October 5 , 2012 Smackdown results The October 5 , 2012 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 2 , 2012 at the BOK Center in Tulsa , Oklahoma . Summary . On SmackDown , WWE Champion CM Punk looked to bankrupt Mr . Money in the Bank , Dolph Ziggler , while World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and his No . 1 contender , Big Show , caused “ World ” class problems for one other and the WWE Tag Team Championship No . 1 Contenders ’ Tournament went ‘ Prime Time . ’ Big Show opened SmackDown , talking about World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus ’ recent humor at his expense , just weeks before their upcoming World Title clash at WWE Hell in a Cell . The giant pointed out when it comes to his opponents , the best plans come up short against his merciless WMD . He then produced a video to prove just that , highlighting the unfortunate group of victims that had suffered the earth - shattering force of his signature knockout blow . The Great White then emerged , stating that , although he was joking around on Monday Night Raw , he considered the upcoming battle against The World ’ s Largest Athlete the “ biggest fight of his life . ” He then extended his hand to say may the best man win . However , the angry Big Show refused to shake , choosing instead to exit the ring . But , after The Celtic Warrior proceeded to show footage of Big Show ’ losing the World Title to Daniel Bryan in 45 seconds last year at WWE TLC : Tables , Ladders & Chairs and then Bryan falling to Sheamus in 18 seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII , the giant returned to the ring to offer his hand after all . This time it was the World Heavyweight Champion that refused the gesture , stepping out of the ring with a huge smile on his face . While Sheamus continued to “ poke the bear , ” the question remains whether his jokes will ultimately end with a WMD punch line at WWE Hell in a Cell . In the final first round match of the whirlwind tournament to determine who will challenge Team Hell No for the WWE Tag Team Titles at Hell in a Cell , Titus O ’ Neil & Darren Young overcame the former WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston & R - Truth . In the height of the fast - paced matchup , it looked as if Kofi was ready to hit Trouble in Paradise to finish off Young . But , when O ’ Neal tripped up an attacking Kingston from outside the ring , “ Mr . No Days Off ” seized the opportunity , hitting the gutbuster to get the huge pinfall and advance his team to the semifinals . Like them or hate them , The Prime Time Players continued to exhibit exceptional tag team ability , making them a dangerous threat to their next round opponents , Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara , as well as the other two remaining teams in the tournament and WWE Tag Team Champions Hell No . After confronting WWE Champion CM Punk on two separate occasions during recent episodes of Monday Night Raw , Ryback — this week ’ s most talked about Superstar on social media — set his excruciating focus on Primo . And after stopping a retreat by his outmatched opponent outside the ring — taking down his tag team partner , Epico , in painful and decisive fashion — the ultra - intense Superstar hurled Primo back into the ring and triumphed over him with the dreaded Shell Shocked . What is left to say , but “ feed [ him ] more ! ” With the ongoing controversy over who attacked Kaitlyn at Night of Champions continuing to rock the Divas division , one particular battling beauty that the SmackDown announce team referred to as an “ instigator , ” Alicia Fox , took on the Diva that lost the butterfly - emblazoned title following the pay - per - view incident , Layla . While it was being discussed during the match that SmackDown General Manager Booker T ’ s Assistant , Divas Champion Eve , is making the investigation of the attack the top priority of the Divas division , Layla overcame A - Fox with a fierce roundhouse kick . After the match , Layla set a strong message to the WWE Universe and the current titleholder that “ The way [ Eve ] won the Divas Championship is going to make it so much better when she loses the Divas Championship . ” Pointing out that he has crushed every opponent he ’ s faced since returning to his roots and returning to WWE with a reckoning , Wade Barrett revealed that carrying out the Barrett Barrage in such dominating fashion , quite simply , amuses him . In the one - sided exhibition of brutality that followed , the English grappler continued to send a vicious message to everyone that he is , indeed , back in full force , hitting the devastating Souvenir elbow for the crippling victory . In a furious Champion vs . Champion Match , resulting from a tumultuous “ Miz TV ” one week ago , ( WATCH ) The Great White took on Intercontinental Champion The Miz . While The Awesome One was thirsty for vengeance over his show being ruined for the second time in as many weeks , World Heavyweight Champion was just as hungry after losing a rare match to WWE Champion CM Punk Wednesday on the series premiere of “ WWE Main Event . ” But , in the end , just as The Celtic Warrior looked poised to hit the Brogue Kick on his outspoken foe , Big Show suddenly emerged , knocking out Miz with the WMD and consequently handing his WWE Hell in a Cell opponent his second defeat this week — via disqualification . Requesting time to speak to the WWE Universe , David Otunga addressed last week ’ s attack by Alberto Del Rio on Randy Orton after SmackDown went off the air . ( WATCH ) The post - show assault had served as a follow - up to an earlier attack by The Mexican Aristocrat that same night , resulting in his helping to cost Orton his chance to become No . 1 contender to the World Title at WWE Hell in a Cell . Otunga thanked Del Rio for his actions , before being interrupted by The Viper ’ s music . However , instead of Orton , it turned out to be Del Rio himself , mocking and humiliating the absent Apex Predator with his best Viper impression . As the Mexican Superstar gloated that he was “ the new Apex Predator of the WWE , ” GM Booker T emerged . He ruled that since Orton was not there , Del Rio & Otunga ’ s schedule was freed up enough to face WWE Tag Team Champion , Team Hell No ! In the heated tag team match that followed , Kane hit the Chokeslam on Otunga . But , before he could go for the pin , Bryan tagged himself in , delivering a headbutt off the top rope to pick up the win — an action that once again allowed the submission specialist to steal the glory away from his dangerous tag team partner . As the smoke cleared , Team Hell No was left screaming at each other , “ I am the Tag Team Champions . ” The No . 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Title at WWE Hell in a Cell , Big Show , looked to outsize Tensai in an explosive SmackDown showdown . However , just at The World Largest Athlete was about to deliver the WMD to finish off his massive opponent , World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus opted to settle the score from earlier in the night . Emerging just in the nick of time , The Great White intercepted Show ’ s prey with the Brogue Kick and , as a result , cost his gigantic adversary the match by disqualification . While many would see the interference as a simple case of an eye for an eye , the furious Big Show will no doubt be looking to hit the WMD between Sheamus ’ eyes now more than ever at WWE Hell in a Cell . After CM Punk came to SmackDown to confront Mr . Money in the Bank , Dolph Ziggler , over leaving him “ high and dry ” on Monday ’ s Raw ( WATCH ) , GM Booker T opted to put the two Superstars into a match against each other in the SmackDown main event . In the height of the phenomenal , back - and - forth contest between two absolute masters of the ring , The Showoff caught the WWE Champion on the top rope , hurling him down to the canvas with an explosive bodyslam . When Ziggler tried to follow - up by charging Punk in the opposite corner , however , The Second City Saint had enough presence of mind to move . Ziggler slammed into the turnbuckle , allowing the WWE Champion to execute the Go to Sleep for the SmackDown victory . Moments after the bell , CM Punk climbed on top of the announce table to toy with the WWE Universe . He sarcastically explained that because he needed to face John Cena at WWE Hell in a Cell to get the respect he deserved , he would not compete against him at the upcoming pay - per - view .
