July 12 , 2013 Smackdown results The July 12 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on July 9 , 2013 at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton , Virginia . Summary . On the final stop before one of the most important pay - per - views of the year , Superstars and Divas alike kicked it into overdrive in a furious Friday night struggle for momentum . Two days before they will compete in the highly anticipated Money in the Bank All - Stars Ladder Match , Daniel Bryan squared off against Christian . And in an incredible back - and - forth contest that pushed both Superstars to the limit , WWE ’ s submission specialist caught his opponent coming off the top rope – using Captain Charisma ’ s forward motion to help cinch in the “ Yes ! ” Lock and secure yet another huge victory over a WWE titan . After Vickie Guerrero was fired on Raw , the Senior Advisor to the SmackDown General Manager took decisive action to make sure that he wouldn ’ t be next . In order to keep Dolph Ziggler from attacking World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio – two days before their World Title Match at Money in the Bank – Teddy Long ” requested ” that The Showoff take off . Fully prepared to challenge the WWE Tag Team Champions alongside his brother this Sunday at Money in the Bank Kickoff , Jey Uso battled one - on - one with Seth Rollins on SmackDown . After Roman Reigns dropped Jimmy outside the ring , the distraction he created allowed Rollins to knock Jey onto the top turnbuckle and then stomp him into the canvas with authority for the three - count . After handing Curtis Axel his first loss since beginning his association with Paul Heyman this past Monday on Raw , Chris Jericho once again locked horns with the Intercontinental Champion on SmackDown . In the height of the heated confrontation , Y2J hit a Codebreaker on the titleholder , sending him flying out of the ring . Axel couldn ’ t answer the count in time – resulting in his second loss of the week to the six - time World Champion ! Following the match , a flabbergasted Axel tore up the ringside area . Will he pull it together in time to put his title on the line against No . 1 contender The Miz this Sunday ? After an apparent knee injury caused Ryback to stop his match against The Miz two weeks ago on Raw , The Awesome One got another opportunity to wreck The Human Wrecking Ball on the blue brand . While it looked as if the recurring leg damage might once again cause Ryback to end the competition early , the intense Superstar instead used the momentary pause in the action to clothesline the former WWE Champion and hit Shell Shocked for the important pin fall . With the majority of the Divas Division surrounding them , Divas Champion AJ Lee and Kaitlyn emerged to make their Money in the Bank Title Match official . After both battling beauties affixed their names to the title contract for this Sunday ' s pay - per - view showdown , AJ proceeded to reveal a series of embarrassing text messages that the Hybrid Diva had once supposedly sent to her “ secret admirer ” – some of which badmouthed the Divas present in the ring . When Kaitlyn fired back , promising to recapture the butterfly - emblazoned title this Sunday and send her unhinged adversary to the loony bin , AJ slapped her . In response , the powerful No . 1 contender broke loose , pushing AJ and the entire conference table into the corner and unleashing an explosive attack . When Big E Langston pulled Kaitlyn away , she slapped him and speared AJ for the second time in a week . With their World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money in the Bank Ladder Match opponents Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger joining Zeb Colter at the SmackDown announce table , Fandango battled Wade Barrett . This came four days after Barrett sucker punched the dancing Superstar on Raw . However , moments after Team Rhodes Scholars emerged and kicked the dust - up outside the ring , Fandango took advantage of the commotion and rolled up The Barrett Barrage for the quick victory . Two days before he puts the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Dolph Ziggler , Alberto Del Rio was supposed to face Sin Cara . Instead , it appeared as if Ziggler – dressed as the high - flyer in order to get around Teddy Long ’ s order to stay away from the titleholder – attacked before the bell ! The would - be Sin Cara hit the Zig Zag , sending a strong message that he is coming to get his title back . As the dust cleared , Vickie Guerrero surprised the WWE Universe by emerging from the crowd . The recently fired Queen Diva was forced to buy a ticket and was now opting to cause a down - right screeching scene . So Teddy Long had one word for her : “ Security ! ” In the back , Long attempted to admonish who he thought was a masked Ziggler for his disruption . However , as he laid down the law , the actual Showoff showed up at the same time , leaving the Senior Advisor completely perplexed . In the SmackDown main event , Money in the Bank All - Stars Sheamus and Randy Orton went head - to - head in an absolutely off - the - hook slugfest . And when both Superstars spilled outside the ring in the match ’ s final moments , Daniel Bryan made a surprise appearance . Utilizing a ladder from under the ring , the scruffy Superstar knocked both The Viper and The Celtic Warrior to the canvas . While his actions brought an end to the official competition , a fierce post - match struggle quickly erupted to see who could get to the top of the ladder and claim a symbolic victory heading into Sunday ’ s Money in the Bank All - Stars Ladder Match . The action moved to the next rung , however , when Christian joined the fray and didn ’ t stop until Orton blasted Bryan with a thunderous RKO before climbing the ladder and staking his claim to Money in the Bank success .
