WWE Smackdown
Dec. 27, 2013

-Former champion John Cena kicks off the last Smackdown of the year, and asks Randy Orton for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. The Shield come out and attack him, but Mark Henry makes the save. Shield are still too much for them, so Intercontinental Champion Big E. Langston evens the odds. Kane comes out and books a series of matches for tonight's co-main event.

(1) The Wyatt Family def. The Usos in a fairly quick match. Bray Wyatt hits Sister Abigail on one of the Usos after the match.

-Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler get into a bit of a backstage spat, so it looks like they'll be facing off.

(2) Antonio Cesaro def. Cody Rhodes. Looks like the Real Americans might be next in line for a tag title shot.

(3) The Prime Time Players def. Curtis Axel & Ryback

(4) Randy Orton def. Dolph Ziggler in a non-title match that was said to be pretty great. In other news, it looks like Dolph Ziggler has a bit of pink highlights in his hair now. Orton wins with the RKO.

-After the match, Dolph Ziggler took another RKO in the middle of the ring, and then Orton tossed him hard to the outside.

(5) Daniel Bryan def. Damien Sandow with a running knee. The Wyatt Family came out and Bray cut another pretty standard promo about Bryan.

(6) Intercontinental Champion Big E. Langston def. United States Champion Dean Ambrose in a non-title match. Langston won clean with the Big Ending.

(7) Roman Reigns def. Mark Henry with a massive spear.

(8) John Cena def. Seth Rollins with the Attitude Adjustment in the Smackdown main event.

-This show supposedly has a lot of really great wrestling matches. Most of them will likely be cut by commercials, as Smackdown's two-hour format doesn't generally allow for 8 matches.

Dark Match

John Cena def. Randy Orton via disqualification, with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line.

-At multiple points during the show, both John Cena and Randy Orton made reference to Hulk Hogan. Cena mentioned him in his opening promo at the start of Smackdown, and Orton did one of Hogan's signature taunts during the dark match.
