The Shield launched a vicious attack on Sheamus & Randy Orton
Backstage, Sheamus & Randy Orton talked to Matt Striker about Ryback joining them at WrestleMania against The Shield, but Roman Reigns appeared out of nowhere, hitting a devastating spear on The Celtic Warrior. The Shield proceeded to lay waste to Orton before hurling Sheamus through a table.
SmackDown General Manager Booker T was called in to pick up the pieces of the wreckage, and Ryback emerged demanding to know what happened. The former World Champion assured Ryback he’s got the situation under control, and that the Superstar should focus on his match against Mark Henry.
Kaitlyn & Layla def. Tamina & Aksana
It’s been a tumultuous week in the Divas division, as The Bella Twins made their shocking return to WWE on Raw. The action continued Friday night, as Divas tag team action lit up SmackDown.
With The Funkadactyls looking on backstage, Tamina & Aksana isolated Layla early on, but a tag of Kaitlyn turned the tide of the match as the Divas Champion promptly took control. With her victory clearly in sight, however, Layla tagged herself back in — to the surprise of Kaitlyn — and hit a splash off the top rope to pin Aksana for the win.
In the back, The Bellas “introduced” themselves to The Funkadactyls. When Cameron & Naomi tried to express how much of an influence The Bellas have had on them, though, the twins responded by calling the dancing pair “hoochie mommas” before instigating a nasty backstage brawl.
After their victory over Team Rhodes Scholars and the challenge thrown down by The Shield earlier in the evening, Randy Orton & Sheamus were approached backstage by Big Show. “You need a tag team partner that’s larger than life,” Big Show emphasized, effectively offering to join them against Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. The Celtic Warrior & The Viper agreed, but not in the way The World’s Largest Athlete would have liked.
Instead, they chose Ryback to join them at The Showcase of The Immortals!
The Shield issued a WrestleMania challenge to Sheamus and Randy Orton
Moments after Sheamus & Randy Orton’s tag team triumph, The Shield’s music emanated from the speakers, but the rogue trio didn’t descend through the WWE Universe as they are wont to do. Instead, The Shield appeared on the TitanTron, broadcasting from an undisclosed location and looking to sour the victory celebration.
Claiming that it’s the “greatest injustice” that they’re not scheduled to compete at WrestleMania, The Shield laid down the gauntlet to Sheamus & Orton. “Find a partner,” Dean Ambrose told The Viper & The Celtic Warrior. “At WrestleMania, you face The Shield.”
Both Orton & Sheamus accepted the challenge without hesitation. The question then became, who will they choose as their partner to even the odds on The Grandest Stage of Them All?

Randy Orton & Sheamus def. Team Rhodes Scholars
Jack Swagger, went head-to-head with Y2J in an instant-classic main event. Plus, with their sights set on The Grandest Stage of Them All, the calculating Shield unleashed a massive assault on Randy Orton and Sheamus and stormed into the middle of a Ryback vs. Mark Henry showdown.
Looking to avenge a bad night this past Monday on Raw in which their alleged dates with the returning Bella Twins was ruined, Team Rhodes Scholars entered the SmackDown arena with high hopes of delivering a little payback to the team of Randy Orton & Sheamus. For their part, though, The Viper & The Celtic Warrior — a team the WWE Universe has taken to calling #CelticVipers on Twitter — were still seething from The Shield’s assault on Raw that was caught on WWE Active.
With Brad Maddox once again joining Michael Cole and Josh Mathews at the SmackDown announce table, Sandow & Rhodes did a good job overcoming an early Sheamus offensive to isolate him from WWE Apex Predator. But The Celtic Warrior was able to muscle his way back into the bout, flooring the aggressive Sandow with a flying shoulder off the ropes to make the crucial tag.
Orton entered the fray on a mission and instantly began to dominate Rhodes, and when Sandow came in to interfere, he was met with a devastating Brogue Kick from the first-ever Irish-born World Champion. The Viper then struck with an RKO on Rhodes, leading to the pinfall.
