May 29 , 2013 Main Event results The May 29 , 2013 Edition of Main Event is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the Rexall Place in Edmonton , Alberta , Canada on May 28 , 2013 . Summary . WWE Main Event was full of pulse - pounding WWE action including Sheamus battling Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett , Justin Gabriel going toe - to - toe with Antonio Cesaro and R - Truth joining forces with Tons of Funk to face 3MB . Also , a brand new commentary team of The Miz , Josh Matthews and Ricardo Rodriguez debuted ! Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett and The Celtic Warrior are no strangers inside the squared circle . They have faced off previously in battles that have degraded into all - out brawls . Also , still visibly upset over his loss to Fandango on Raw following The Miz ’ s interference as special guest referee , Barrett engaged in a heated exchange with The Awesome One before the contest , only to ramp up tensions . The familiarity between Sheamus and Barrett was clearly evident early in the contest as momentum swings remained even . Although The Celtic Warrior tried to rely on his strength to keep The Barrett Barrage at bay , The Bareknuckle Brawler ’ s resilience was enough to balance out Sheamus ’ offense . The physicality of the contest reached a fever pitch when Barrett knocked his opponent out of the ring causing Sheamus to apparently injure his elbow . Alas , The Fighting Irishman remained in the fight even as Barrett targeted the elbow . Just as the WWE Universe had hoped , the match turned into an all - out brawl with neither Superstar maintaining an edge for very long . It became impossible to predict who would have his hand raised in victory . Barrett and Sheamus pulled out all the stops , but it was ultimately a Brogue Kick out of nowhere that secured a hard - fought victory for The Celtic Warrior . Following the contest , the Intercontinental Champion had some harsh words for the Canadian crowd , claiming he was so tough he could beat them all . Barrett then directed his attention to his nemesis , The Miz . Challenging The Awesome One ended up making the British grappler ’ s night even worse as he was silenced with a Skull - Crushing Finale . The second contest on WWE Main Event was a unique match pitting highflier Justin Gabriel against arguably the pound - for - pound strongest Superstar in WWE , Antonio Cesaro . Early in the contest , the South African Superstar tried to rely on his agility , but Cesaro ’ s raw power was more than enough to keep Gabriel grounded . Displaying his uncanny technical abilities leveraged with his strength , Cesaro dominated Gabriel throughout the contest . Although the WWE NXT alum managed to muster some offense , the throwback proved to be too much . Cesaro executed The Neutralizer to secure the win . The WWE Universe in Edmonton was treated to a musically - inclined Six Man Tag Team Match during WWE Main Event ’ s final contest , as rapping Superstar R - Truth joined forces with Tons of Funk to battle 3MB . Although Heath Slater , Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal mustered some offense against “ Sweet T ” Tensai , Brodus Clay & Truth , the size and power of Tons of Funk mixed with the unorthodox style of their tag team partner proved to be the deciding factor in the contest . Left alone after Slater and McIntyre were knocked out of the ring , Mahal was sandwiched between Tons of Funk and dropped by R - Truth . After the victory , R - Truth joined Tons of Funk for an impromptu dance celebration .
