September 14 , 2012 Smackdown results The September 14 , 2012 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on September 11 , 2012 at the Scotiabank Place in Ottawa , Ontario , Canada . Summary . With Night of Champions two days away , The Great White would battle WWE ’ s submission specialist , Daniel Bryan , in a hard - fought WrestleMania rematch — without the help of his banned Brogue Kick . Meanwhile , The Viper , Randy Orton , looked to best Tensai and an explosive Fatal 4 - Way Intercontinental Title Match was created for the imminent pay - per - view . With his strongest opportunity yet to overcome World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus at Night of Champions , Alberto Del Rio came before the WWE Universe , giving Booker T a nod for banning the Brogue Kick one week ago . The injured Ricardo Rodriguez then thanked his mother and all his “ fans ” for their support , while the now - injured David Otunga criticized Raw General Manager AJ Lee for putting him in a dangerous match against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus on Monday . The Mexican Aristocrat then surprised all by presenting Christian via satellite — still recovering from a shoulder injury of his own . While Captain Charisma made no bones of the fact that he didn ’ t like Del Rio and that he hoped The Great White defeated him at Night of Champions , his feelings on the Brogue Kick were just as clear . Citing the maneuver as one of the primary reasons he lost a year of his career , the former World Heavyweight Champion stated that Sheamus ’ finisher should remain banned . One week ago in tag team action , The Miz was accidently kicked by his own partner , Cody Rhodes — a mistake that led directly to their loss . Then , three days later on Raw , after a distraction by Miz helped Rhodes overcame Rey Mysterio , The Awesome One was treated to the Cross Rhodes — courtesy of the grandson of a plumber . In response to recent events , Miz looked to take out the full extent of his frustration out on the high - octane Sin Cara . However , an unorthodox style of his gravity - defying masked opponent allowed him to rise above the Intercontinental Champion for a huge upset pinfall ! Later , when Rhodes , Mysterio and Sin Cara all interrupted Miz ’ interview with Matt Striker , Senior Adviser Theodore Long declared — on behalf of SmackDown General Manager Booker T — that the four Superstars would compete in a Fatal 4 - Way Intercontinental Championship Match at Night of Champions . Prior to Kane ’ s SmackDown match against Kofi Kingston , Daniel Bryan and The Devil Favorite Demon incorporated stress balls into their ongoing therapy , as Dr . Shelby continued to help the new No . 1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Titles deal with their anger management . When The Big Red Monster finally did face Kofi one - on - one , he caught his high - flying Superstar off the top rope and leveled him with the Chokeslam for the win . After the bell , when Dr . Shelby appeared , the masked Superstar hesitantly re - entered the ring and gave his fallen opponent a post - match hug . But , will Kane and Bryan be able to keep their anger under control and work together at Night of Champions to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships ? Just two days before he will face Mr . Money in the Bank , Dolph Ziggler , at Night of Champions , Randy Orton asked to battle Tensai one - on - one for the first - time ever . While Tensai truly threw his weight around , using every part of himself to overpower WWE ’ s Apex Predator to give him a brutal beatdown , The Viper would roar back . After knocking Sakamoto from the apron and withstanding a last ditch assault that nearly put him away , Orton overcame Tensai with the RKO . As the smoke cleared , Vickie Guerrero emerged , speaking for Dolph Ziggler while , at the same time , claiming that he had taken the night off . Orton refuted The Queen Divas ’ claims that he would be beat by Ziggler this Sunday and that he would never be the World Champion again , before anticipating The Showoff ’ s sneak attack and thwarting his efforts . Angry that his Night of Champions challenger will be determined in a pay - per - view Pre - Show Battle Royal this Sunday , Antonio Cesaro shared his outrage in five languages . Before long , Tyson Kidd would emerge to take exception “ in Canadian , ” only to be hurled over the top rope by the irate United States Champion . But , after Brodus Clay stepped through the ropes , the combined assault of the two Superstars ultimately sent the smug Swiss Superstar packing . And afterward , both The Funkasaurus and the last graduate of the Hart Family Dungeon got Funky , dancing all the way to Night of Champions . With Divas Champion Layla looking on in the back four days before their title clash at Night of Champions , Kaitlyn battled one of the most dominating former – Divas Champions in history , Beth Phoenix . However , when The Glamazon went for the Glam Slam on the No . 1 contender , Kaitlyn suddenly countered for a monumental victory ! Will Kaitlyn ’ s triumph over The Fabulous Firebird give her the momentum she needs to overcome the first English - born Divas Champion ? One week ago on SmackDown , Sheamus ’ devastating Brogue Kick was banned by General Manager Booker T . This week , just two days before his World Heavyweight Title Match against Alberto Del Rio , The Great White found himself in a WrestleMania rematch against Daniel Bryan — the very Superstar he overcame in 18 seconds with the outlawed finisher to claim his illustrious title at The Showcase of the Immortals . Looking on , in the back , was Del Rio himself — with Ricardo Rodriguez and David Otunga in tow . The hard - hitting showdown that ensued would be much longer than its predecessor on The Grandest Stage of Then All . Instead , the WWE Universe would bear witness to a tremendous back - and - forth struggle , both inside and outside the ring , between the Irish Superstar who loves to fight and the technically elite competitor who once stated that he know more than 100 submission maneuvers . While Bryan proved very effective against The Celtic Warrior — including his constant efforts to control his anger management issues — in the end , it wasn ’ t enough . And after escaping a submission finisher , Sheamus would make Bryan tap out with the Cloverleaf for the huge victory . Despite the win , it remains to be seen whether The Great White will be able to triumph over Del Rio at Night of Champions , without the crown jewel of his arsenal at the ready .
