WWE Smackdown Recap With Video: Cesaro Vs. Jack Swagger, Tamina Snuka Vs. Natalya, More

Smackdown opens with Vickie Guerrero in the ring to address the Shield. She announces that the Shield will face 11 other wrestlers later in the show. She says it's time for the great debate. Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter are on one side of her behind a podium, and Cesaro and Paul Heyman are on the other. She gives Colter 90 seconds to give his side of their recent problems. He said he was ambushed by Cesaro and Heyman and calls them fleas.

Cesaro and Heyman are then given 90 seconds. Heyman says that his client Brock Lesnar conquered Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania. Then, Guerrero gives Zeb 60 seconds for his rebuttal. Colter says he doesn't care about Lesnar, and accuses Cesaro of being a different breed of liar. He asks Heyman why he stole Cesaro away.

Heyman says hard questions deserve hard answers, and he is the one behind the 21-1. He says that Cesaro was already a Heyman guy when he won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
