September 27 , 2013 Smackdown results The September 27 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on September 24 , 2013 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee , Wisconsin . Summary . Nine days before WWE Battleground , The King of Kings cleared the way for the sadistic Randy Orton to massacre The Miz , The Showoff challenged Dean Ambrose for the United States Championship and Bray Wyatt competed on SmackDown for the first - time - ever . WWE COO Triple H opened SmackDown by justifying his decisions over the past month , calling all claims of favoritism and unfairness on his and Stephanie McMahon ’ s part “ utterly ridiculous . ” Citing Monday ’ s 11 - on - 3 Handicap Elimination Match as a prime example , The Game once again made the case that his actions are in the interest of what ’ s “ best for business . ” The Miz , however , didn ’ t agree , as The Awesome One arrived on Friday night ’ s best show still fuming over a Big Show KO Punch ordered by Stephanie McMahon on Raw . Triple H claimed that Stephanie felt remorse for her actions , and in the spirit of being “ fair and impartial , ” made a showdown for later in the night , pitting the retribution - seeking Miz against the Superstar who brutally beat him in front of family and friends two weeks ago on Raw … Randy Orton ! With his title rematch against RVD at WWE Battleground looming , World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio ultimately overcame R - Truth with a vicious mule kick on SmackDown . But a “ W ” wasn ’ t enough for the titleholder , as Del Rio snapped in his dreaded Cross Armbreaker after the bell , prompting RVD to sprint to the ring to save The Rapping Superstar . Brandishing a chair , Van Dam hit a running skateboard of Extreme retribution on the Mexican Champion ! RVD may have gotten some payback for Del Rio ’ s Raw attack , but who will come out on top at WWE Battleground on Sunday , Oct . 6 ? By decree of COO Triple H and SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero , the World Title Match between RVD and Alberto Del Rio at WWE Battleground will be contested under Battleground Hardcore Rules . After Zeb Colter banned the phrase “ We the People ” to be uttered by anyone besides The Real Americans , Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger set out to dismantle The Prime Time Players on the blue brand . Despite a valiant effort by Titus O ’ Neil & Darren Young , The Real Americans did just that , scoring the Friday night win – thanks in part to an unbelievable giant swing by Cesaro on Titus that left “ The Real Deal ” completely dizzy for the remainder of the contest . But it was The Patriot Lock administered to Darren Young after some tag - in confusion that gave The Real Americans the submission victory . Flanked by Luke Harper and Erick Rowan , the enigmatic Bray Wyatt competed in his first - ever SmackDown match , systematically tearing apart Zack Ryder before planting Long Island Iced - Z with the terrifyingly effective Sister Abigail . With the United States Title on the line , Dolph Ziggler engaged champion Dean Ambrose on Friday night ’ s best show . For a brief moment , the presence of the rest of The Shield made it seem like Ambrose would once again have the numbers advantage . Showing off his smarts , though , Ziggler brought RVD and Kofi Kingston with him to the ring in an effort to neutralize WWE Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at ringside . When the match broke down into free - for - all madness , resulting in a No Contest ruling , Triple H reemerged to put an end to the “ anarchy ” and to make official a Six - Man Tag Team Match pitting Ziggler , Kofi & RVD against The Shield ! All - out action was the name of the game on SmackDown , as a Triple H - ordered Six - Man Tag Team Match lit up the blue brand . Though they had the support of the WWE Universe in attendance , Ziggler , RVD & Kofi just could not overcome the flurried offensive assault launched by The Shield . After a fast - paced , back - and - forth melee in the final moments of the showdown , a Seth Rollins kick to the head allowed Dean Ambrose to pick up the pieces and cover Kofi Kingston for the pinfall . A miserable World ’ s Largest Athlete told Renee Young that the position he ’ s been forced into by COO Triple H and Stephanie McMahon has made him an emotional “ wreck ” and a “ pariah ” in the locker room . There would be no sympathy from Triple H , however , as The Game pretended to cry as he brushed Big Show ’ s concerns under the rug while keeping the giant under his boot . After officially enlisting Tamina to her cause , Divas Champion AJ Lee continued to back up her promise to defeat every “ Total Divas ” cast member , adding Cameron to the list as she defeated the Funkadactyl on SmackDown . Tamina proved she ’ s more than capable of being AJ ’ s “ protector , ” leveling Naomi with a vicious clothesline at ringside , moments before AJ connected with a shining wizard on Cameron inside the ring . Following his devious Monday night sneak attack on former prodigal son , CM Punk , the diabolical Paul Heyman vowed that , at WWE Battleground , it would be more of the same for The Second City Saint when he faces off against Ryback . With The Great Khali and Hornswoggle at his side , Santino Marella took on one - third of 3MB , Heath Slater . After The Punjabi Playboy helped thwart Jinder Mahal ’ s attempt to “ charm ” the Cobra with a flute , Santino struck with his signature move , leaving Slater to stare up at the Friday night lights and getting Santino back to his winning ways after a Raw loss to Fandango . The Rhodes family has officially accepted Triple H ’ s invitation and will appear on this Monday ’ s Raw . Via social media , The Rhodes clan accepted Triple H ’ s invitation to Raw next week , issued during the COO ’ s WWE . com Exclusive interview earlier in the week . What awaits Cody , Goldust and WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes on Monday night ? Find out at 8 / 7 CT on USA Network ! It was a tale of two matches in SmackDown ’ s main event , as The Miz battled — and defeated — Randy Orton by disqualification when The Viper ignored the referee ’ s order to disengage from his opponent after The Miz noticeably exacerbated a previous injury ( suffered initially at the hands of Orton on Raw two weeks prior ) . But , claiming Orton purposefully sought out the disqualification , an emerging Triple H ordered the bout be restarted , this time as a No Disqualification Match that could only end via pinfall or submission . The sadistic side of WWE ’ s Apex Predator was then unleashed with a twisted smile , as The Viper used everything at his disposal to viciously dismantle his wounded prey . The WWE Universe was left to look on as Orton decimated a helpless Miz , nailing his defenseless opponent with a ring - shaking RKO before finally covering him for the victory .
