July 11 , 2014 Smackdown results The July 11 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on July 8 , 2014 at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa , Ontario . Summary . On an explosive SmackDown , two powerhouses locked horns for the first time , unlikely dance partners aligned to “ tango ” with a common problem and a Legend battled a Legend Killer . Kicking off SmackDown , Lana and Rusev wasted little time throwing praise upon Russian leader Vladimir Putin , at the expense of America , Canada and The Bulgarian Brute ’ s Friday night opponent , Roman Reigns . But , the emergence of the powerful former member of The Shield changed that agenda in a hurry , creating an instant cold war of intensity between them . However , just when it looked as if their match might begin sooner than scheduled , The Ravishing Russian stopped her Superstar from battling on Reigns ’ terms . Instead , it seemed they would need to wait for SmackDown ’ s Main Event . In the wake of the monumental announcement that AJ Lee will put her Divas Championship on the line against Paige at WWE Battleground , the reigning titleholder went head - to - head with Cameron . When the former Funkadactyl attempted to make an early exit , her ex - partner Naomi ran down the ramp and hurled her back to the wolves , allowing AJ to finish her off with the Shining Wizard . As Adam Rose journeyed to take on Fandango , the stunning Summer Rae was once again among his Rosebuds . When the blonde bombshell initiated a brawl with Fandango ’ s dance partner Layla outside the ring , however , Fandango ’ s attempt to break up the fray ended up getting him counted - out out of the contest . When he took issue , Rose took the party to him . After dispatching of Heath Slater & Titus O ’ Neil , hitting The One Man Band with the Samoan Splash off the top rope , WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos gave their impression of what will happen when they battle Luke Harper & Eric Rowan in a 2 - out - of - 3 Falls Match for the titles at WWE Battleground . Anytime Chris Jericho battles long - standing rival Randy Orton on SmackDown , it is going to be a fierce showdown . But , in the case of their match on this week ’ s SmackDown , it wouldn ’ t happen without controversy . For at the height of the contest , the creepy tone of The Wyatt Family suddenly rang through the arena , distracting Y2J long enough for The Viper to strike with the RKO for the victory . Following their earlier SmackDown brawl , Summer Rae would come to the ring to take on Layla with Fandango playing special guest referee . ( He even received a competitive kiss from both Divas before the bell ! ) When Fandango decided to do more dancing than officiating , the Divas changed their tune and attacked him instead . After he managed to get out of the ring , they began to dance with each other ! Moments after Goldust overcame Curtis Axel with The Final Cut in singles action , Stardust stopped a post - match assault by throwing what looked like actual stardust in the face of Ryback . Bo Dallas showed that he was indeed “ Handi - capable , ” going 14 - 0 in a Handicap Match by hitting the Running Bo - Dog on Diego . Then , moments after the bell , the inspirational Superstar threw El Torito into the ring and delivered a second , post - match Bo - Dog on the pint - sized Superstar . Just when it looked like Roman Reigns was setting up to hit the Spear on the mighty Rusev in SmackDown ’ s main event showdown , Randy Orton appeared from out of nowhere and leveled the black - clad Superstar . While The Viper ’ s actions forced the referee to call for the bell , it also opened the door for The Hero of the Russian Federation to attack his opponent from behind . Then , as the smoke was still clearing , Orton slithered into the ring and hit the completely war torn Reigns with the RKO .
