May 8 , 2013 Main Event results The May 8 , 2013 Edition of Main Event is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the PNC Arena in Raleigh , North Carolina on May 7 , 2013 . Summary . Although Antonio Cesaro was unsuccessful in his bid to reclaim the United States Championship last week , he still promised greatness on Raw and battled Randy Orton on the latest episode of WWE Main Event . Also , Justin Gabriel joined forces with The Usos to face 3MB in six - man tag team action ! Although he failed to reclaim the U . S . Title from Kofi Kingston on WWE Main Event last week , Antonio Cesaro ’ s renewed vigor has caused the Swiss Superman to ditch his yodeling and instead set out to prove that he is the best grappler in WWE . Cesaro dominated Zack Ryder on Raw before staking a bold claim : " I put the ' W ' in WWE . . . there is no one who can do what I do in this ring . " Facing former WWE Champion Randy Orton on WWE Main Event provided the Swiss - born Superstar with an excellent opportunity to prove his clout and “ walk the walk . ” The two have squared off previously , although Cesaro has yet to defeat WWE ’ s Apex Predator . As the opening bell sounded , the Swiss Superman ’ s strategy involved perfectly partnering his power and technical abilities . However , The Viper is no slouch , eventually taking control and methodically striking his opponent . Cesaro displayed adaptability by altering his approach and using his power to strike back methodically in his own right . Targeting Orton ’ s shoulder – wisely trying to neutralize the RKO – the former U . S . Champion proved his abilities at The Viper ’ s expense in and out of the ring . Fighting back , Orton tried to match Cesaro pound - for - pound , but the Swiss Superman often rebounded and maintained control . Focusing his attacks on Orton ’ s shoulder , the WWE Universe gasped for air with each near - fall in Cesaro ’ s favor . After taking out WWE ’ s Apex Predator by tossing him into the air and executing a perfect European uppercut , the match seemed to be all but over as the Swiss - born Superstar lifted his opponent up – no doubt preparing for The Neutralizer . Unfortunately for Cesaro , The Viper dug deep and mustered the energy for an RKO to secure the victory . After last week ’ s singles defeat by Justin Gabriel on WWE Main Event , Heath Slater challenged the South African Superstar to find two partners to face 3MB in a Six - Man Tag Team Match . Gabriel ’ s answer to Slater came in the form of the twin dynamic duo , The Usos . The controlled chaos of the Six - Man Tag Team battle displayed the teamwork of 3MB but also the seamless integration of Gabriel into The Usos ’ style . Keeping Jimmy & Jey grounded , Slater , Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal did their best to rotate in and out of the contest , conserving the energy needed to keep the battle at their pace . Once Gabriel got into the mix , he fed off of the energy of WWE Universe and built up a great deal of momentum , making 3MB attempt to retreat from the contest . With help from The Usos , The Dare - Wolf managed to get McIntyre back into the ring and execute the jaw - dropping 450 Splash to secure the win .
