Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 12, 2013

Big E Langston introduces Dolph Ziggler (who comes out with AJ Lee) to start the show as a mimicry of Ricardo Rodriguez. Dolph Ziggler recaps us on all he's been through this week...then goes on to say he won the World Heavyweight title in spite of the WWE Universe. Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter show. Colter congratulates Ziggler, then reminds him - and us - that Swagger is the one to thank for all of this. Ziggler tells Swagger he had his chance at WrestleMania, and that he can go back to the back of the line. Swagger approaches the ring, then backs away. Colter tells Ziggler that Swagger won't wait for a shot at the World title for long. Ziggler talks again after Swagger and Colter leave, then Alberto Del Rio interrupts him. Del Rio congratulates him but tells him the belt is his when his ankle is healed. After Del Rio leaves, Ziggler is angry with all the interruptions and threatens to beat up the next person to interrupt him. That next person is Chris Jericho, who starts up an "AJ's crazy" chant that drives AJ nuts. He then tells Ziggler that as per Booker T, the main event is between him and Ziggler for the World Heavyweight title tonight!

After Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) beat The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil), The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) shows up on the TitanTron and marks Team Hell No as their next victims!

Wade Barrett beats Santino Marella.

Sheamus and Randy Orton confront Booker T over what happened last week. Booker T makes it right by putting both men in a handicap match against Big Show tonight.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) and Tamina Snuka beat The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi) and Kaitlyn.

Triple H enters the ring with a cast on one arm. He tells us "I told you the asskicker's back!" All of a sudden, 3MB (Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre) show up. Heath Slater tells Triple H to shut up before they attempt to gang up on him. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) show up and take out 3MB before setting their sights on Triple H. Thankfully, Kane and Daniel Bryan come to Triple H's aid, causing The Shield to retreat.

Big Show is angry with Booker T over the handicap match, and threatens to walk out. Booker T dares him, but also tells him his match is next. Big Show stays.

Big Show walks away after being knocked out of the ring. Sheamus and Randy Orton win by count-out.

Renee Young interviews Sheamus, but Mark Henry violently attacks Sheamus from behind!

Kofi Kingston beats Antonio Cesaro.

Big E Langston and Fandango both interfere, causing Dolph Ziggler to beat Chris Jericho. Jericho then cleans house only to eat a Zig Zag from Ziggler, followed by a Big Ending from Langston. After Ziggler and company leave, Fandango climbs into the ring and attacks Jericho further to close out the show.
