May 15 , 2013 Main Event results The May 15 , 2013 Edition of Main Event is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita , Kansas on May 14 , 2013 . Summary . With only days until Kane and Daniel Bryan defend the WWE Tag Team Titles at Extreme Rules against The Shield ’ s Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns , The Big Red Monster battled Rollins on WWE Main Event . Although Daniel Bryan was not in attendance , Kane displayed little trepidation when all three members of The Shield made their presence known . Despite the daunting challenge for Rollins , he attempted to rely on his agility early on in the contest , but the experience and power of his opponent — a former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion — proved to be the dominant force inside the squared circle . Kane methodically manhandled Rollins , nearly executing the Tombstone early — forcing the black - and blond - haired grappler to regroup with his Shield cohorts . Rollins eventually managed to get some offense in with Dean Ambrose and Reigns encouraging him to keep The Big Red Monster on the defensive . Alas , Kane ’ s experience once again allowed him to regain control . Witnessing the potential destruction of their comrade , Ambrose and Reigns distracted Kane , allowing Rollins again to take advantage . The ability of The Shield to distract a veteran like Kane without getting directly involved in the contest truly solidified the reputation they have built in the months since their debut . But Rollins ’ momentum stalled and the former World Heavyweight Champion once again dismantled the young Superstar and finally executed a Chokeslam that should have sealed the deal . As the official lowered his hand to the mat for the final count , Ambrose interfered , ending the match in a disqualification win for Kane . Knowing Daniel Bryan was not in the arena , The Shield ’ s pack mentality took over and they began a relentless assault of The Big Red Monster . As they prepared for the devastating Triple Powerbomb , The Usos ran into the ring and came to Kane ’ s rescue — ultimately sending The Shield back into the crowd . The Barrett Barrage was in full swing early in the battle as the Intercontinental Champion utilized his brawling abilities to manhandle Sin Cara and keep the masked marvel grounded . Although the noticeable size advantage was certainly in Wade Barrett ’ s favor , Sin Cara managed to avoid a rush from his opponent opening up the opportunity for a series of eye - popping maneuvers . Soaring around the ring , Sin Cara delighted the WWE Universe as Barrett struggled to regain control . Eventually , the Intercontinental Champion managed to overpower the Mexican Superstar , but an ingenious counter during an attempted powerbomb allowed Sin Cara to trap Barrett in a pin . The WWE Universe jumped to their feet when the official finished the three - count , giving Sin Cara a huge upset victory against the Intercontinental Champion ! South African Superstar Justin Gabriel has been electrifying the WWE Universe on WWE Main Event in recent weeks with his unique brand of high - flying and fast - paced offense . Faced with a major opportunity against former Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes , Gabriel immediately took the fight straight to the mustachioed son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes . The battle was also an opportunity for WWE Main Event commentator The Miz to scout Rhodes — the two Superstars will battle on the Extreme Rules Pre - Show Sunday at 7 : 30 ET / 4 : 30 PT . No doubt studying Rhodes for a potential weakness , The Awesome One watched closely as “ The Cape Town Dare - wolf ’ s ” agility was the prevailing element in the contest . Eventually , Rhodes countered Gabriel ’ s prowess with a huge Alabama Slam . The South African Superstar was unable to regain his momentum , allowing Rhodes to execute his Cross Rhodes for the victory . Following the contest , Rhodes and The Miz exchanged heated words , but saved any physicality for their battle on the Extreme Rules Pre - Show !
