Reports indicate that the following was taped Tuesday night for the episode of WWE SmackDown that's set to air this Friday, Feb. 28 from Milwaukee, Wis. as the WWE continues to build on the fallout of Elimination Chamber and towards the huge WrestleMania XXX event on April 6.
In the main event of the evening, Daniel Bryan and The Usos defeated Kane and The New Age Outlaws in a six-man tag team match after Bryan hit Kane with the running knee and earned the pinfall victory.
Batista opened up the show by coming out and playing the heel role. Batista said he would beat everyone and then was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler who challenged him to a match. Batista laughed at him and then accepted before Ziggler nailed him with a dropkick. Later on in the night, Batista defeated Ziggler.
