryn is tired of being compared to her, and says she's never crossed path her because she'd destroy her on every level. She tells Velvet that The Dollhouse will tear her apart, and sics them on Velvet. Velvet tells them that they didn't bring enough people with them, and decides to fight them anyway. Not surprisingly, she falls victim to the numbers game, but all of a sudden, Angelina Love and Madison Rayne show up and even the odds. The Beautiful People have fully re-united, and make it crystal clear to The Dollhouse that they're back for them.
Backstage, Dixie Carter tells Drew Galloway, Lashley and The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) that she has to put it all on the line and take complete control of the company.
Ethan Carter III retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Matt Hardy, after a low blow that the ref could not see when EC3 was pushed into him. As per the stipulations of the match, Jeff Hardy has to be EC3's personal assistant. Jeff reluctantly raises EC3's hand in victory.
Lashley beats Chris "The Adonis" Mordetzky by disqualification when the Global Force Wrestling attacks Lashley after he lands the Spear on Mordetzky.
