WWE Smackdown Results returned as Sheamus did another bait and switch and Butch was kind enough to ring the bell.
Drew took it to Ridge, but after Sheamus and Butch distracting him, Drew was shoved into the ring post by Ridge.
Ridge hit a powerslam for a pin attempt, and Ridge attempted to wear him down.

Drew hit a pair of clotheslines and a neckbreaker, but Butch distracted him to prevent a Claymore, so Drew hit a White Noise and then a Claymore for the win.
Theory vs. Madcap Moss
Before the match backstage, Paul Heyman tried to convince Moss to take out Theory but Moss turned him down.
After exchanging lockups, Moss took him down a couple of times with rear waist locks, but then ate a shoulder block off the ropes and posed over Moss.
Moss returned the favor, then caught Theory and hit a fall away slam.
Moss knocked Theory into three turnbuckles, then sent him to the floor with a clothesline, but Theory leap frogged over him and Moss hit the ring steps as we headed to commercial.

Theory remained in control as he hit a rolling dropkick for a pin attempt, then kept on Moss to wear him down.
Moss hit a shoulderblock off the ropes to buy some time, and followed it with a clothesline and a pair of shoulder in the corner.
Moss sent Theory to the floor with a pair of shoulderblocks, and when he went out after Theory, Theory grabbed the MOTB briefcase and hit Moss with it for the DQ loss. Then he beat Moss down with the briefcase.
While Theory bragged on the ramp, Sami Zayn came out with his left arm in a sling and lectured Theory that he’s disrespecting Roman Reigns and there are consequences.
Zayn recommended he apologize, and Theory asked if he’s the Bloodline suckup and asked what he’s going to do with one arm, and in answer the Usos came out and Theory retreated back to the ring where Moss grabbed him and speared him into the ringpost and sent him over the barricade.

With Sami Zayn joining the commentary team, we have a feeling he’s the special guest referee.
Dawkins backed Jimmy into a corner, then took him down for a quick pin attempt.
Jimmy fought free and hit a Samoan Drop, then sent Dawkins to the floor. Dawkins met his dive with a right, then hit a running shoulder block that sent Jimmy into the time keeper’s area as we headed to commercial.
Dawkins turned it around with a corkscrew elbow and a double underhook suplex for a pin attempt.
Jimmy accidentally took out the ref after he jumped over Dawkins, and Dawkins went for a roll up to no avail.
Jimmy hit a superkick for his own pin attempt, but the ref was still out.
Dawkins hit a Sky High powerbomb for the win, but Jimmy’s shoulder was up.
Double J’s the man
After some debate and the Usos pleading their case, Adam Pearce came out to settle things down and explained that’s why there will be a special referee and introduced Jeff Jarrett via a video package.
The Usos and Street Profits went after each other after the announcement and they continued to beat away on each other while the refs stood around pleading for them to stop.
This was a pretty cool ending and we’re looking forward to seeing Double J in action again even if he’s just a ref.
