SmackDown Results: Cena def. Harper, Kane orchestrated a massive ambush on The Shield

Kane addressed the Raw slaughter of Daniel Bryan

HOUSTON – The latest stop on The Road to WrestleMania saw John Cena’s continued struggle against the intimidation of The Wyatt Family, a pre-Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal free-for-all and a WWE Tag Team Title No. 1 Contender’s Match that transformed into an all-out assault on The Hounds of Justice.

SmackDown: March 21, 2014

In SmackDown’s opening segment, rather than responding to The Shield attacking him – both  one week ago and on  Monday’s Raw – Director of Operations Kane focused on WWE COO Triple H’s brutal Raw assault of Daniel Bryan. Referring to the onslaught as the end of the “Yes!” Movement, the WWE executive said The Beard deserved what he got. Then Kane put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the WWE Universe for feeding Bryan’s ego and reaffirmed that no one is bigger than The Authority.

Kane then read a written statement from The Game, who expressed regret about being forced to take matters into his own hands in response to Bryan’s lack of respect and discipline. The message also shared his hope that the WWE Universe would understand that there must be respect for Authority.

However, before a winner could be determined, Director of Operations Kane, and then The New Age Outlaws, shocked the WWE Universe by suddenly attacking The Shield. The other participating teams quickly joined the onslaught on The Hounds of Justice, who ended up getting systematically taken apart by the overwhelming numbers.

Later, it become clear that Kane had in fact planned the entire thing, as he awarded tag team title matches to both RybAxel and The Real Americans as a reward for their involvement, while putting 3MB into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. As for the New Age Outlaws, as they joined Kane in celebration in his office, one couldn’t help but remember that both the Director of Operations and Road Dogg & Billy Gunn share a common association with The Authority.

"Miz TV" with special guest Big Show: SmackDown, March 21, 2014

Chaos erupts inside the ring on "Miz TV" between competitors of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

After throwing his own hat in the ring for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, The Miz welcomed special guest Big Show, the “odds-on favorite” to win that Show of Shows contest. He also invited surprise guests Titus O’Neil, Kofi Kingston, Alberto Del Rio, Big E, Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry, Goldust and Sheamus.

With every Superstar in the ring amped up to compete in the historical Battle Royal in honor of The Eighth Wonder of the World on The Grandest Stage of Them All, The Awesome One proposed that they prove their worth by taking out the giant standing right in front of them.

This lit the fuse on an unofficial, impromptu SmackDown Battle Royal between the present combatants, with Miz watching outside the ring. When it came down to Big Show and Sheamus, however, Miz tried to throw them both out. The World’s Largest Athlete overcame his trickery, dispatching on both The Celtic Warrior and The Awesome One to be the last man standing.
