Layin' da SmackDown! - SmackDown recap for October 4, 2013

Big Show shows up. He knows he's done some bad things to good people, all because he has no money and he can't get much of a second job. It doesn't help that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are hanging his iron-clad contract over his head. He just wants some understanding from the WWE Universe as he is ashamed of what he's done. He plans to destroy The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) tonight as he is now a "borderline lunatic giant." Triple H shows up, and says he's ashamed of Show for questioning his authority. He pulls out an envelope which contains Big Show's mortgage. Triple H has bought the mortgage out from the bank, saying that instead of owing the bank, Show owes him. He then threatens to take his home if Show doesn't keep his emotions in check, and changes his match tonight so that Randy Orton fights alongside The Shield, making it four-on-one. As for Big Show's threats to knock Triple H out, "they're cool," according to the latter.

Rob Van Dam beats Fandango by disqualification when Summer Rae knocks RVD off the turnbuckle. Fandango attacks RVD afterward, but RVD soon makes a hardcore comeback!

Ryback beats R-Truth...then Curtis Axel attacks Truth after the match!

Renee Young interviews Alberto Del Rio, who plans to send Rob Van Dam packing this Sunday. A backstage worker gives the torn-up trash can from RVD's attack on Fandango earlier in the night to Del Rio as a gift from RVD. Del Rio is furious and walks away from the interview.

Damien Sandow joins on commentary for the next match.

Alberto Del Rio beats Dolph Ziggler in a heated match with the Cross Arm Breaker.

Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) beat 3MB (Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal)...and when 3MB attack them, they end up getting embarrassed by both the matadors and their bull, El Torito!

Renee Young interviews Paul Heyman, Curtis Axel and Ryback. Heyman believes that both of his clients will achieve supreme victory at Battleground.

Brie Bella beats Aksana, then AJ Lee appears with Tamina Snuka to mock Brie, saying that she'll lay Brie out like Randy Orton laid out Daniel Bryan at the end of Raw this Monday.

Kofi Kingston gets a win out of nowhere against Big E Langston. As Kofi leaves, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Luke Haper) surrounds him. Bray Wyatt challenges Kofi Kingston to a match at Battleground.

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Ambrose, Roman Reigns) and Randy Orton vs. Big Show ends in disaster. The Shield and Orton decimate Show. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) go after The Shield as Daniel Bryan goes after Orton, who is trying to injure Show. Daniel Bryan gives Orton a good beating, and even though Ambrose attacks D-Bry, D-Bry fires back and blows Ambrose away before going back onto Orton. Orton retreats.
