August 10 , 2012 Smackdown results The August 10 , 2012 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on August 7 , 2012 at the Toyota Center in Houston , Texas . Summary . With the Toyota Center filled to the rafters , SummerSlam appeared to be coming early – following the monumental announcement of the first SmackDown World Heavyweight Title Match of the Booker T era . However , The Great White ’ s explosive clash with Alberto Del Rio came to a screeching halt before it got started , thanks to a controversial interruption from the boys in uniform . SmackDown General Manager Booker T returned home to Houston , starting things off for the blue brand in electrifying fashion . After treating the WWE Universe a Spinaroonie in his tux , he proclaimed , “ Houston , we have a problem ! ” In a bold move , the five - time WCW Champion ordered the first - ever Irish - born World Heavyweight Champion , Sheamus , to apologize for his actions four days earlier on Raw . This included his “ borrowing ” Del Rio ’ s classic sports car , taking it for a joy ride and returning it completely trashed . Prior to his match with Sin Cara , a contest created by SmackDown General Manager Booker T one week ago — Cody Rhodes proclaimed that the true reason his opponent wore a mask is that there is nothing special about him whatsoever . And once the fast - paced contest got underway , the grandson of a plumber seemed just as concerned with taking off his mysterious foe ’ s covering as he was with winning . But , when he went for the mask one time too many , Sin Cara took advantage of his opponent ’ s obsession , rolling him up for the quick three - count . While berating the WWE Universe for chanting “ Yes ! ” with a fierce “ No ! ” chant of his own — complaining about being labeled “ unstable ” and being put in a match with Kane at SummerSlam by Raw General Manager AJ Lee — Daniel Bryan was interrupted by The Big Red Monster . But before physicality broke out , AJ Lee emerged — a special guest of SmackDown GM Booker T . After sharing a moment With The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon in which she thanked him for being sweet to her when others were so miserable , Miss Lee ordered Bryan to shake Kane ’ s hand — a demonstration that he did not have anger management issues and that they would have a good match at the coming pay - per - view . However , after he reluctantly tried , Kane attacked , nearly chokeslamming his foe . Bryan failed to hit the “ No ! ” Lock , before The Big Red Monster booted him out of the ring , chasing him and causing him to flee into the crowd . And with the masked Superstar left alone in the ring , AJ laughed on the top of the ramp , stating “ That was great ! ” In an effort to prove that he can do exactly what Ryback has done over the past few months , Jinder Mahal requested to face two competitors at the same time . In no time at all , the Punjabi Superstar impressively overcame the odds with the Camel Clutch — first on one of his opponents for the win and then on both opponents at the same time after the bell . Nevertheless , when Ryback emerged after the match , Mahal wasted no time leaping out of town . With his adversary in retreat , Ryback sent a message of his own , hitting a double Shell Shocked on Mahal ’ s fallen opponents . Vickie Guerrero came onto the “ Highlight Reel ” - the controversial show returning to SmackDown for the first time in two years - all by her lonesome , declaring that Dolph Ziggler would not appear on the show as schedule . As a result , she set herself up to suffer a sea of insults at the hands of the outspoken Chris Jericho . But , when the question was once again raised as to whether Jericho could still win “ the big one , ” the first - ever Undisputed WWE Champion accepted a challenge to face Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam — reinstituting his Y2J persona in the process . When The Showoff ambushed the outrageous grappler moments later , Jericho took him down . However , after a Vickie slap distracted Jericho , Ziggler recovered enough to hit the Zig Zag , blasting his newly named SummerSlam opponent with the Money in the Bank contract briefcase . As a result of a Tout announcement by SmackDown General Manager Booker T earlier in the week , Epico & Primo and A . W . ’ s Prime Time Players squared off in a No . 1 Contender ’ s Match for the right to challenge the WWE Tag Team Champions . As they did , titleholders R - Truth & Kofi Kingston joined the SmackDown announce team for a ringside seat . But just when it looked like his Superstars might be close to defeat , the crafty A . W . suddenly threw water on the WWE Tag Team Champions outside the ring , purposely provoking them to retaliate inside the ring and thereby giving his Prime Time Players the disqualification triumph over Epico & Primo . Right or wrong , O ’ Neil & Young emerged with the WWE Tag Team Title No . 1 contender ’ s spot . Before a tough matchup against Christian , Antonio Cesaro shared the word “ victory ” to the WWE Universe in five different languages . He then effortlessly rattled off something else in foreign speak , to put himself above the people that didn ’ t understand him . The Swiss Warrior continued to show an incredible amount of versatility once the bell rang , including throwing Christian into the void long enough to hit him with a furious uppercut in midair . Still , after Captain Charisma countered his opponent ’ s Neutralizer for the second time of the night , he would ultimately reign supreme with an earth shattering Spear out of nowhere . As the dust settled , though , Aksana distracted the former World Heavyweight Champion , allowing an incensed Cesaro to knock the victor from the ring — hurling him into the ringside barrier at full force . Moments after The Miz caught Rey Mysterio ’ s legs to counter The Ultimate Underdog ’ s 619 attempt , The Awesome One looked ready to execute the Skull - Crushing Finale . But , at the last second , the masked Superstar countered once again , reversing to score a quick pin on the Intercontinental Champion !
