October 19 , 2012 Smackdown results The October 19 , 2012 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 16 , 2012 at the FedExForum in Memphis , Tennessee . Summary . Surrounded by Superstars , Word Heavyweight Champion Sheamus went head - to - head with the Barrett Barrage for the third time in two weeks , while The World ' s Largest Athlete sent an earth - shattering statement to both The Great White and Dolph Ziggler , and Randy Orton made The Miz ' s horrific week even worse . On the heels of his Intercontinental Championship loss to Kofi Kingston on WWE Main Event this past Wednesday , an intense Miz opened “ Miz TV ” by invoking his rematch against the high - flying new champion at WWE Hell in a Cell . He then went on to introduce his guests , the volatile WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No . When Daniel Bryan threatened him , the outspoken Awesome One suggested that the submission specialist was clearly “ the problem ” within the dysfunctional tag team titleholders before stating that whomever they ended up facing at the coming pay - per - view in nine days — Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara or Team Rhodes Scholars — Team Hell No would be defeated Far above the ring in a luxury box , Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez observed the impromptu match between former Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Del Rio ’ s recently named Hell in a Cell opponent , Randy Orton . When approached by Matt Striker , Del Rio reiterated that Orton was afraid of him and that he was , in fact , “ WWE ’ s new Apex Predator . ” For his part , The Viper kept one serpentine eye on The Awesome One and one on The Mexican Aristocrat throughout the entire contest . And after pointing up to his Hell in a Cell adversary and avoiding Miz ’ s Skull - Crushing Finale , Orton struck with the RKO for the pin . While Orton invited Del Rio down to the squared circle after the match , The Mexican Aristocrat informed him and the WWE Universe that a showdown between them would be on his terms , not those of WWE ’ s Apex Predator . Monday on Raw , Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow will battle Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara in the final of the WWE Tag Team Title No . 1 Contenders ’ Tournament . As they looked to gain momentum with a fierce battle against Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd , Team Rhodes Scholars continued to attempt to prove themselves the most intellectually superior tag team in WWE . And in the final moments of their SmackDown tag team match , Kidd didn ’ t see Sandow tag Rhodes into the match , choosing instead to put The Intellectual Savior of the Masses in the Sharpshooter . This left him wide open to suffer the Disaster Kick from the legal Superstar , Rhodes , who quickly picked up the victory as Sandow stopped Gabriel from interfering . Whether their actions were planned or not , Team Rhodes Scholars is clearly an elite team , ready for the tournament final Monday . But will they make the dangerous mistake of looking ahead to WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No before they even face Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara ? In SmackDown ’ s second explosive tag team match of the night , a contest made by GM Booker T earlier in the show , Big Show joined forces with Dolph Ziggler against the dreaded , dysfunctional WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No . In the brutal showdown that followed , Bryan kicked Big Show ’ s feet out from under him , dropping the immense giant off the ring apron , before tagging Kane in . The Big Red Monster eventually went for the Chokeslam on The Showoff . But before Kane could execute , Bryan once again tagged himself in . As The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon brought the distraction to their adversaries , Bryan made Mr . Money in the Bank tap out with the “ No ! ” Lock . As the titleholders engaged in a post - match argument , once again screaming “ I am the Tag Team Champions ! ” to each other at the top of the ramp , they were suddenly attacked from behind by Team Rhodes Scholars , who sent a strong message that they intend to challenge them at WWE Hell in a Cell . After insulting the famous Sun Studio , and America in general , earlier in the day in Memphis , Tenn . , Cesaro took on Ted DiBiase on SmackDown . But after hitting his opponent with a European uppercut as he was leaping off the ropes , the U . S . Champion executed the Neutralizer on DiBiase for another dominant win . Continuing their scourge through WWE , 3MB members Drew McIntyre , Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater took the mic on SmackDown , proclaiming — in enthusiastic fashion prior to Slater ’ s match with Brodus Clay — they were the greatest group of all time . It was The Funkasaurus whom the trio first attacked after making their alliance . And thanks to the distraction by his fellow 3MB cohorts , Slater drove Clay headfirst to the canvas for another impressive triumph . It ’ s quickly becoming clear that , while the group may not have done much individually in recent memory , the SmackDown locker room needs to keep a close eye on the emerging 3MB . Ever since Kaitlyn was mysteriously attacked at Night of Champions , controversy has swarmed around the Divas division about who attacked the up - and - coming competitor . In the midst of the many still - unanswered questions , Divas Champion Eve joined the SmackDown announce team as former champion Layla took on Natalya . In what was already a challenging matchup for both battling beauties , the English Diva eventually turned her attention to Eve outside the ring , allowing her third - generation opponent to take charge . But then , from out of nowhere , Layla roared back with a powerful kick for the victory . After competing against each other in two fierce matchups in the last two weeks , World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and Wade Barrett battled in another furious contest , this time surrounded by lumberjacks . And just when anarchy was breaking out at the height of the SmackDown main event among the Superstars at ringside , WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No joined the fray . They battled through the melee of brawling competitors with one goal in mind , to pay Team Rhodes Scholars back for their sneak attack earlier in the show . When Rhodes leaped into the ring to avoid disaster and Sheamus attempted to get him out , Barrett charged The Great White . This move ultimately backfired , however , as the English Superstar was soon treated to Sheamus ’ devastating Brogue Kick and the inevitable end of the match .
