Reports indicate that the following was taped on Tuesday night for this Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown set to air this Friday Nov. 29 as the WWE focuses on the fallout from the Survivor Series and the buildup to the TLC pay-per-view in December.
In the main event of the evening, Goldust, Cody Rhodes, The Usos, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk defeated The Shield and The Wyatt Family in a 12-man tag team match after Mysterio hit Erick Rowan with the 619 and Punk finished him off with the GTS. The match started off as a tag match between Goldust and Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Rhodes and Goldust picked up a disqualification victory after Dean Ambrose interfered. CM Punk made the save with a steel chair and Vickie Guerrero announced a six-man tag match pitting Punk and the Rhodes brothers vs. The Shield.
During the six-man match, the lights went out and The Wyatt Family came out, but the Usos and Mysterio then entered the ring to make things even, leading to Guerrero making a 12-man tag match which the face team won. The show ended with the babyface team standing tall.
Bray Wyatt cut a promo earlier in the night saying that the kidnapped Daniel Bryan is safe with him and that Bryan entered a man but will leave a monster. In an interview with Renee Young, Punk said he hadn't heard from Bryan after the Wyatts kidnapped him and he wasn't sure why The Shield attacked him but speculated that The Authority put them up to it.
WWE Champion Randy Orton opened the show with an interview and he spoke about beating The Big Show at the Survivor Series and spoke about the TLC match with John Cena and then walked out in the middle of the interview.
In other action, Antonio Cesaro defeated Titus O'Neil by DQ after Darren Young interfered. Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter were also at ringside for the match. The WWE had an eating contest during the show to celebrate Thanksgiving, and O'Neil won it which led to him throwing up in JBL's hat and putting it on Michael Cole's head then getting sick on Zeb.
Elsewhere on the program, Mark Henry defeated Curtis Axel with Big E Langston and Ryback at ringside, Los Matadors and El Torito defeated 3MB as the Plymouth Rockers in a six-man tag match and Tensai and Brodus Clay defeated R-Truth and Xavier Woods after Clay splashed Woods. Clay had pushed Woods backstage and told him to respect him prior to the match.
This edition of SmackDown furthered the storyline between Punk and the babyfaces against The Wyatts and The Shield while Bryan was still absent, and furthered the upcoming match between Orton and Cena at TLC.
