October 25 , 2013 Smackdown results The October 25 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 22 , 2013 at the BJCC in Birmingham , Alabama . Summary . On the final SmackDown before WWE Hell in a Cell , an epic 8 - Man Tag Team Match blew the roof off the blue brand . Plus , The Miz suffered the wrath of The Wyatt Family , Paul Heyman & Ryback left “ CM Skunk ” in anguish and an international pay - per - view contest was established . In an exclusive SmackDown interview with Michael Cole , WWE COO Triple H explained that the actions of fired Superstar Big Show on Raw Monday led to six WWE employees getting fired by Stephanie McMahon . However , because the giant is currently suing The Authority , The Game said he had been advised not to say anything further on the matter – other than referring to The World ’ s Largest Athlete as being “ irrelevant . ” Instead , Triple H discussed two of Sunday ’ s pay - per - view showdowns : World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio against a returning John Cena , and Daniel Bryan against Randy Orton for the vacant WWE Title inside Hell in a Cell . In the latter contest , in spite of recent turbulence , he expressed with certainty that special guest referee Shawn Michaels would do the right thing when all was said and done . However , Bryan himself would interrupt , defiantly stating he would prove Triple H wrong and walk out of WWE Hell in a Cell with the WWE Title and become the new Face of WWE in the process . With The Miz joining the SmackDown announce team , Jey & Jimmy Uso took on Wyatt Family disciples Luke Harper & Erick Rowan . However , when the action moved outside the ring and Bray Wyatt rose from his rocking chair to urge Harper back through the ropes , Miz made a beeline for “ The Eater of Worlds ” and booted him to the floor . The Awesome One then enticed Rowan to chase him away from the ring , leaving Harper to suffer the double boot of The Usos and the pin . Moments after Tamina took down Brie Bella outside the ring by hurling her into the steel steps , Divas Champion AJ Lee made Nikki tap out to the Black Window . It remains to be seen whether the unpredictable Diva will be able to do the same when she puts the title on the line against Brie at WWE Hell in a Cell on Sunday . Following The Miz ’ s interference in The Wyatt Family ’ s match against The Usos earlier in the night , the creepy trio appeared to dish out mysterious payback . And as they stood over the unconscious Awesome One – who was tied to a rail with the word “ liar ” written across his chest – Bray Wyatt stated that Miz would now truly know what it means to follow the buzzards . With The Real Americans looking on , the exciting new tag team , Los Matadores , scored another impressive victory over Heath Slater & Drew McIntyre thanks to a double bulldog that sent Drew crashing to the canvas . After the bell , El Torito poked fun at Jinder Mahal before disposing of the third member of 3MB with high - flying gusto . Not impressed in the least by their victory , Zeb Colter then informed the “ border - hopping banditos ” that The Real Americans would reign supreme over them at WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday . Looking to give the WWE Universe an unorthodox demonstration of the teamwork they will utilize when they face CM Punk in the first - ever 2 - on - 1 Handicap Match inside Hell in the Cell this Sunday , Paul Heyman & Ryback took on “ CM Skunk ” in a Handicap No Disqualification Match . And after the mad scientist brutalized the unfortunate local competitor with a Kendo stick , The Big Guy finished him off with Shell Shocked . Following the carnage , Heyman addressed the WWE Universe and described in feverish detail how he and his monster would destroy The Second City Saint inside the career - altering structure . Ready to defend the World Title against a returning John Cena in two days , World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio emerged on SmackDown waving the Mexican flag and proceeded to insult both the “ gringos ” of America and the “ peasants ” from his own country . Characterizing Cena as the perfect representation of a “ gringo , ” The Essence of Excellence proclaimed that he will lock the 11 - time WWE Champion in the Cross Armbreaker and never let go . When Summer Rae climbed up on the apron in an attempt to distract The Great Khali , Natalya took issue and pulled her back down . After the dancing beauty responded by slapping her , the third - generation Diva chased Summer into the ring and left the referee no choice but to call for the bell . Then , Fandango reengaged his giant opponent and received a Punjabi Chop for his trouble . After Miz was taken out of action – thanks to a mysterious attack by The Wyatt Family – Big E Langston convinced SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero to allow him to step up and take the spot . And with only two days remaining until WWE Hell in a Cell and major pay - per - view momentum on the line , order inevitably broke down in the main event showdown . Daniel Bryan attempted the “ YES ! ” Lock on Dean Ambrose , igniting an all - out melee between all eight Superstars that eventually spread outside the ring . Out of the chaos , Randy Orton - Bryan ' s fellow No . 1 contender to the WWE Title - ultimately emerged with the advantage . However , just when he looked ready to hit his Hell in a Cell opponent with the RKO , Langston reengaged and pushed Orton into The Beard ’ s running knee – which allowed Bryan to pick up the huge three - count .
