WWE Smackdown
Air Date: September 6, 2013
-The "entire roster" is out on the ramp for an address from Triple H, who is in the ring with Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox. He says that he didn't want to fire Cody Rhodes on Raw, and gave him every opportunity to fight for his job. Triple H claims he doesn't want anyone to fear for their job, which is why he wants anyone with something to say to speak their mind. Kofi Kingston was the first to step up, and said the whole roster is scared and living in fear, and that's not what is best for business. Heath Slater is next, and complains about Big Show not doing what's right. RVD tells Hunter that what he's doing "isn't cool, dude."
-Triple H makes fun of Slater, saying that he probably just emptied the whole content of his brain, and says he's been waiting since 2000 to be called "dude" by Rob Van Dam. He say Daniel Bryan isn't on stage because his ego is out of control, but says he can pick any member of The Shield to face tonight. He also gives Kofi a non-title match against Curtis Axel, books RVD against WWE Champion Randy Orton, and just for fun, gives Ryback another match against Dolph Ziggler.
