Sheamus def. Damien Sandow in a Dublin Street Fight

COLUMBIA, S.C. – SmackDown bore witness to the absolute bedlam of a Dublin Street Fight, an epic clash between Money in the Bank All-Stars, the monumental announcement of who would battle in the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money in the Bank Ladder Match and a fiesta gone, well, Zig Zag.

Sheamus and Damien Sandow compete in the very first Dublin Street Fight in SmackDown history.

A Dublin Street Fight served as the latest battlefield in the ongoing rivalry between Sheamus and Damien Sandow – an unrelenting Irish-themed contest where absolutely anything would go.

The brutal carnage that followed utilized weapons of every kind, including green-colored Kendo sticks, bar taps, flying beer kegs, steel ring steps and chairs, a green bar stool and even a sack of potatoes. In the height of the action, after hitting Sandow so hard with a Kendo stick that The Intellectual Savior of the Masses was forced to play sitting duck in the center of the ring, Sheamus “brained” his “enlightened” foe with the Brogue Kick for the victory.

“Miz TV” with special guests Paul Heyman & Curtis Axel

Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel gets the upper hand on The Miz during "Miz TV."

Instead of offering further comment on the “personal” situation between himself and CM Punk, the crafty Paul Heyman attempted to change the direction of “Miz TV” by introducing Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel into the fray – three days before his client will team with The Straight Edge Superstar against The Prime Time Players on Raw.

However, when The Miz tried to drive a wedge between the reigning titleholder and his “advocate” by suggesting that Axel might not be so important to Heyman after he loses the Intercontinental Title to him, things quickly turned heated. Moments later, Axel sent The Awesome One to the canvas with a fierce cheap shot and a devastating neck breaker.

Kaitlyn imitated AJ Lee; Natalya def. AJ in a Non-title Match

Kaitlyn does her best impression of AJ Lee while the Divas Champion goes one-on-one with Natalya.

Firing back at AJ Lee’s mockery of her on Raw, Kaitlyn came to SmackDown dressed up like the Divas Champion. Interrupting AJ's scheduled match against Natalya, she ridiculed her one-time friend by suggesting that, in addition to the vast number of Superstars that the unhinged titleholder had dated, she also had been with several of the WWE personnel seated at ringside.

The former champion then skipped around the ring, distracting her adversary long enough for Natalya to roll up AJ for the three-count. Then, after the bell, Kaitlyn put the cherry on top by jumping into the ring and spearing her former bestie to the canvas.

Randy Orton def. Kane

Randy Orton and Kane square off while Daniel Bryan tries to help his partner.

After making Randy Orton tap out in a furious Street Fight on Raw, Daniel Bryan  offered Kane his help – whether he wanted it or not – in The Big Red Monster’s SmackDown contest against The Viper.

Later, Bryan joined the SmackDown announce team, as two of his fellow  Money in the Bank All-Star combatants battled it out. In the final moments, after the action spilled outside the ring and Orton managed to make his way back through the ropes, Bryan chose to make good on his earlier offer.

As Kane was still recollecting himself, the submission specialist “helped” the still-reeling Devil’s Favorite Demon into the ring and the waiting RKO from WWE’s Apex Predator. After Orton got the three-count, Bryan headed up the ramp with the hint of a smile on his face.

In the height of the fast-paced Six-Man Tag Team Match, order inevitably broke down – a melee ensued that left both The Usos and the WWE Tag Team Champions lying outside the ring. In the midst of the disorder, Christian blasted United States Champion Dean Ambrose with a thunderous spear and handed The Shield only their second clean loss as a six-man tag team!

After addressing the WWE Universe in Spanish, Del Rio broke open a piñata with Ziggler's face on it, comparing it to the way he had attacked The Showoff before promising to repeat the onslaught at their impending Money in the Bank rematch.

However, the tide turned when a steady Ziggler crashed the party, putting Ricardo Rodriguez through a table before blasting Del Rio with the Zig Zag. While the Mexican Superstar managed to escape, Ziggler followed up by rocking  his personal ring announcer with a guitar.

Feeling a celebration of his own was in order, the No. 1 contender joined the mariachi band with the broken instrument of destruction in hand – a true Fiesta del Ziggler!
