May 23 , 2014 Smackdown results The May 23 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on May 20 , 2014 at the O2 Arena in London , England . Summary . SmackDown invaded the O2 Arena with the London return of Hulk Hogan , a brutal No Disqualification Match between Batista and Dolph Ziggler and a main event showdown pitting WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos against Wyatt Family disciples Erick Rowan & Luke Harper . WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart kicked off Friday night , welcoming the immortal Hulk Hogan into a WWE ring in London for the first time in 20 years . After giving a nod to the past that is currently being spotlighted in WWE Network ’ s hit reality show “ Legends ’ House , ” The Hulkster spoke of a bright future for all his British Hulkamaniacs ! One week ago on SmackDown , Batista got himself disqualified in a contest against Dolph Ziggler , moments before unleashing a vicious beat down on The Showoff . As a result , his adversary demanded a No Disqualification rematch . The battle was brutal from the start , incorporating the likes of steel chairs , the ringside barrier , the announce table and anything else that might assist in causing all - out destruction . However , when Ziggler launched off the ring apron to hit Batista with the Famouser onto the unforgiving steel steps , his opponent evaded his charge at the last second . This resulted in Dolph ’ s leg getting caught up on the steel and paved the way for The Animal to finish him off with the spear . As the smoke cleared , the six - time World Champion ripped through his fallen prey with a post - match Batista Bomb – sending a direct message to The Shield that WWE Payback is coming . After returning to Raw to plant a kiss on her ex , Fandango , and attack his new dance partner , Layla , Summer Rae journeyed to SmackDown to serve as the special guest referee when The Funkadactyls faced off against Nikki Bella & Eva Marie . While the red hot Summer refused to count to three whenever her fellow " Total Divas " castmates , Nikki or Eva , attempted a pinfall , the second that Cameron got her opponent ’ s shoulders on the canvas , the pinstriped beauty was more than happy to deliver a rather fast three - count . The spirited Bo Dallas set out to teach the WWE Universe to “ Bo - lieve , ” scoring a huge victory over Sin Cara in his debut WWE match on SmackDown with a wicked clothesline and a running Tornado Bulldog off the ropes . With handshake to his masked opponent , Dallas offered Sin Cara some inspirational words that he could one day be like him . Capping off his win with a victory lap around the ring , Dallas sends the signal that he intends to inspire by example . After laying out his WWE Payback Last Man Standing opponent John Cena on Raw , Bray Wyatt journeyed to SmackDown to inform the WWE Universe that society had put them in a prison , and that the role of individuals like Cena was to make them think that everything was OK . According to The Eater of Worlds , that is why he exists . Bray informed one and all that he will be standing there when Cena falls and the Cenation crumbles around him . He also made it clear that his disciples , Luke Harper & Eric Rowan , would teach WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos a lesson on SmackDown . Paul Heyman and Cesaro joined the SmackDown announce team , as United States Champion Sheamus went head - to - head with longtime adversary Alberto Del Rio . Battling back from an injured shoulder that he sustained early in the match , The Celtic Warrior ultimately broke loose from the Cross Armbreaker in time to thwart an attempted attack by disruptive The King of Swing . However , an irate Cesaro reengaged , hurling Sheamus into the steel steps to draw the disqualification , before hitting him with the Neutralizer onto the ringside floor . SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero hoped to party with the best of them by inviting Adam Rose into the ring . Unfortunately for her , the WWE Universe informed the up - and - coming Superstar that The Queen Diva was , in fact , a lemon . The party was truly over for Vickie , as Rose ’ s festive followers carried her away . In the height of SmackDown ’ s furious tag team main event , Bray Wyatt brought about the disqualification by throwing one of The Usos off the top rope and out onto the ringside floor . However , John Cena seized back the momentum without missing a beat , leaping into action to deliver a retaliatory post - match Attitude Adjustment to Erick Rowan . While the Cenation leader may have been down for the ten - count on Raw , he sent the strong message to The Eater of Worlds that he will be looking to stand tall in their Last Man Standing Match at WWE Payback .
