WWE Smackdown

* John Cena comes out first and to a surprisingly loud (and somewhat unified) pop. He asks to face Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match on the program, but is interrupted by  The Shield. They beat Cena mercilessly, until Mark Henry comes in for the save, then the both of them get attacked and abused by the Shield.

WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E. Langston then comes out and the faces get the upper hand on Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns. Kane then arrives to make the matches for the show. Langston vs. Ambrose, Reigns vs. Henry, and Rollins vs. Cena.

1.) The Wyatt Family (w/Bray Wyatt) def. The Usos. Bray hit the ring after the match was over to hit “Sister Abigail” and end the segment.

* WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton is interviewed by Renee Young. Dolph Ziggler interrupts him however, and a Kane makes a match between the two of them for later on in the program.

2.) Antonio Cesaro def. Cody Rhodes.

3.) Prime Time Players def. Curtis Axel / Ryback.

4.) *WWE World Heavyweight Champion* Randy Orton def. Dolph Ziggler. Orton wins a great match with the RKO.

6.) Big E. Langston def. Dean Ambrose.
