April 19 , 2013 Smackdown results The April 19 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on April 16 , 2013 at the Thompson - Boling Arena in Knoxville , Tennessee . Summary . As The World ’ s Largest Athlete and The World ’ s Strongest Man collided with Randy Orton and Sheamus in SmackDown ’ s tag team main event , “ The Hounds of Justice ” poked a stick at The Phenom and duel No . 1 contenders to the World Heavyweight Title went head - to - head in an epic WrestleMania Rematch . Fandango opened SmackDown , initiating an impromptu dance with the lovely Lilian Garcia , before dropping the ring announcer to the canvas and belittling both her and the WWE Universe . The Superstar that upset Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29 then went on to question whether Lilian could even say his name correctly . Luckily , pronunciation extraordinaire Santino Marella was on hand to take up the challenge . After doing his own hilarious rendition of “ Fandangoing ” — with the Cobra as a dance partner — Santino evaded Fandango furious charge , pulling down the top rope and sending the nimble aggressor to the ringside floor . The quick moves of the two - time Intercontinental Champion proved insufficient once the bell rang , however , as Fandango ultimately blocked his Cobra strike to plant The Milan Miracle into the canvas for another huge win . In a rare Champion vs . Champion showdown , newly crowned United States Champion Kofi Kingston triumphed over his longstanding adversary , Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett . Although The Barrett Barrage drove “ The Wildcat ” into the mat with brutal force in the match ’ s final moments , the resilient Kingston still possessed enough presence - of - mind to counter The Bare - Knuckled Brawler ’ s pin attempt to score a quick three - count . The World ’ s Largest Athlete increased the apparent fraction between SmackDown General Manager Booker T and his Senior Adviser Theodore Long — sticking it to the five - time WCW Champion in the process . In the climatic final moments of an extremely personal back - and - forth WrestleMania Rematch between the duel - No . 1 contenders to Dolph Ziggler ’ s World Heavyweight Title , Alberto Del Rio countered Jack Swagger ’ s Patriot Lock to cinch in the Cross Armbreaker . But , the action would not end there . To the amazement of all , the “ Real American ” used every bit of his strength to transform that painful finishing maneuver into an impressive pin attempt . And while he nearly picked up the three - count for his trouble , he could stop the Mexican Superstar from answering back with a small package for the heroic win in an incredible showdown ! From an undisclosed location , the “ Hounds of Justice ” twisted the knife about their brutal Raw assault of WWE Champion John Cena four days earlier — before turning their attention to their imminent clash with the reunited Brothers of Destruction and Daniel Bryan this Monday , as Raw broadcasts from the United Kingdom . When Primo , Epico and Rosa Mendes stole a parking lot spot away from The Great Khali , Natalya and Hornswoggle , the fired - up competitors decided to settle their dispute in a Six - Person Mixed Tag Team Match . And in the match ’ s final moments — after an angry Rosa made the mistake of pursuing ’ Swoggle outside the ring and suffered a fierce Natalya clothesline as a result — Khali caught Epico off the rope and delivered the Punjabi Plunge for the huge triumph . Earlier in the night , after experiencing two separate assaults from Mark Henry , The Celtic Warrior struck back with a powerful attack of retribution on The World ’ s Strongest Man during his target ’ s interview with Renee Young . This only added to the fireworks in the final moments of SmackDown ’ s explosive tag team main event . When Randy Orton looked ready to finish off a reeling Big Show with the RKO , Mark Henry slammed into The Viper from out of nowhere . This brought Sheamus into the action , nailing The World ’ s Strongest Man with such force that it knocked both Superstars out of the ring . As Sheamus and Henry hit the floor , The World ’ s Largest Athlete seized the opportunity , hitting a still - reeling Orton with the chokeslam for the giant win .
