May 16 , 2014 Smackdown results The May 16 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on May 13 , 2014 at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro , North Carolina . Summary . With WWE Payback fast approaching , the leader of the Cenation tempted the fury of the monster , with a pair of high - flying equalizers ready to watch his back . John Cena kicked off SmackDown , accepting Bray Wyatt ’ s challenge for a Last Man Standing Match at WWE Payback . However , considering Cena ’ s extensive history in that particular type of match , he figured the only reason his dangerous foe would dare propose the stipulation was because he didn ’ t have any “ marbles ” in his head . Cena then threw down the gauntlet and challenged any member of The Wyatt Family to a SmackDown showdown , allowing The Eater of Worlds to choose the opponent ! Wyatt and his disciplines soon emerged on the TitanTron , thanking Cena for helping him find the cure to his adversary ’ s “ plague ” – namely to take the air from his lungs . The self - professed “ god ” then followed up another frightening rendition of “ He ’ s Got the Whole World in His Hands , ” with a single word : “ burn " ! WWE Universe , the wait is over . Bo Dallas will come to SmackDown next Friday ! Four days after breaking his losing streak with a huge Raw victory , Cody Rhodes and his brother Goldust looked to get back into the hunt for championship gold in a non - title match against WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos . When the action broke down into an absolute free - for - all , though , Jimmy gained the advantage over Cody and broke his one match winning streak with a thunderous splash off the top tope . One week after El Torito pinned Heath Slater in Six - Man Tag Team action , the pint - sized Superstar once again defeated him one - on - one , thanks to a mistake by Hornswoggle and a wicked Bull - Sault . With fellow “ Total Diva ” Eva Marie serving as special guest referee , Natalya looked to defeat Nikki Bella in a Raw rematch . As the third - generation Diva transformed her surfboard submission maneuver into a pin attempt , however , Nikki countered to pick up the pin herself . After making claims on Twitter that Batista was the only member of Evolution that had not actually “ evolved , ” Dolph Ziggler found himself going one - on - one with The Animal on SmackDown . In the height of the action , Batista delivered a low blow to The Showoff , forcing the referee to call the disqualification . Still , before the smoke cleared , the six - time World Champion unleashed the full extent of his rage , hitting Ziggler with a post - match Batista Bomb before viciously hurling him onto the ringside barrier . Prior to their imminent match , Titus O ’ Neil elected to poke fun at Sheamus ’ “ lily white ” appearance and the fact that he was a United States Champion who was not from the U . S . After O ’ Neil unsuccessfully ordered The Celtic Warrior out of “ his ” ring , the bell rang and Sheamus hit his outspoken opponent with an instant Brogue Kick for the victory . Damien Sandow was brimming with confidence after issuing an open challenge to the locker room . However , when Santino Marella answered the call – with a stumbling Emma at his side – and overcame The Enlightened One with the Cobra , an irate Sandow was left to scream his frustration into the microphone . With Paul Heyman explaining to the WWE Universe that the real “ truth ” was actually his client , Cesaro , The King of Swing overcame R - Truth with a fierce uppercut / Neutralizer combination . Despise John Cena ’ s earlier challenge to take on any member of The Wyatt Family leader ’ s choosing , it looked as if the “ New Face of Fear ” came to SmackDown ’ s main event ready to launch a 3 - on - 1 assault . However , the sudden addition of WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos made the creepy trio put that plan on hold . Instead of taking on the match himself , Bray then chose Erick Rowan to face the leader of the Cenation . As the action of the hard - fought contest reached a fevered pitch , The Usos disposed of an interfering Luke Harper , paving the way for the 11 - time WWE Champion to rally back from the Claw and triumph over Rowan with an Attitude Adjustment .
