WWE taped this week's Smackdown on Tuesday night from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The show will air on Friday night and was notable for featuring John Cena and Dean Ambrose in tag team action. It was Cena who opened the show, cutting an in-ring promo about his anger with Seth Rollins. Dean Ambrose interrupted the promo and shared the angry sentiments. Cena then called for a truce with Ambrose, before the moment was ruined by Kane, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins appearing on the big screen. Kane announced that Cena and Ambrose would be in action later tonight. Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus defeated the team of The Miz and Damien Sandow. The finish came with Ziggler pinning Mizdow. Sheamus then laid the unlucky jobber out post-match. It really isn't much fun being Damien Sandow right now. The first vignette for Luke Harper's new character aired. Paige defeated Naomi. Once the match had ended, Alicia Fox helped Paige attack the former funkadactyl, leading to AJ Lee running down the ramp for the save. Paige ran off and hid behind JBL's announcing seat. Big Show came out next, wearing a suit and expressing regret at disrespecting the Russian flag on Raw. This is reportedly a genuine regret on WWE's part, as they don't want to alienate Russian viewers. He said that he liked most Russians and understood why what he did was wrong. Rusev then came out and battered the giant with the flagpole. The Usos beat Heath Slater and Titus O'neil. The Bunny made an appearance in the match, attacking Hornswoggle who was dressed as gator at ringside. The Usos and The Bunny then celebrated after the match had ended. Cesaro beat R Truth with the neutraliser. The main event was John Cena teaming with Dean Ambrose to battle the team of Kane and Randy Orton. In what feels like deja-vu, it ended in disqualification after Seth Rollins got involved. Cena chased off the invading heel, leaving Dean Ambrose to fight Orton and Kane as the show concluded.
