WWE SmackDown Results (5/3/13) Detroit, Michigan

We get a re-cap of the main event from Monday night.

Friday Night Smackdown this week comes to us from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan and we kick things off with Ryback coming out to the ring.

He chose to put himself in the match and at further risk and he was the one who lost the match. Afterwards, he was hobbling around like a weak, pathetic , little animal. And in the law of the jungle, the bigger, stronger and faster always eat the weak.

 Backstage: Renee Paquette is with Zeb Colter and Colter says the media likes to distort facts and alter things to fit their own agenda. The real story Monday night which was an act of personal bravery on his part. He then tells the truth of what really happened and says he was sick with a 102 degree temperature. He was sweating, he had vertigo, he had everything wrong with him. But he still went to work because that’s what real americans do and it wasn’t lost on people on twitter and some of the comments were that his performance Monday night was one of the single most inspiring moments people have ever seen and some even called him a role model but what hurt the most was that his victory was awarded to an illegal immigrant who snuck across the border and who has no place in his country. Colter then says Rodriguez is guilty of theft. He then says he could go to the police but he’s not going to do that. He’s going to do it himself. He’s going to go out there and rectify it himself and his victory won’t be tainted because unlike illegal immigrants he plays fair.
