October 18 , 2013 Smackdown results The October 18 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 15 , 2013 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City , Missouri . Summary . With Hell in a Cell just nine days away , disorder took over SmackDown as Big Show KO ’ d Raw ’ s General Manager , CM Punk got some unlikely assistance against the forces of Paul Heyman , World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio disarmed Josh Mathews and Daniel Bryan helped the new WWE Tag Team Champions turn back The Hounds . Following the chaos that engulfed Raw Monday night , SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero explained that The Authority had charged her with the responsibility of maintaining discipline on SmackDown . She would be aided by visiting Raw General Manager Brad Maddox , who was tasked with keeping the fired Big Show out of the building . However , the dubious duo was soon interrupted by Daniel Bryan , who made it clear he was ready to face Randy Orton inside Hell in a Cell for the WWE Title with special guest referee Shawn Michaels . Bryan then went on to introduce none other than Big Show ! While this announcement turned out to be nothing more than the giant ’ s entrance music , The Beard did usher in new WWE Tag Team Champions , Cody Rhodes & Goldust . In response to this breakdown in discipline , the Queen Diva placed the Rhodes brothers and Bryan into a Six - Man Tag Team Match main event against The Shield . After The Wyatt Family ’ s presence made The Miz lose to Randy Orton on Raw , The Awesome One joined forces with Kofi Kingston to take on Luke Harper & Erick Rowan . In spite of a hard - fought effort , however , Harper would put The Wildcat down with a brutal clothesline . As the smoke cleared , Bray Wyatt ’ s followers stalked their fallen adversaries from the ring apron . But their leader held them at bay , sending a cryptic message to Miz that he should enjoy his world as long as he can because The Wyatt Family would soon take everything away . Four days after AJ Lee and Tamina punished Brie Bella in a ruthless 2 - on - 1 assault on Raw , the fiancé of Daniel Bryan battled the Divas Champion one - on - one . In the final moments , as Nikki side - stepped a Tamina charge outside the ring – causing the daughter of Jimmy “ Superfly ” Snuka to collide with the steel steps – Brie hit the facebuster on the unhinged AJ for a huge non - title victory . Just as Lilian Garcia was about to introduce the next SmackDown contest , Big Show emerged from the crowd and asked for the microphone . Displaying a ticket autographed by Daniel Bryan – which clearly allowed him to get back on the blue brand – the giant thanked the WWE Universe for their continued support . In the middle of The World ’ s Largest Athlete ' s heartfelt words , Brad Maddox and Vickie Guerrero rushed down to the ring in an attempt to shut him down . Maddox shouted that Big Show had already lost everything and should just leave . This suggestion paved the way for the giant with nothing to lose to KO the Raw General Manager ! Moments after CM Punk reigned supreme in an ultra - intense matchup against WWE ’ s “ young gun ” Big E Langston – turning back the up - and - comer ’ s Big Ending to hit the GTS – Paul Heyman congratulated his former friend on the victory over a “ marginally talented rookie , barely out of the NXT division . ” While Punk had already won the right to face Ryback & Heyman in a Handicap Match inside Hell in a Cell at the pay - per - view in nine days , the “ mad scientist ” hurled another 2 - on - 1 situation in the direction of The Straight Edge Superstar – sending The Human Wrecking Ball and Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel storming to the ring . However , some surprising assistance would soon even the odds , as a revitalized Big E suddenly rose to join in The Second City Saint ’ s fight and help send the Heyman Guys packing ! When Josh Mathews asked World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio to comment on facing the returning John Cena at WWE Hell in a Cell , “ Mexico ’ s greatest export ” called the 11 - time WWE Champion “ the ultimate gringo ” and said he had no business returning from a two month absence to battle him at the top of the pile . Del Rio claimed the Cenation leader had gone soft , before demonstrating what he has in store for the former champion by locking Mathews in the Cross Armbreaker . Later , in a SmackDown Exclusive video , Matthews stormed off of SmackDown , claiming that WWE had become an unsafe work environment . It remains to be seen whether the outraged announcer will report to work on Monday ’ s Raw . When a sudden Los Matadores entrance interrupted the match between Jimmy & Jey Uso and Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro , Zeb Colter rushed up the ramp to secure the border . However , he was abruptly stopped by El Torito , who hit the controversial mouthpiece with a pair of gores . The commotion ultimately paved the way for The Usos to pick up the win with a big splash off the top rope . Prior to the six - man main event that would see Daniel Bryan & new WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Goldust face off against The Shield , Randy Orton came before the WWE Universe to guarantee that he would defeat Daniel Bryan at Hell in a Cell to once again become the WWE Champion and the Face of WWE . In the chaotic match that followed – a free - for - all that incorporated everything from the steel ring steps to the announce table – Daniel Bryan leveled United States Champion Dean Ambrose with a running knee to capture the huge victory for himself and the tough - as - nails tag team titleholders .
