July 3 , 2013 Main Event results The July 3 , 2013 Edition of Main Event is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka , Kansas on July 2 , 2013 . Summary . Less than two weeks away from Money in the Bank , WWE Main Event was action - packed , as Christian faced off with Damien Sandow . Also , Jack Swagger battled Sin Cara and Big E Langston sought to assert his dominance against Curt Hawkins . Although they are competing in separate Money in the Bank Ladder Matches , Christian and Damien Sandow met face - to - face on WWE Main Event . With his best friend – Cody Rhodes – observing the action from the announce table , the self - proclaimed Intellectual Savior of the Masses set out to prove his mettle against Captain Charisma – a former World Heavyweight Champion and experienced veteran of the squared circle . Looking to build momentum for their respective Money in the Bank Ladder Matches – Christian vying for the WWE Championship contract and Sandow for the World Heavyweight Championship contract – a victory on WWE Main Event would certainly build momentum in their favor . Both competitors methodically approached one another early in the contest , looking for any sign of weakness . From there , the contest shifted back and forth , with both Superstars displaying their uncanny athletic and technical abilities . Sandow managed to gain an advantage and take control of the contest . Captain Charisma refused to relent , putting his stamina on display , not only for Sandow , but for the other participants in Money in the Bank All - Stars . As Christian fought back , it was clear that the fortitude of each Superstar would certainly become the decisive factor in the match as Christian fed off of the energy pulsating from the WWE Universe . As they continued to exchange blows and near - falls , both Superstars realized they would have to seize on the right opportunity to secure a win . Fortune favored Christian as he stunned Sandow using the ropes and masterfully executed the Killswitch for a hard - fought victory . Before Jack Swagger ’ s match against Sin Cara got underway , Zeb Colter took the opportunity to voice his discontent not only for illegal immigrants in America , but the way in which many Americans celebrate the Fourth of July . No doubt insulted by Colter ’ s tirade , Sin Cara responded to a shove from Jack Swagger with a flurry of kicks , trying to knock his larger opponent off balance . Unfortunately for the masked marvel , Swagger ’ s size and strength advantage took center stage , as The Real American began to man - handle the Mexican high - flyer . Although Sin Cara ’ s impressive agility allowed him to briefly muster an offensive assault , being slammed into the barricade outside the ring stymied his momentum . Maintaining the dominant edge throughout the rest of the bout , Swagger wore down Sin Cara enough that when he applied the Patriot Act , the tap out was immediate . Divas Champion AJ Lee joined Cody Rhodes and Josh Matthews on commentary as Big E Langston squared off with Curt Hawkins . Not afraid of the sheer size and strength of Langston , Hawkins tried to uses his quickness to offset the massive Superstar . Unfortunately for the Queens , N . Y . native , Big E ’ s raw power was too much , as Hawkins was practically manhandled throughout the contest . Although Hawkins put forth a valiant effort , a big splash followed by Langston ’ s patented Big Ending was more than enough to secure the victory .
