November 8 , 2013 Smackdown results The November 8 , 2013 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on November 5 , 2013 at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte , North Carolina . Summary . With Survivor Series on the horizon , both The Champ and his new No . 1 contender , Alberto Del Rio , faced fierce adversaries on SmackDown , while CM Punk and Daniel Bryan stood united against The Wyatt Family . CM Punk kicked off a blockbuster episode of the blue brand with a pointed message aimed directly at The Wyatt Family , who mysteriously targeted The Best in the World Monday on Raw . In the middle of challenging the terrifying trio to a showdown on SmackDown , however , The Second City Saint was interrupted by Intercontinental Champion — and Paul Heyman guy — Curtis Axel . The third - generation Superstar began by thanking his “ father figure , ” Paul Heyman , who is currently laid up in a hospital bed in Europe and promised to make Heyman proud by defeating Punk in a one - on - one match on SmackDown made by General Manager Vickie Guerrero ! While CM Punk ultimately took control of his bout against Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel , the untimely distraction of The Wyatt Family ’ s creepy tone opened the door for the third - generation Superstar to rally . The Second City Saint doused the flames of the comeback , though , kicking out of the Perfect Plex to nail Axel with the GTS for the win . But that wasn ’ t the end of the story , as Punk ’ s celebration was cut short by the ominous presence of Bray Wyatt , whose eerie laughter could be heard echoing through the arena . After choosing R - Truth to join them in accepting a Six - Man Tag Team Match challenge thrown down by the members of 3MB , the high - octane Uso brothers sailed to a big Friday night win over the wanna - be rock stars , with Truth driving Jinder Mahal into the canvas for the pin . Before battling The Funkadactyls on SmackDown , Divas Champion AJ Lee had some searing words for the cast of “ Total Divas , ” telling the stars of the hit E ! program – the season premiere of which will take place this Sunday at 10 / 9 CT – that they are taking away the attention from the only person who really matters … the Divas Champion . After her diatribe , AJ & Tamina teamed up to overcome Cameron & Naomi for the first time ever in tag team action , clinching the victory when Tamina literally handed over Cameron so AJ could lock in the Black Widow . Former World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio called current titleholder , John Cena , a “ thief , ” claiming that he was sick and injured during his WWE Hell in a Cell Title Match against the Cenation leader . But the 14 - time World Champion himself arrived with some pointed words for his rival , saying that he — and the rest of the WWE Universe — is also sick : sick and tired of Del Rio “ whining and complaining . ” When Del Rio chimed back in , Cena challenged his predecessor to an impromptu Title Match ! But SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero made sure such an encounter would take place under a larger spotlight — Sunday , Nov . 24 , at Survivor Series , to be exact ! Before that , however , the GM made two matches for later in the night , pitting Cena against the monstrous Ryback in SmackDown ’ s main event and placing Del Rio in action against The Great Khali . After spending the duration of the match trying to bring The Great Khali down , Alberto Del Rio finally locked the gigantic Superstar into the devastating Cross Armbreaker , forcing the Punjabi Playboy to tap out . Will John Cena suffer the same fate when he clashes with the ruthless Del Rio at Survivor Series ? After The Wyatt Family ’ s brutal Oct . 28 backstage attack on Daniel Bryan and the subsequent clash this past Monday on Raw that saw Bryan lend a helping hand to CM Punk , the bearded wonder battled Luke Harper one - on - one on SmackDown . Or , at least , he tried to . Still donning bandages over his injured right shoulder , Bryan valiantly put up a fight against the scarily aggressive Harper . When The Beard somehow managed to kick out after being planted with a thundering power bomb , the submission specialist snapped in the “ YES ! ” Lock on the Wyatt disciple . But Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan emerged to once again assault Bryan , this time leading to a Disqualification victory for the former World Champion . Proving that one good turn does , indeed , deserve another , CM Punk rushed back down to the ring to help Bryan , returning the favor for the submission specialist ’ s Monday night save and scattering the creepy Wyatts to the wind . Vickie Guerrero may have been looking to feed World Heavyweight Champion John Cena to the insatiable Ryback in a huge SmackDown main event , but the Cenation leader looked for a way to rise above his destructive foe . It was a rivalry renewed as Cena and Ryback traded massive blows , and in one thrilling moment , The Champ countered Shell Shocked with a ring - rocking DDT and “ The Big Guy ” countered the Attitude Adjustment with a Jackhammer ! But when Ryback connected with a meat hook clothesline and set Cena up for Shell Shocked yet again , the World Champion somehow wriggled out of imminent danger and hit The Human Wrecking Ball with the AA for the victory . Before The Champ could catch his breath , however , Alberto Del Rio reemerged , leveling Cena with a cheap shot . But the Cenation leader was able to turn the tables , expelling Del Rio from the ring and sending the SmackDown faithful home happy .
