April 25 , 2014 Smackdown results The April 25 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on April 22 , 2014 at the GIANT Center in Hershey , Pennsylvania . Summary . The Hounds of Justice ran rabid over Friday night , systematically decimating the competition to help even the odds in an 11 - on - 3 Handicap Match main event . General Manager Vickie Guerrero opened SmackDown by announcing that , while The Authority was taking the night off , she would personally make The Shield suffer for their actions on Monday ' s Raw by putting them in an 11 - on - 3 Handicap Match . The Queen Diva then introduced a debate between Paul Heyman and Zeb Colter – which quickly spun out of control , bringing the scheduled showdown between Cesaro and Jack Swagger front and center . In the highly personal slugfest between the former tag team partners , The King of Swing ultimately reigned supreme with a devastating Cesaro Swing / Neutralizer combination . However , the action didn ’ t stop there . For , as the dust was still clearing , The Shield suddenly attacked the war - torn Swagger and dropped him with a Triple Powerbomb – hence neutralizing one of the 11 Superstars scheduled to take them on later in the night . In reference to Triple H ’ s statement to “ adapt or perish , ” The Hounds pointed out that Swagger had failed to adapt and that they were just getting started . Poised to battle Divas Champion Paige at Extreme Rules , fierce No . 1 contender Tamina conquered third - generation Diva Natalya with an explosive kick out of nowhere . Following up their earlier assault on Jack Swagger , The Hounds of Justice launched a second attack on scheduled 11 - 3 Handicap Match opponents , this time leaving 3MB in tatters . Moments later , a phone call from Triple H gave Vickie Guerrero “ the night off . ” In her place , Raw General Manager Brad Maddox was called in to handle The Shield situation . Chalk up another huge victory for Rybaxel on SmackDown , as Curtis Axel used a neckbreaker to overcome WWE Tag Team Champion Jey Uso in singles competition . Standing inside a steel cage – symbolizing the imminent showdown against John Cena at Extreme Rules – the creepy Brad Wyatt asked his Cenation adversary how it felt to have the WWE Universe throw him to the to the wolves - a 3 - on - 1 battle against The Wyatt Family on Raw . He also compared their upcoming pay - per - view match to a snake being trapped up with a rat – pointing out that Cena had failed to take away his venom and that Cena ' s nightmares had become his dreams . After Wyatt climbed to the top of the cage to sing “ He ’ s Got the Whole World in his Hands ” – with a surprising numbers of the WWE Universe apparently warming up to his influence – his disciples , Luke Harper & Erick Rowan , bested the Rhodes brothers , sending Cody flying from the top rope and out to the ringside floor before Wyatt ’ s followers finished off Goldust . Though Brad Maddox was tasked with taming The Hounds of Justice , Dean Ambrose , Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns launched a preemptive strike on the Raw General Manager . Before Fandango & Layla could go to battle against Santino & Emma , The Shield once again emerged , taking out another of their opponents in the 11 - on - 3 Handicap Match by Triple Powerbombing Fandango off the stage and through a table . Following the vicious attack by The Devil ' s Favorite Demon , Kane , on WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan during Monday ' s Raw , it was announced on SmackDown that Stephanie McMahon will be on Raw this week to publicly apologize for what transpired . Moments before SmackDown ’ s main event , Curtis Axel was found decimated in the back – presumably another strategic attack by The Shield . The Hounds of Justice then went head - to - head with their remaining foes : Alberto Del Rio , Bad News Barrett , Damien Sandow , Ryback & Titus O ’ Neil . In the height of the action , Barrett and Del Rio elected to take a walk . But , as Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins continued to pulverize their opponents , Roman Reigns caught up with Mexico ’ s Greatest Export . Then , after Reigns defeated Damien Sandow with the Spear , the still hungry Ambrose & Rollins passed Titus and Ryback into the ring to suffer a pair of post - match Reigns Spears , before the black - clad trio finished off The Human Wrecking Ball with the Triple Powerbomb .
