Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for March 8, 2013

The Albany, New York show begins with Ricardo Rodriguez and Alberto Del Rio imitating Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger on the TitanTron after the latter two men enter the ring to speak. Alberto Del Rio watches and looks at their reactions from the top of the entrance ramp.

Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) beat 3MB (Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre) after D-Bry slaps the No Lock onto Heath Slater.

Matt Striker interviews Dolph Ziggler. He's ready to steal the show against Alberto Del Rio. AJ Lee and Big E Langston agree.

Ryback and Mark Henry stare each other down again.

Brad Maddox joins on commentary before the next match.

Damien Sandow makes fun of Ryback before their next match as only he can. He gets interrupted by Ryback's entrance, though.

Ryback beats Damien Sandow.

Matt Striker interviews Big Show. He blames Randy Orton and Sheamus for The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) attacking him. He has an answer for them all: his fist.

Is Fandango being debuted tonight? We'll see...

As Alberto Del Rio takes on WWE Universe-picked Dolph Ziggler, Ricardo Rodriguez almost gets Big E Langston wet, but Big E dodges the water he tosses at him...and it hits AJ Lee instead! AJ chases after Ricardo, but Big E holds her back. Both Big E and AJ get thrown out.

Alberto Del Rio beats Dolph Ziggler with the Cross Arm Bar.

Daniel Bryan meets AJ again, and they insult each other repeatedly. D-Bry gets the last laugh.

"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry squashes Yoshi Tatsu.

Matt Striker interviews Sheamus, who thinks Big Show is full of crap. The only thing that won't be Show's fault is his loss to Sheamus tonight!

Tamina Snuka makes quick work of Kaitlyn.

Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes are in the back to prepare for their match against the New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) on Raw next week. Cody Rhodes is smitten with Kaitlyn, but Sandow can't see it.

Fandango is ticked Lillian Garcia "butchered" his name...so he delays his debut. Again. He also calls Lillian "Jillian." Jerk.

Booker T is ticked with Fandango, and asks Teddy Long to send a message to him: either compete or get fired.

As Sheamus and Big Show fight, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) show up. Randy Orton tries to even the odds, but The Shield beat them up until Big Show gets back into the ring and cleans house. The Shield is vanquished for now, but once again Show knocks out Sheamus only to eat an RKO from Orton.
