Smackdown Live kicks off with General Manager Paige. She welcomes back Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch as the champion comes out to a loud ovation.

Becky says after she attacked Raw, she bled, she fought and she won. And she showed up the next night to fight at Survivor Series as well, but she was being held back. But no more. She is done watching. She says she is back in the game. She calls out Charlotte Flair.

Lynch tells Charlotte that she asked Charlotte to stepped up but Becky says it took Charlotte channeling her inner Becky to take it to Ronda Rousey. Charlotte says she wasn’t trying to be Becky but she was being Charlotte Flair, the 7 time women’s champion. And the only woman on either roster capable of giving Ronda the beating she deserves. Charlotte says she is more capable because she is genetically superior. And she has the mindset to do any solitary thing possible to get the job done.

Becky calls Charlotte a bootleg Becky but at least she isn’t pretending anymore. Charlotte says Nia must have hit Becky harder than she thought because she’s delusional. Becky is the one copying her father and the one riding her coat tails. Charlotte tells Ronda that the queen stands out in the crowd and she will be at TLC and she was the one born ready. Charlotte tells Becky she fought for herself, not for Becky because she couldn’t. And she would fight her right now. Paige breaks it up and says she likes the desire shown by Charlotte and no one has that desire.

Paige says at TLC it will be Charlotte against Becky Lynch for the Smackdown women’s title. But that’s not all. Because it will be a tables, ladder and chairs match.

Mandy Rose’s music hits as Mandy comes out with Zelina Vega, Sonya Deville and The IIconics. Mandy says it’s a joke that no one has shown the desire that Charlotte has. The reality is that anyone of them could have done the same thing to Ronda. Mandy says Paige left Absolution and all she does is give opportunities to her old friends.

Naomi’s music hits and she comes out with Lana, Asuka and Carmella. Naomi says she couldn’t help but over hear what Mandy was saying and they agree. Naomi says anyone of them can be champion. Becky says she will take them all out. Paige says this is the passion she is talking about. She announces every woman tonight will be in a battle royal and the winner will be added to Becky Lynch and Charlotte at TLC.

The Usos are backstage and says how they are the one true tag team.

AJ STyles addresses Daniel Bryan

Out comes the former WWE champion AJ Styles. He says that for 14 days, he has been without the WWE title. And thsoe 14 days seem a lot longer than the 371 days that he did have the title. AJ says no one likes to lose, he hates losing but it’s the way which he lost that bothers him.

Clips of Smackdown Live from 2 weeks ago air where Daniel Bryan hit AJ Styles with a low blow.

AJ says when he became champion, he knew there would be a target on his back but who knew that target would move to some where else as AJ looks towards his groin area. AJ says what bothered him was what happened after the match where Bryan hit him in the face over and over again. Styles says he watched from home as Daniel Bryan explained his actions.

Clips of last week’s Smackdown airs where Daniel Bryan says that the Yes movement is dead.

AJ says that sounded like a lot of trash. The old Daniel Bryan or the new Daniel Bryan, it has the same face for him and he can’t wait to smash his face in. Styles says they don’t have to wait for TLC, they can do it right now. But here’s the thing, Daniel Bryan is not there tonight. And the live events they had the past week, he wasn’t there.

AJ Styles says it looks like someone is watching Raw and getting ideas of how things are done there. But this is not Raw, this is the house that AJ Styles built. And while he was champion, he never missed a live event, a PPV or Smackdown Live. Styles tells Bryan to make sure he is at TLC and he can bring his dreams and excuses but most importantly not to forget the WWE title because it belongs to him.

Joe says his only consolation is that people like him never change and the demons never go away. And the next time Jeff feels powerless and there will be a next time, as a friend, he is offering him his hand. It’s a simple one step program.

Jeff tells Joe no matter what he says, he can’t rain on his parade tonight. He walked a tight rope for 20 years but he still lived for the moment and why don’t they make one right now. Joe drops the microphone but heads to the back.
