May 3 , 2013 Smackdown results The May 3 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on April 30 , 2013 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit , Michigan . Summary . While The Big Red Monster attempted to dish out Phenom - enal payback on “ The Hounds of Justice , ” his tag team partner Daniel Bryan locked horns with “ The Human Wrecking Ball ” and Sheamus ’ Arm Wrestling Contest against Mark Henry turned chaotic . The intense Ryback opened SmackDown , justifying why he refused to team with John Cena on Raw against The Shield , before reaffirming that he will capture the WWE Title at Extreme Rules from the " weakened " titleholder . His knock - down , drag - out match against WWE Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan , however , would not prove to be as cut and dry as his earlier statements — as both Superstars left everything they had on the canvas . Still , when the action traveled outside the ring , “ The Human Wrecking Ball ” caught the submission specialist and launched him into the unforgiving steel ring post . Utilizing his freakish strength , Ryback then unleashed a brutal onslaught that ended with Shell Shocked and the victory . After dancing to the ring with the lovely Summer Rae at his side , Fandango set his sights on Zack Ryder . And while a much more aggressive Long Island Iced - Z than ever before took the fight to his opponent with the Broski Boot , Fandango roared back , finishing off his opponent with the devastating leg drop off the top rope . When Divas Champion Kaitlyn received another gift from her secret admirer , The Punjabi Playboy attempted to educate her on the ways of love . After winning his friend Alberto Del Rio the right to pick a Ladder Match stipulation for the Triple Threat World Title Match at Extreme Rules , Ricardo Rodriguez battled Zeb Colter one - on - one on SmackDown — with World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler , AJ Lee and Big E Langston watching from the wings . But when Jack Swagger attacked Ricardo , Senior Advisor Theodore Long ( filling in for the absent General Manager Booker T ) restarted the contest as — you guessed it — a tag team match . The subsequent match pitting Rodriguez & Del Rio against Swagger & Colter also ended prematurely when Ziggler and Big E Langston decided to attack both the Mexican Superstar and the “ Real American . ” Teddy then made the decision to restart things again , this time as a Triple Threat Tag Team Match . That whirlwind showdown ended when Del Rio made The Showoff tap out to the Cross Armbreaker . Before Dean Ambrose would battle Kane in the SmackDown main event , the treacherous trio promised that , like his legendary brother The Undertaker , Kane would suffer their wrath . “ The Hounds of Justice ” then revealed that the Superstar they had attacked moments earlier was none other than Daniel Bryan ! After WWE personnel moved the war - torn Superstar to receive medical attention , The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon addressed the situation . While he acknowledged that it was inevitable that he would be taken down by the numbers disadvantage , Kane said he planned on doing major damage before that occurred . He made it clear that , without question , SmackDown ’ s final match of the night would not just be a war . Instead , he said , they were all going to hell . After The Viper ultimately overcame the dangerous Intellectual Savior of the Masses with the RKO , Big Show emerged after the bell to again blame Randy Orton for their loss in the Six - Man Tag Team Match at WrestleMania . The giant ’ s distraction allowed the recovered Sandow to attack The Viper from behind and hit Terminus on WWE ’ s Apex Predator . Finding the post - match assault extremely humorous , The World ’ s Largest Athlete challenged Orton to a match at Extreme Rules . Will the nine - time World Champion accept ? After backing away several times from the table , Mark Henry defeated Sheamus in an arm wrestling contest . But after getting The World ’ s Strongest Man to agree to a rematch with the other arm , The Celtic Warrior opted instead to unleash his massive punch of The World ’ s Strangest Man — finishing off Henry with the Brogue Kick that embarrassed his adversary for the second time in a week . Fired up to seize retribution on The Shield for their attacks on The Undertaker and Daniel Bryan , Kane set out to take “ The Hounds of Justice ” to hell . And as the monstrous competitor took out both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins earlier on , it looked like he might get what he came for . But when his Phenom - esque Tombstone attempt on Ambrose drew additional contact with Reigns and Rollins , things started coming apart at the seams — eventually leading to Ambrose picking up the victory ! Although the match was over , the determined Kane was not . The Big Red Monster challenged Ambrose and his two cohorts to get back in the ring , setting off a fierce brawl that ended in the masked Superstar getting Triple Powerbombed . With The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon down , the imposing Shield stood over him with the WWE Tag Team Champions held high .
