December 11 , 2013 Main Event results The December 11 , 2013 Edition of Main Event is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the Moda Center in Portland , Oregon on December 10 , 2013 . Summary . Days before WWE TLC : Tables , Ladders and Chairs , Dolph Ziggler goes toe - to - toe with former Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel and Natalya prepares for her Divas Championship Match by battling Alicia Fox . Also , the rivalry between Xavier Woods & R - Truth and Tons of Funk continues to intensify . In the WWE TLC Kickoff Match , former World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler goes one - on - one with dancing Superstar Fandango . However , on WWE Main Event , The Showoff had to focus on former Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel , with an eye locked at ringside on Axel ’ s tag team partner , Ryback . Although he no longer holds the prestigious Intercontinental Title and has ditched Paul Heyman , Curtis Axel continues to make a name for himself and he entered Portland knowing that a victory against a former World Heavyweight Champion would provide a great deal of momentum going forward . Well aware of Ziggler ’ s speed and amateur wrestling background , Axel displayed his own technical prowess in an effort to keep his opponent reeling . Both Superstars grappled back and forth with The Showoff taking control after following up a neckbreaker with a flurry of elbows . Proving his resilience , Axel continued to battle back as Ziggler ’ s offensive was pushed into overdrive , finally getting time to regroup when the former World Heavyweight Champion crashed to the outside . The son of WWE Hall of Famer Mr . Perfect took advantage , methodically striking at his opponent and trying to dismantle The Showoff ’ s ability to compete . Nevertheless , Ziggler and Axel traded momentum throughout the remainder of the contest , neither Superstar maintaining an advantage long enough to secure a pinfall . Frustration mounted for both Ziggler and Axel as nothing seemed to be enough . Watching the match from ringside , Ryback finally had enough and ascended to the ring apron only to be knocked down by Ziggler . However , the opening was all Axel needed to execute his patented neckbreaker for the win . In preparation for her Divas Championship Match at WWE TLC against AJ Lee , “ Total Divas ” star and third - generation Diva Natalya battled fellow former Divas Champion and rival Alicia Fox on WWE Main Event . Natalya ’ s technical ability and Alicia Fox ’ s agility certainly made for a competitive contest that kept the WWE Universe in Portland on the edge of their seats . In the opening moments of the contest , Natalya leveraged her mat abilities with her strength , preventing her opponent from mounting any offense . Never one to back down , Alicia fought free of Natalya ’ s hold and did her best to strike hard and fast , nearly ending the contest with a huge boot to the face . Fox then displayed her own technical prowess , nearly securing victory a second time . However , Natalya remained resilient and successfully countered a pinfall into The Sharpshooter to secure the win . In recent weeks , rookie Xavier Woods has drawn the ire of Brodus Clay after borrowing his entrance music and The Funkadactyls . Woods and his mentor , R - Truth , have defeated Tons of Funk in tag team action , but an infuriated Clay managed to beat the NXT standout on Raw . Following the battle , The Funkasaurus continued to attack Woods until Tensai pulled him away . In his WWE Main Event debut , Woods continued to display his incredible athleticism , kicking off the tag team battle against Tensai and immediately taking the massive competitor off his feet . Using his raw power to take control , though , Tensai tagged in Brodus Clay , who immediately let out his aggression on his new rival . Following a methodical onslaught at the hands of The Funkasaurus , Woods barely tagged in R - Truth who shifted the tide in their favor . The Rapping Superstar kept Clay reeling and losing focus , resulting in a heated verbal exchange between the members of Tons of Funk . Refocused , Tons of Funk relied on their teamwork and power to regain control of the contest , preventing R - Truth from tagging in Xavier Woods . Exhausting the last of his energy , R - Truth took down The Funkasaurus and finally tagged Woods . Rested , the rookie Superstar knocked Tensai off the ring apron and avoided any powerful maneuvers at the hands of Clay . Making a tag without The Funkasaurus being aware , Woods took the brunt of a suplex , allowing R - Truth enough time to sneak in and pin Clay for the win . Enraged by the outcome , Clay began attacking R - Truth after the match . Tensai tried to stop his partner and the two stared each other down before Clay left the arena .
