November 14 , 2014 Smackdown results The November 14 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on November 11 , 2014 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool , England . Summary . A truly explosive SmackDown from across the pond saw the return of Y2J , an incredible Triple Threat Elimination Match for the Intercontinental Title , Bray Wyatt ’ s backstage assault on Dean Ambrose and a vicious main event that pit Ryback against Corporate Kane . The returning Chris Jericho opened SmackDown , welcoming The Authority ’ s Triple H and Stephanie McMahon onto a special edition of “ Highlight Reel . ” While Stephanie preferred to expound on the virtues of their being in charge , the outspoken Y2J and the WWE Universe seemed more interested poking fun at the power couple - as well as what would happen if WWE ’ s head honchos lost their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match against Team Cena and were ousted from power . Eventually , The Game had enough of Jericho and , after taking his longtime adversary to task , the WWE power couple elected to make their exit . The Ayatollah of Rock ’ n ’ Rolla would send them off in style , leading the crowd in a humiliating rendition of “ Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye . ” Set to battle Dean Ambrose at Survivor Series , Bray Wyatt made short work of Sin Cara on SmackDown with Sister Abigail . See a " light " in the darkness As the dust cleared , The Eater of Worlds once again addressed The Lunatic Fringe , his absentee father and the “ darkness ” that he believes consumes his adversary ’ s life . As Wyatt pleaded with Ambrose to accept him as the light , he emerged . Rather than run off , however , Wyatt continued his taunting and eventually reentered the ring to engage the focus of his torment . Though Ambrose knocked his ominous foe back to the ringside floor , Wyatt was still playing his mind games as he made his exit . Later , the “ New Face of Fear ” launched a sneak attack on Ambrose as he was conducting a backstage interview . Despite clear issues between them on Monday ’ s Raw , Adam Rose and The Bunny teamed up against WWE Tag Team Champions Gold & Stardust on SmackDown . But seconds after The Bunny opted not to tag in Rose in the height of the action and instead attempting an aerial attack off the top rope , Stardust countered and hit Dark Matter for the three - count . As a result , a furious Rose delivered a post - match Party Foul to his fury friend after the bell . In a continuation of the punishment he has endured at the hands of The Authority in recent weeks over joining Team Cena at Survivor Series , Dolph Ziggler was forced to defend the Intercontinental Title in a fast - paced Triple Threat Match Elimination Match against both Cesaro and Tyson Kidd . The awesome contest that followed saw everything from a double suplex to a Cesaro Swing to a powerbomb delivered on top of a superplex to a combination Sharpshooter - Crossface . Kidd would ultimately triumph in the first fall , capitalizing on Ziggler ’ s Zig Zag of Cesaro to pin The King of Swing . Then , as the already intense showdown went into overdrive to determine the second fall , Ziggler hit a second Zig Zag for the incredible victory . After slapping Summer Rae and hurling Layla into a clapping Diva outside the ring , Natalya made her English opponent tap out to the family Sharpshooter . Amid a sea of Survivor Series controversy , the “ hottest free agent in WWE ” Ryback battled Corporate Kane in SmackDown ’ s main event — with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon looking on . The action came to a sudden halt , though , when WWE ’ s Director of Operations brought a chair into the action , forcing the referee to call for the bell . But Ryback would reclaim the advantage , using a spinebuster to set up a chair counter - assault on his Big Red opponent . The Human Wrecking Ball then engaged in a staredown with Triple H on the apron , a silent conflict that nearly turned violent before WWE ’ s COO opted to back away .
