Friday Night SmackDown Results 4/12: John Cena kicked off the action celebrating the extraordinary moments of both Sunday's epic WrestleMania 30 pay-per-view and the following night's Raw. However, from out of nowhere, he was interrupted by The Wyatt Family, shrouded on darkness on the TitianTron.

While conceding that he lost on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Bray Wyatt revealed that the experience allowed him to understand that he has to go to the extreme to bring out the "monster" in the Cenation leader.

Cesaro def. Big Show by Disqualification

Cesaro has everything going his way for the past few weeks, and his biggest achievement is winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on Wrestlemania. Also, he is now being represented by Paul Heyman, the same guy who represents the man who ended The Deadman's streak, Brock Lesnar.

Tonight, it was Jack Swagger who cut his momentum short after interfering in his match with the World's Largest Athlete.

Angry over the disruption, Big Show hurled the disruptive Real American out of the ring. Cesaro used this to regain a post-match advantage, hitting the Neutralizer on the giant in the center of the ring!

Ryback & Curtis Axel def. Los Matadores

When Ryback tried to hurl El Torito into the ringpost in the midst of tag team turmoil, Los Matadores stopped The Human Wrecking Ball in his tracks. Still, as Fernando got back in the ring, Curtis Axel made him pay for it - hitting an authoritative neckbreaker for the three-count.

RVD def. Damien Sandow

Returning to SmackDown, the explosive RVD defeated an aggressive Damien Sandow - courtesy of the Five-Star Flog Splash.

Bad News Barrett def. Kofi Kingston

After a strong showing and performing some spectacular moves in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Kofi Kingston looked to pick up a huge SmackDown victory. But we're afraid we've got some bad news! Bad News Barrett took down The Wildcat with the Bad News Bull Hammer.

Fandango def. Santino Marella

On Tuesday, Fandango Tweeted that he and Summer Rae were finished. But the show must go on. As a result, the dancing Superstar danced onto SmackDown with his new partner, Layla. In the height of the match that followed, the former Miami Heat dancer stole Santino's Cobra, paving the way for Fandango to roll up the distracted Milan Miracle for the win.

Daniel Bryan & The Usos def. Randy Orton, Batista & Kane

After the colossal Six-Man Tag Team main event ended in a double count-out and Randy Orton and Batista took down The Usos outside the ring, Kane began to rip apart the SmackDown announce table in order to punish Daniel Bryan. However, before he could, The Shield emerged and helped Bryan again to unleash a major counter-assault.

Then, after The Viper & The Animal elected to back away from a confrontation with The Shield, Bryan used a running knee to thwart Kane's attempted chair attack on The Hounds. The black-clad trio then finished off the Director of Operations with a Triple Powerbomb heard round the world.
