January 31 , 2014 Smackdown results The January 31 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on January 28 , 2014 at the Huntington Center in Toledo , Ohio . Summary . As The Hounds of Justice netted themselves both a frightening pay - per - view showdown and an incredible six - man tag team victory on SmackDown , The Prime Time Players unraveled in brutal fashion and the final two combatants in the Elimination Chamber Match were established . After setting a record by throwing out 12 Superstars in this year ’ s Royal Rumble Match , Roman Reigns joined his fellow Shield members at the opening of SmackDown . But would they be able to co - exist in light of recent events ? While Seth Rollins was forced to play peacemaker between Reigns and United States Champion Dean Ambrose , The Hounds of Justice were united in their goal of dealing with the “ intruders ” in “ their yard , ” namely The Wyatt Family . Four days after the creepy faction cost The Shield their chance at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match , they resolved to wipe Bray Wyatt and his disciples off the face of the earth . However , before SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero could rule on their challenge , WWE COO Triple H emerged . While The Game told The Shield to let it go , Reigns boldly stood in his face . His determination helped convince The King of Kings to make a colossal Six - Man Tag Team Match in the Elimination Chamber pay - per - view : The Shield vs . The Wyatts ! Following Dolph Ziggler ’ s victory over The Miz in the Battle of Cleveland on Monday , The Showoff rolled into SmackDown looking to overcome Antonio Cesaro in the first of two Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches of the night . In the end , though , it was one - half of The Real Americans who would power through , hitting a Cesaro Swing / Neutralizer combination for the important three - count and an opportunity at Randy Orton ’ s WWE World Heavyweight Title . Once again , NXT Diva Emma was spotted in the crowd during Fandango ’ s SmackDown match against Xavier Woods . But this time , Summer Rae confronted her , ripping apart a sign she was holding . Luckily for Emma , she had replacement all ready to go . While Fandango reigned supreme inside the ring , his post - match attack on Xavier was quickly thwarted by R - Truth . This paved the way for Truth , Woods and The Funkadactyls to engage in another Funky celebration dance . Moments after Curtis Axel pinned Darren Young in tag team action , Titus O ’ Neil – who was never tagged into the match – informed his war torn partner that he would not be a loser and was therefore ending their partnership . Titus then opted to viciously attack Mr . No Days Off . While Antonio Cesaro successfully qualified for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match earlier in the night , his partner , Jack Swagger , did not . Instead , with Zeb Colter joining the SmackDown announce team , it was the returning Christian who took Swagger down with an explosive Frog Splash . As a result , all six participants in the Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title were established , setting the stage for what is sure to be all - out bedlam on Feb 23 . After a rough few months – capped off by his quick elimination in Sunday ’ s Royal Rumble Match – Damien Sandow looked to turn it all around against Kofi Kingston . But The Wildcat had other plans , spoiling his efforts with the SOS . After the bell , the Intellectual Savior of the Masses appeared dejected . Although Billy Gunn took down Goldust outside the ring , Cody Rhodes delivered a pair of Disaster Kicks to the WWE Tag Team Champions before ultimately picking up the three - count on Road Dogg . After the bell , the Rhodes brothers continued to take it to the six - time Tag Team Champions , a definite sign that Monday ’ s Steel Cage Title rematch will be extremely intense . With their Elimination Chamber pay - per - view match against The Wyatt Family set in stone , The Shield went to battle against Daniel Bryan , Rey Mysterio & Sheamus – returning to SmackDown after a long - standing injury . In the height of the thunderous contest that followed , a back - and - forth melee – both inside and outside the ring – came to a sudden halt when Roman Reigns stopped Rey Mysterio ’ s 619 attempt with an earth - shattering Spear .
