December 13 , 2013 Smackdown results The December 13 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on December 10 , 2013 at the Moda Center in Portland , Oregon . Summary . Two days before the historic Tables , Ladders & Chairs Match to determine the Champion of Champions at WWE TLC , Randy Orton offered an apology to The Authority . Plus , Daniel Bryan knocked Bray Wyatt off his rocker and CM Punk delivered the best kind of message to The Shield . Though Daniel Bryan was able to fend off a distraction by Luke Harper in the final moments of his intense match against Erick Rowan , Bray Wyatt tripped up The Beard and forced the referee to end the contest in a disqualification . However , after dodging a post - match beat down by Wyatt ’ s disciples , Bryan hit his patented flying knee on Bray outside the ring , knocking the creepy Eater of Worlds out of his rocking chair . The former World Champion then continued to the top of the ramp to share a thunderous “ YES ! ” chant with the electrified WWE Universe , celebrating the acquisition of major momentum heading into his 3 - on - 1 clash against The Wyatt Family at WWE TLC this Sunday . Prior to Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger ’ s match against the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions , Zeb Colter seemed to question the immigration status of “ Señor ” Santa Claus himself . The Real Americans then went on to score a pinfall on the 2013 Slammy Award - winning titleholders , Cody Rhodes & Goldust , in a fast - paced non - title slugfest . While Cody seemed to take control in the midst of all - out mayhem , he made the critical mistake of turning his attention to Swagger one time too many , allowing Cesaro to yank him off the top rope and directly into a vicious uppercut elbow for the victory . For the second week in a row , Bad News Barrett put the “ smack ” in SmackDown , informing the WWE Universe that , while they had engaged in a record - breaking voting campaign during Monday ’ s 2013 Slammy Awards , their opinions were ultimately “ worthless . ” “ Decorum , please ! ” Seconds after the No . 1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship , Damien Sandow , opted to get intentionally counted - out against Mark Henry , reigning titleholder Big E Langston powered his way up from commentary and threw The Intellectual Savior of the Masses back into the waiting arms of The World ’ s Strongest Man . But , as Henry dished out additional post - match punishment on his opponent , the slippery Sandow got loose and delivered a shot to Big E before making a quick getaway . With the No . 1 contender to the Divas Title , Natalya , joining the SmackDown announcers , Divas Champion AJ Lee & Tamina Snuka took on the Slammy - anointed “ Divas of the Year , ” The Bella Twins . Their prestigious gain was an honor that left the current Divas Champion thirsty for retribution . And in the final moments of their SmackDown showdown , AJ capitalized on a distraction , pushing Brie into Nikki before making the former tap out to the Black Window . Following the bell , the Divas Champion taunted her WWE TLC No . 1 contender . But , will she still be smiling after Sunday ’ s showdown ? Two days before he faces Randy Orton in a historic TLC Match to determine the Champion of Champions , John Cena acknowledged his 12 - year history with The Viper , recognizing both how dangerous Orton is and , in his opinion , how his opponent really has a glass jaw – running from trouble whenever things get too tough . Cena said that he , in contrast , would always get back up through the excruciating turmoil of the TLC showdown , promising to emerge from the historical contest as the Champion of Champions ! Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns geared up for Sunday ’ s pay - per - view showdown against the high - flying Jimmy & Jey Uso on the blue brand . With United States Champion Dean Ambrose at the SmackDown announce table fielding questions about the WWE TLC 3 - on - 1 Handicap Match against CM Punk and possible cracks in The Shield , his Slammy award - winning brethren defeated the Samoan warriors after a wicked Spear by Reigns . But , following the bell , CM Punk broadcasted from an “ undisclosed location ” – the preferred sounding post of The Hounds of Justice , actually – to deliver a message of his own . Believing he will be , in fact , walking into a slaughter during their 3 - on - 1 showdown at WWE TLC , The Second City Saint reiterated that he will take as many of them down with him as he can . Punk also pointed out that he had exposed his opponents ’ weaknesses during recent encounters , and suggested that The Shield believe in The Best in the World . Before the newly announced WWE TLC Fatal 4 - Way Tag Team Match this Sunday , the mighty Big Show took on Ryback on SmackDown . After The World ’ s Largest Athlete overcame The Human Wrecking Ball with a chokeslam , he threw a meddling Curtis Axel into Rey Mysterio ’ s follow - up 619 – a maneuver that sent the son of Mr . Perfect flying back into the giant ’ s waiting KO Punch . After being savagely attacked by Alberto Del Rio in a pre - match assault one week ago , Kofi Kingston returned to the blue brand , looking for retribution against the Essence of Excellence . But The Wildcat would again be engaged before the bell , as longstanding rival The Miz blasted Kingston with a Skull Crushing Finale onto the ringside floor . With the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships hanging above the ring – a symbol of the historic Champion of Champions clash between Randy Orton and John Cena at WWE TLC this Sunday – The Viper called out COO Triple H to apologize for “ accidently ” knocking down Stephanie McMahon during the Championship Ascension Ceremony on Raw . The Viper proceeded to back up his point with more than one camera replay that showed how the incident was not his fault . While The Game accepted Orton ’ s apology and chose not to fire him because it wouldn ’ t be “ best for business , ” The Face of WWE then asked Triple H to respond to a look of seeming unity between The Authority and John Cena , moments after Stephanie was knocked down . When asked if they had the same faith in Orton as The Viper has in himself , the COO shook Orton ’ s hand and responded that The Authority knows exactly where their faith lies . It was an ambiguous statement to be sure , leaving The Viper – and the WWE Universe – to wonder just who The Authority will be rooting for on Sunday .
