Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 27, 2013

The show starts with Triple H entering the ring. He considers the comments of his "abuse of power" and favoritism" to be hogwash and nothing more than people blaming someone else like management for their shortcomings. After mentioning that this Monday's elimination handicap match wasn't enough to quell dissent, The Miz shows up. Triple H lumps him with the rest of the Superstars and even justifies Stephanie McMahon's actions on Monday's Miz TV. Triple H then gives Miz his match against Randy Orton for tonight.

Alberto Del Rio beats R-Truth...then puts the Cross Arm Breaker on him until Rob Van Dam goes after Del Rio.

Triple H makes the match for the World Heavyweight title between Rob Van Dam and Alberto Del Rio a Battleground Hardcore match.
