July 5 , 2013 Smackdown results The July 5 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on July 2 , 2013 at the Landon Arena in Topeka , Kansas . Summary . With nine days until Money in the Bank , fireworks erupted over SmackDown ’ s main event between CM Punk and World Champion Alberto Del Rio . Plus , Kaitlyn chased Divas Champion AJ Lee off the blue brand , Randy Orton battled it out with fellow Money in the Bank All - Star Christian and Dolph Ziggler showed exactly why he is The Showoff . CM Punk kicked things off with a rare SmackDown appearance , explaining how he deeply relates to the Fourth of July concept of independence . He also cited his two immediate goals : getting his hands on Brock Lesnar and winning the Money in the Bank All - Star Ladder Match so he could once again become WWE Champion . Punk was soon interrupted by World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio , however , who insisted that “ The Best in the World ” was standing on “ his ” show . Del Rio then went on to insult Punk , Dolph Ziggler and the traditions of millions of celebrating Americans . Though Punk seemed more than ready to take on Del Rio right there , SmackDown Senior Advisor Theodore Long quickly hit the brakes , instead placing the two competitors in a SmackDown main event showdown . Dispelling speculation that they may be at odds in the upcoming World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money in the Bank Ladder Match , Damien Sandow & Cody Rhodes reaffirmed their friendship by saying , simply , “ May the best man win . ” Despite their comradery , they couldn ’ t stop Jimmy & Jey Uso from delivering an incredible double splash off the top rope for the tag team victory . However , the celebration was interrupted by The Shield on the TitanTron . Though The Usos & Christian beat them one week ago in six - man tag team action , The Hounds of Justice warned their No . 1 contenders that Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns would walk out of Money in the Bank still the titleholders and Dean Ambrose would become Mr . Money in the Bank . Though Kaitlyn kicked the distracting Divas Champion AJ Lee off the ring apron , Alicia Fox seized the moment and rolled up the No . 1 contender to the butterfly - emblazoned title for the quick three - count . Determined not to wait for their Divas Title Rematch at Money in the Bank , a fuming Hybrid Diva charged after AJ after the bell , chasing her up the ramp . This Monday , the wait is finally over . The creepy Wyatt Family is apparently coming to Raw , and WWE may never be the same again . Both poised to win the Money in the Bank All - Stars Ladder Match in nine days , longtime rivals Randy Orton and Christian went head - to - head in a knockdown , drag - out battle for momentum . At the height of the action , Christian miraculously avoided the RKO , but WWE ’ s Apex Predator quickly rebounded , charging toward the turnbuckle to foil Captain Charisma ’ s imminent aerial follow up . And in the split second that Christian tried to regroup , The Viper went for his devastating finishing maneuver again , this time connecting for the pinfall . With AJ Lee and Big E Langston long gone – fleeing the arena to escape the wrath of a pursuing Kaitlyn – Dolph Ziggler took a moment before his match to address the WWE Universe . Characterizing World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio as a phony , Ziggler pledged to once again defeat The Mexican Superstar for the World Title at Money in the Bank . Then , after overcoming Drew McIntyre with the Zig Zag , The Showoff “ showed up ” two separate post - match attacks by 3MB , brashly ” zigzagging ” all around the ring without picking up so much as a scratch . After running out on his match against Sheamus on Raw , Fandango danced back into the victory lane by defeating the high - flying Justin Gabriel with a thunderous leg drop off the top rope . With Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger flanking him on either side , Zeb Colter expressed another contentious pre - recorded message , once again citing his controversial agenda . “ We the People ! ” Earlier on SmackDown , Paul Heyman urged CM Punk to let him stand in his corner at Money in the Bank , but “ The Best in the World ” responded by requesting that his friend stay out of things altogether . However , Teddy Long would later order Heyman to join the SmackDown announce team for the main event match between Punk and World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio . When the match spilled outside the ring , Del Rio looked to use the announce table as a weapon . Though Heyman tried to talk him out of it , The Mexican Superstar knocked the ECW founder to the ringside floor . Seeing this , Punk snapped , viciously attacking Del Rio until the referee counted out both Superstars . After the bell , The Straight Edge Superstar refused to relent , executing the GTS on his opponent . He then helped his war - torn friend away from the chaos as SmackDown went off the air .
