November 2 , 2012 Smackdown results The November 2 , 2012 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on October 30 , 2012 at the Crown Center in Fayetteville , North Carolina . Summary . Five days after two KO Punches allowed Big Show to reign supreme over Sheamus and capture the World Heavyweight Title at Hell in a Cell , the giant joined forces with The Miz to overcome The Celtic Warrior & Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a furious main event . Meanwhile , when Alberto Del Rio helped the Barrett Barrage steamroll over Randy Orton , the food flew in a fierce post - match brawl between The Viper and The Mexican Aristocrat . The Miz opened the self - professed “ most must - see WWE talk show in history ” by mentioning a few of the events that are currently taking WWE by storm : the “ AJ scandal , ” Brad Maddox going “ rogue ” and costing Ryback his WWE Title Hell in a Cell Match against CM Punk and — much to his apparent amusement — Sheamus losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Big Show at the same pay - per - view . The Celtic Warrior , Miz ’ s guest — who made no excuses for Sunday ’ s loss to Big Show before hitting White Noise on the giant on Raw — admitted to the instigating Awesome One that he was somewhat humbled by the defeat . But before he could comment on his renewed intensity for their upcoming Survivor Series World Title rematch , Miz interrupted , igniting a war of words over whether Sheamus could beat Big Show and whether Miz could beat Intercontinental Champion , Kofi Kingston . Five days after he & Rey Mysterio overcame The Prime Time Players at Hell in a Cell , Sin Cara locked horns with Darren Young in an explosive one - on - one contest . In the height of the action , despite the high - octane offense of the gravity - defying Superstar , “ Mr . No Days Off ” ultimately triumphed , planting his opponent with the gutbuster . Although the bell rang , the action was far from over , as Rey Mysterio and Titus O ’ Neil were about to step to the plate . Moments after Darren Yong defeated Sin Cara in singes competition , Titus O ’ Neil picked up the microphone and challenged Rey Mysterio to an impromptu match — in an attempt to sweep both the luchadores in the same night . The Ultimate Underdog evaded his adversary ’ s aggressive attack , however , quickly rolling him up for the three - count to put the outspoken Superstar ’ s aspirations to rest . As the smoke cleared , Mysterio & Sin Cara celebrated by mocking their foes , doing the millions of dollars dance on the ramp . As more than one competitor attempted to fill the void of the absent Assistant to the SmackDown GM — Divas Champion Eve — Booker T ordered David Otunga to face a gigantic returning WWE Superstar , The Great Khali . Following the announcement on WWE Main Event that referee Brad Maddox would be suspended indefinitely and that he would appear before the WWE Board of Directors on Thursday , the SmackDown announce team informed the WWE Universe that Maddox had been granted time to explain his side of the story , this Monday on Raw . Prior to the start of Randy Orton ’ s match with Wade Barrett , Alberto Del Rio — who appeared ready to join the SmackDown announce team for the pending showdown — suddenly attacked The Viper with the help of Ricardo Rodriguez , leaving his adversary on the ringside floor . Despite this assault , the match between Orton and Barrett would carry on as scheduled , igniting a brutal firestorm of a contest . But just as The Viper looked to have gained a decisive advantage over his opponent , Del Rio and Rodriguez reemerged , bringing yet another distraction to the table . As Orton proceeded to headbutt The Mexican Aristocrat ’ s personal ring announcer off the apron — Barrett seized the opportunity , rolling up WWE ’ s Apex Predator up for the three - count . But while Del Rio was bragging in the back on his persistent belief that he was WWE ’ s “ new Apex Predator , ” Orton caught up with him , igniting a fierce backstage brawl that stretched all the way to catering — as the two fierce Superstars destroyed everything in sight . In the midst of the chaos , collateral damage inevitably took shape , as Rodriguez found himself covered with food and Matt Striker got “ just desserts . ” As a result on the out - of - control confrontation between The Viper and The Mexican Aristocrat , it was later announced that Randy Orton will take on Alberto Del Rio in a Falls Count Anywhere Match , this Tuesday on SuperSmackDown LIVE on Syfy from Birmingham , England . Much to David Otunga ’ s discontent , SmackDown General Manager Booker T ordered the coffee - drinking Superstar to face the returning Great Khali one - on - one . And while the Harvard - educated grappler would ultimately fall to the giant ’ s Punjabi Chop , it was Natalya who seemed to be taken off her feet . After the match , the impressed third - generation Diva approached Khali for a hands - on conversation . In a fast - paced matchup between two of WWE ’ s most high - octane Superstars , the explosive R - Truth triumphed over Justin Gabriel , hurling his South African opponent ’ s head into the canvas for the pinfall . Meanwhile , United States Champion Antonio Cesaro had some strong words on Tout for Truth , following their altercation on Raw earlier this week .
