October 10 , 2014 Smackdown results The October 10 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown was a televised Professional wrestling show by the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 7 , 2014 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . This was SmackDown ’ s 15th anniversary show . Summary . SmackDown ’ s 15th Anniversary Celebration went down in epic fashion thanks to a huge 15 - Man Tag Team Match , several big surprise returns and an explosive “ MizTV ” encounter between John Cena and Dean Ambrose ! SmackDown ’ s very first General Manager , Stephanie McMahon , kicked off the blue brand ’ s historic night before being interrupted by two other former SmackDown GMs , Theodore Long and John Laurinaitis . The one - time rivals picked up right where they left off , as both men tried to outdo one another by proposing a series of match ideas fitting such a monumental night . In the end , the tag team matchmaking master himself , Teddy Long , eventually came up with the idea for a history - making 15 - Man Tag Team Match featuring Sheamus , Jack Swagger , Mark Henry , The Usos , Los Matadores & El Torito versus Damien Mizdow , Cesaro , Bo Dallas , Gold & Stardust , Slater Gator & Mini - Gator . Adam Rose and his Rosebuds soon joined the party , only to have one of the principal owners of WWE , Stephanie McMahon , place the leader of The Exotic Express in an impromptu match against Kane . The decision left the partying Superstar looking glum and the three former GMs dancing with glee . After making it clear prior to the contest that he ’ s not a Lemon or a Rosebud , Kane chokeslammed Adam Rose and handed him his first loss in WWE . WWE ’ s Director of Operations then dismantled the Exotic Express one - by - one as a frightened Bunny barely hopped away unscathed . With Paige standing at ringside holding the butterfly - emblazoned title in her arms as if it were her baby , Divas Champion AJ Lee defeated the British beauty ’ s best friend , Alicia Fox . The Diva of Tomorrow attempted to inflict a post - match beating on the victorious AJ , but The Black Widow fought off her former “ frenemy ” and her new foxy friend before skipping off to safety with her coveted title in tow . With The Authority ’ s Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury standing guard at ringside , Seth Rollins outlasted the high - flying Kofi Kingston after delivering a devastating Curb Stomp to The Dreadlocked Dynamo . Despite a valiant effort by his decorated opponent , Rusev ’ s commanding size and strength proved to be too much for Dolph Ziggler to handle as the Intercontinental Champion fell victim to The Super Athlete ’ s Accolade submission . Following the non - title showdown , the hulking Superstar offered an angry response to The Rock ’ s electrifying attack earlier in the week before challenging Big Show to a match this Monday night on Raw . Fresh off of The Rock ’ s stunning Raw return , SmackDown showed exclusive footage from after Raw , in which Triple H and The Great One relived some of their legendary SmackDown showdowns in an electric backstage encounter that left us feeling more than just a little nostalgic . With former SmackDown General Manager and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T joining the announce team at ringside , this momentous 15 - Man Tag Team Match descended into chaos , resulting in bodies strewn around the ring . Eventually Sheamus delivered a Brogue Kick to Damien Mizdow amid the carnage , allowing Team Teddy ’ s Jey Uso to hit the Samoan splash for the victory . As a result , Teddy Long got the last laugh over John Lauranaitis , earning the distinction as the greatest SmackDown General Manager ever with the victory . A special SmackDown 15th Anniversary edition of “ MizTV ” didn ’ t disappoint as The Miz kicked off his talk show by announcing that John Cena and Dean Ambrose ’ s contest at Hell in a Cell will be a Contract on a Pole Match ! Despite The Awesome One ’ s attempts to instigate a fight between the Cenation leader and The Lunatic Fringe , both quarreling Superstars worked together to dispose of the self - proclaimed Hollywood movie star . After the unstable Ambrose hit a double - arm DDT on the egotistical host , the 15 - time World Champion put an exclamation point on SmackDown ’ s 15th Anniversary Celebration with an Attitude Adjustment on an unsuspecting Ambrose .
