SmackDown Hotel! - Thursday Night 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!
