Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 15, 2013

Big Show starts things off tonight in Little Rock, Arkansas! He enters the ring, and is annoyed people find last week's bus incident funny. He goes on to say that Alberto Del Rio hasn't pinned him and never will, especially not at Elimination Chamber. Chris Jericho shows up, and Big Show is amazed Jericho is here. After plugging Robot Combat League (February 26th on SyFy!), Jericho says he's glad to be here tonight, and reminds show that if they both win their respective matches Sunday, they'll have to fight each other at WrestleMania. Big Show says if it happens, he'll retire Jericho. Booker T shows up, says that we don't know if it'll happen, and makes Show vs. Jericho the main event tonight.

Matt Striker interviews Randy Orton about fighting Mark Henry tonight...but Mark Henry's appearance alone stops the interview!

Mark Henry beats Randy Orton by disqualification after Orton hits Mark Henry with a chair. Orton goes for the coup-de-grace, but Mark Henry deflects the chair away and hits the World's Strongest Slam on Orton.

Mark Henry tells Matt Striker that the Hall of Pain is open for business. The armed forces had better be there, because he's an unstoppable force.

Tamina Snuka beats Layla. Kaitlyn is seen watching from backstage during the match.

The Rock enters the ring. He says running off with the WWE title doesn't make CM Punk a champion. Also, it's just a trade - the title in exchange for an ass-whipping. He promises he'll retain the title at Elimination Chamber, then Punk and Paul Heyman show up on the TitanTron live via satellite. Punk says "The People's Era" will come to an end, especially if he lets The Rock beat himself so the title changes hands back to him with the disqualification stipulation. The Rock calls CM Punk a spoiled little boy, and tells him he'll go on to WrestleMania.

Brodus Clay and Tensai beat Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal of 3MB. The Shield show up after the match and take out Tensai and Brodus, with the latter getting a triple powerbomb. Dean Ambrose tells John Cena, Sheamus and Ryback that they will learn actions have consequences...and that they will believe in The Shield.

The Miz beats Cody Rhodes with the Figure Four Leg Lock.

Jack Swagger beats Zack Ryder with the Patriot Act. Zeb Coulter talks about how America is broken and makes fun of Zack Ryder.

Matt Striker interviews Alberto Del Rio. He may not have pinned Big Show, but he'll still win on Sunday.

Big Show beats Chris Jericho. Alberto Del Rio stares Show down from the entrance ramp.
