June 14 , 2013 Smackdown results The June 14 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on June 11 , 2013 at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro , North Carolina . Summary . With both the United States and WWE Tag Team Titles on the line in two days at WWE Payback , “ The Hounds of Justice ” were handed their first clean defeat , while Chris Jericho & Alberto Del Rio battled World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston and Divas Champion Kaitlyn made a costly mistake . Daniel Bryan opened SmackDown , reflecting on the greatness of Team Hell No before calling his partner , Kane , to the ring to discuss their recent differences . Things quickly turned awkward when it seemed like Bryan was attempting to “ break up ” with The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon . When Bryan made the mistake of stating that Kane might actually be the “ weak link ” of Team Hell No , the submission specialist nearly suffered a chokeslam . But Randy Orton interrupted , promising to RKO The Big Red Monster if he attacked his partner before their WWE Tag Team Title Match this Sunday . Orton ’ s threat only served to further fuel the fires between the three volatile Superstars . As they continued to argue , The Shield appeared on the TitanTron , stating that their SmackDown main event showdown would end the same way it always does – with a “ Hounds of Justice ” victory over their bickering opposition . Before Sheamus ’ match against Antonio Cesaro could begin , The Celtic Warrior ’ s WWE Payback Kickoff opponent , Damien Sandow , promised that their pay - per - view contest would serve as an Irish wake for the three - time World Champion . Sheamus would ultimately reign supreme over the scary strong Cesaro in the absolutely brutal showdown that followed , hitting the Brogue Kick from out of nowhere for the definitive three - count . As the victorious Irishman celebrated at the top of the ramp , however , The Intellectual Savior of the Masses reemerged and blind - sided Sheamus , sending a painful message to his pay - per - view foe . Poised to defend his World Heavyweight Title at WWE Payback against Alberto Del Rio , Dolph Ziggler returned to SmackDown to express his frustration over competing in a tag team match against Jericho and his Mexican challenger . Nevertheless , that didn ’ t stop The Showoff from sending his No . 1 contender an incendiary message . Nor did it stop Big E Langston from eating half of Senior Advisor Theodore Long ’ s gi - normous “ Super Bacon Cheese Thickburger ” from Hardees – the restaurant sponsoring the latest episode of the blue brand . When Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre attacked Hornswoggle outside the ring , the competing Great Khali reached over the ropes and chopped Mahal to the floor . The distraction , however , allowed Heath Slater to take over and hit the DDT for a huge upset win over The Punjabi Playboy . In the face of incredible opposition from Ziggler & Big E – and not to mention a bit of interference from AJ Lee – the crafty Del Rio played possum in the final moments of a fierce tag team match and caught the unsuspecting World Heavyweight Champion in a small package for the pin ! Will this prove to be the difference in the Mexican Superstar ’ s World Title Match this Sunday ? Check out photos of Del Rio & Y2J ' s huge win Afterward , Renee Young interviewed the victorious Chris Jericho backstage about his imminent clash at WWE Payback against a returning CM Punk . Paul Heyman interrupted , explaining why Y2J would lose the battle of the “ Best in the World . ” Jericho quickly put a stop to the talk , though , using Young ’ s microphone to smack Heyman and , amazingly , rendering the manager , voiceless . While Kaitlyn was set to face Aksana one - on - one , the Divas Champion snapped when she noticed her Lithuanian opponent laughing at a replay from Monday ’ s Raw , in which AJ Lee embarrassed the titleholder by revealing herself as the former bodybuilder ’ s secret admirer . While the subsequent chaos assured that the match would never officially take place , the real problem came when Kaitlyn struck a WWE referee and left Senior Advisor Theodore Long no choice but to fine her $ 10 , 000 for her actions . Prior to his match against Curtis Axel , Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett tried to persuade Paul Heyman , “ businessman to businessman , ” to call off their fight so close to WWE Payback . But when The Miz stirred the proverbial pot , Barrett and Curtis decided to follow through on their pending battle . It wasn ’ t long before the action spilled outside the ring , where Barrett threw a charging Axel into Miz . But , as the English Superstar was reentering the ring , Axel was able to beat him to the punch and put down The Barrett Barrage with a swinging neckbreaker - a huge non - title triumph over the reigning titleholder ! Before he could even breathe , though , the recovered Awesome One hit the newest “ Heyman Guy ” with a Skull - Crushing Finale of retribution . Miz may have won the night , but the victor in the Triple Threat Match at WWE Payback remains to be seen . In SmackDown ’ s intense main event clash , The Shield would finally be cracked . While the nefarious actions of “ The Hounds of Justice ” had previously caused them to lose by disqualification in six - man tag team action , SmackDown would see The Shield fall by submission or pinfall for the first time ever ! In the midst of complete disorder – with bodies flying in every direction both inside and outside the ring – Kane hurled Seth Rollins off the top rope and into the waiting RKO of The Viper ! While the WWE Universe was still catching its breath , Daniel Bryan snapped in the “ No ! ” Lock and made his black - clad adversary tap out ! Working together to achieve such a monumental win ignited an ecstatic celebration between the three Superstars and should finally put to rest Bryan ’ s idea that he is the “ weak link . ” But , will they be able to use that momentum to capture the United States and WWE Tag Team Titles this Sunday ? Tune into WWE Payback , only on pay - per - view , to find out !
