October 4 , 2013 Smackdown results The October 4 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 1 , 2013 at the Baton Rouge River Center in Baton Rouge , Louisiana . Summary . With WWE Battleground two days away , Daniel Bryan helped Big Show battle overwhelming odds , RVD and Alberto Del Rio tuned up for their Hardcore clash and major pay - per - view matches were made ! SmackDown opened on a somewhat somber note , as Big Show poured out his heart to the WWE Universe after weeks of being forced to do the bidding of “ The Authority . ” Explaining to his increasingly disappointed fans that he was “ ashamed ” of his “ unforgiveable ” actions , The World ’ s Largest Athlete tried to get their understanding for his impossible predicament . But Big Show was interrupted by WWE ’ s omnipresent COO Triple H , who explained to the giant that he had paid off his mortgage . The catch ? The Game is the new owner of Big Show ’ s home ! With this new wrinkle now hanging over his head , Big Show ’ s desire to KO Punch the COO was ( momentarily ) quelled . The Game then one - upped the previously announced SmackDown main event , adding “ The Face of WWE , ” Randy Orton , to team Shield and making it a 4 - on - 1 Handicap Match ! With his Battleground Hardcore Rules Match against Alberto Del Rio for the World Title at WWE Battleground just two days away , RVD scored a Disqualification victory over Fandango on SmackDown after Summer Rae ’ s interference prevented the high - flyer from connecting with the Five - Star Frog Splash . After the bell , the dancing Superstar tip - toed into the realm of hardcore himself , looking under the ring for weaponry . But the ECW Original turned the tables , grabbing a garbage can and nailing his fleet - footed foe with a Van Terminator , leaving Fandango to suffer both indignation and loss . If RVD shows the same Extreme disposition Sunday night , it could spell the end of the Mexican Champion ’ s World Title reign . With Paul Heyman at ringside , Ryback decimated R - Truth on the blue brand , putting down a potential comeback by The Rapping Superstar with Shell Shocked . But the destruction didn ’ t stop there , as Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel emerged to kick Truth while he was down , softening up his challenger ahead of their WWE Battleground match with the Intercontinental Title on the line . Later , speaking on behalf of his two charges , Curtis Axel and Ryback , Paul Heyman first addressed R - Truth , then turned his attention to CM Punk , and promised losses for both Superstars at WWE Battleground . While being asked about competing in his first - ever Battleground Hardcore Rules Match , World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio was presented with a message in the form of a smashed garbage can , courtesy of his Sunday opponent , Rob Van Dam ! World Champion Alberto Del Rio shut down The Showoff on Friday night ’ s best show . As Mr . Money in the Bank — and Dolph Ziggler ’ s WWE Battleground Kickoff opponent — Damien Sandow joined the commentary team , The Mexican Superstar showed flashes of his hardcore side as the match continued on the WWE App , perhaps sending a message of his own to RVD . While The Showoff put forth a valiant effort in a back - and - forth bout that culminated in a thrilling exchange , Del Rio was able to catch Ziggler in the Cross Armbreaker to secure a momentum - building SmackDown victory . Will the World Champion be able to make RVD tap out Sunday at WWE Battleground ? Find out , only on pay - per - view ! After their Raw debut set social media ablaze , Los Matadores ( and El Torito ) came to SmackDown for the first time ever and put down 3MB ’ s Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal . As in their Monday night match , Fernando & Diego proved to be a fast - paced tandem , putting their seamless teamwork on display and planting Mahal with a devastating double - team for the victory . A post - match attack by 3MB was quickly quelled when Los Matadores dumped Jinder & Slater to ringside , clearing the road for El Torito to show his athleticism with an over - the - top - rope cross - body to the guitar “ heroes . ” Looking to build up some steam ahead of her WWE Battleground Divas Title Match against champion AJ Lee , Brie Bella scored an impressive victory against Aksana with a face buster off the ropes . But AJ — flanked by enforcer Tamina — arrived to prophesize a bit about their pending pay - per - view encounter , before warning that she would do the same thing to Brie that Randy Orton did to her fiancé , Daniel Bryan , on Raw . The high - flying Kofi Kingston countered the powerhouse offense of Big E Langston , grounding the big man with a lightning - quick counter en route to a huge Friday night win . After the bell rang , however , Bray Wyatt followed up on his Monday threat , cornering The Wildcat with a cryptic challenge for WWE Battleground . Following Bray Wyatt ’ s ominous appearance , SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero officially made Kofi vs . Wyatt at the pay - per - view ! SmackDown ’ s 4 - on - 1 Handicap Match main event descended into chaos when all three members of The Shield joined Randy Orton in swarming The World ’ s Largest Athlete . The match ended in a Disqualification win for Big Show when Dean Ambrose brought a chair to the fight . Though the giant was able to deliver a KO Punch and remove it from Ambrose ’ s clutches , a Roman Reigns spear finally brought him down . The Shield and Orton refused to cease their relentless assault after the bell , though , until The Usos emerged from the back to even the odds ! And when The Viper set up a chair on the downed giant ’ s head , looking to do further damage , Daniel Bryan flew down the ramp and took the Friday night fight to Orton , snapping in the “ Yes ! ” Lock before Ambrose could open the door for The Viper to slither away . But a running knee to the U . S . Champion ’ s head put down the leader of The Shield and sent all four opposing Superstars fleeing from the ring . Will Daniel Bryan have the same kind of success at WWE Battleground ? Find out when he and Randy Orton collide for the vacated WWE Title , only on pay - per - view !
