Report by: Mike Tedesco of Wrestleview.com

“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

We’re brought right into the arena, and the WWE COO Triple H is announced to the crowd. Triple H comes out to a mixed reception as Michael Cole and John “Bradshaw” Layfield welcome us to the show. They give him a standing ovation. Triple H gets in the ring, and he welcomes the crowd to Smackdown.

Triple H says he’s heard all the rumors and backstage buzz. There are a lot of disturbing things being said about the last month. A lot of ugly words like “favoritism” and “abuse of power.” It’s ridiculous. A lot of times, WWE superstars are unable to accept their inadequacies. They want to blame management for their failures. He and his wife are ok with that burden. It’s the burden they accept as the authority of the company. They can’t make everyone happy, so they do what’s best for business. Even when they do what is best for business, like on Monday night, they still receive criticism from the WWE Universe and superstars. For example, they gave them an 11-on-3 handicap elimination match with 11 of your favorite WWE superstars against The Shield. He supposes that is bad on their part. A replay is then shown of Daniel Bryan defeating Seth Rollins to win that match.

Triple H says any angst in the locker room should have been settled there, but it wasn’t good enough. It wasn’t done to quell an uprising; it was done because it is what is best for business.

The Miz’ music interrupts him, and he makes his way out to the stage to a great reception. Miz slowly walks to the ring, and he asks if Triple H really feels like he’s been fair and impartial. Triple H ponders the hypocrisy of The Miz after all the opportunities he’s had. Miz is a classic example of what he was talking about. Miz is a guy that was given an opportunity, then fails and blames somebody else. Triple H gave him the opportunity he asked for. He was put into the ring with the face of the WWE. That’s the opportunity of a lifetime. Miz was in the ring with Randy Orton, and he choked. Triple H then has them replay the footage of Orton putting Miz’ head in a chair and dropping a knee on it.

Triple H says that must be hard to swallow, especially failing in front of his parents. Triple H doesn’t see how Miz’ failure should be put on him. Then on this past Monday, Miz wasn’t ready to compete. It’s his responsibility to protect superstars from themselves sometimes. The Miz probably would have gotten into the ring with Randy Orton, and god knows what would have happened. Miz couldn’t compete, so he gave him another opportunity to speak his peace. He even gave him the most controversial guest they have: the Big Show. The Miz squandered that opportunity as well. They then show a replay of Big Show knocking him out on RAW.

Miz asks if that was really an opportunity. All that happened was a set-up. Triple H played “good cop” only to have his wife, the “bad cop,” hijack his interview and have Big Show knock him out. Triple H says Stephanie was absolutely justified in doing what she did. Miz was supposed to speak his mind, but instead he insulted her by calling her a “castrating witch.” Miz says he should have changed the “w” to a “b.”

Triple H says that’s The Miz running his mouth without the ability to back it up. Triple H says tempers ran hot. Everybody was upset. After the humiliating beating that he took at the hands of Randy Orton in front of his parents, he can understand how Miz would be upset. Maybe he said some things he shouldn’t have said, and maybe Stephanie did some things she shouldn’t have done. Stephanie regrets what she did.

Triple H will give him another opportunity tonight. It’s time to talk about tonight. He wasn’t healthy on Monday, but it’s a whole week later. He’s going to give him an opportunity that he couldn’t on Monday. Tonight, he’s getting Randy Orton. He’ll give him his opportunity for revenge, if he wants it. Miz says he wants it. Triple H wonders if he should have his parents picked up on his jet since Cleveland isn’t that far away. In the meantime, Triple H tells him to get changed. Tonight, his opportunity is knocking. It’s Randy Orton one-on-one with The Miz. Triple H says, “Go get ’em, tiger!” Triple H then leaves the ring.

Dean Ambrose will defend his WWE United States Championship against Dolph Ziggler later tonight. Alberto Del Rio is seen walking backstage. He’ll be in action, next.

Vickie Guerrero is watching what just happened with WWE COO Triple H. Vickie says things are really heating up between these two guys. She thinks they should make the WWE Battleground match a little more interesting. Triple H says they should make it a hardcore match, right out of the ECW handbook. They’ll call it a “Battleground Hardcore Rules Match.” Vickie says that is what’s best for business.

Paul Heyman is talking with Curtis Axel backstage. He hugs Axel before walking off.

-Commercial Break-

Paul Heyman makes his way to the stage to some boos from the crowd. Heyman says nothing before pointing to the titantron. Footage is shown from Night of Champions when Heyman defeated CM Punk with the help of Ryback. Heyman smiles at the crowd before saying he has to be candid with them. They are really disappointing him right now. They react to that footage with shock, horror, and dismay, but are they surprised that he defeated CM Punk? He doesn’t want to give away his trade secrets, but he’ll give them one for free. Every single time their bloodlust for his hide drives CM Punk to come up against him, he is going to fail and lose. No? Have they every considered in this one particular circumstance in this given situation in this unique moment in time that they could possibly be wrong? Are they really that myopic? Take Monday night on RAW for example. CM Punk in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois stands in the ring saying he knows this is a trap. It was a trap. When his scooter “failed,” the crowd motivated Punk to pounce on him. A replay is shown of Curtis Axel and Ryback attacking CM Punk on RAW. Ryback then press slammed him through a table off a platform.

Heyman says he doesn’t want to stand out here and take all the credit for that plan. Heyman wants to publically thank our Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel, for helping him put the plan together. He wants to thank that big, bad, beautiful man, his hero Ryback, for his help. Most of all, he wants to thank the fans for their help in implementing it. It was their worship of CM Punk that will drive him to come up against him. Punk is signed for a match against Ryback at WWE Battleground. Do they really think Punk stands a chance against Ryback? The crowd responds positively. Heyman says it will be history repeating itself. They will have themselves to blame. At WWE Battleground, Punk will be flat on his back looking up at the winner: Ryback and Paul Heyman, the Best in the World.

The Miz will take on Randy Orton in tonight’s main event.

Santino crotches him on the top rope, and he takes the Cobra out. Jinder Mahal gets on the apron, and he starts playing a wood flute with some snake charmer music. The Cobra starts pulling Santino over to him until Khali gets on the apron and plays his own flute and music. Pretty soon there is dueling snake charmer music happening. Drew McIntyre tries to distract Khali, but Khali chops him down. Mahal plays the music still, and the Cobra nearly attacks Santino. Hornswoggle pulls him off the apron and breaks the flute in two. Slater connects with a roundhouse kick. Khali gets back on the apron, and he plays some music which reawakens the Cobra. The Cobra pulls Santino up, and it strikes Slater for the win.

Winner by Pinfall: Santino Marella

Then Dusty Rhodes was out the week after, and Big Show was ordered to knock him out. This past Monday on RAW, Cody Rhodes and Goldust came through the crowd to attack The Shield. Triple H told Michael Cole in an exclusive interview for WWE.com that he was extremely angry with that. He then invites Dusty, Dustin, and Cody to come to RAW for an open forum.
