March 13 , 2013 Main Event results The March 13 , 2013 Edition of Main Event is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , it was taped at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne , Indiana on March 12 , 2013 . Summary . Rivalries were renewed on WWE Main Event as World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio battled Big Show in the featured contest on ION Television . Also , The Usos battled 3MB and Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett squared off with fellow WWE NXT alum Justin Gabriel . On the Jan . 8 , 2013 , episode of SmackDown , Alberto Del Rio defeated Big Show in a brutal Last Man Standing Match to fulfill his destiny and win the World Heavyweight Championship . Del Rio defeated The World ’ s Largest Athlete in a second Last Man Standing contest at Royal Rumble and in a singles match at Extreme Rules . Since then , the Mexican hero has focused his attention on his WrestleMania 29 opponent , Jack Swagger , but as evidenced on ION Television , the animosity between Big Show and the World Heavyweight Champion still boils . Although the title was not on the line , Big Show was certainly seeking revenge on a personal level against the World Champion . The World ’ s Largest Athlete ’ s rage was further stoked by an attack by The Shield during his battle with Seth Rollins on Raw . Big Show and Del Rio immediately exchanged offensive maneuvers — highlighting the in - ring familiarity both Superstars have developed with one another . Just as momentum swung in the World Heavyweight Champion ’ s favor , his WrestleMania 29 challenger , Jack Swagger — with his founding father Zeb Colter in tow — made his way onto the entrance ramp . The “ Real American ” and Colter maintained a watchful eye on Del Rio as Big Show used the distraction to regain control of the contest . The World ’ s Largest Athlete focused his offense on Del Rio ’ s arm and shoulder — a tactic normally used by the World Heavyweight Champion in an effort to set up his patented Cross Armbreaker . The WWE Universe in Fort Wayne , however , was firmly in support of Del Rio . Feeding off the energy in the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum , Del Rio battled back , executing an impressive hurricanrana on the giant , followed by a seated senton to regain full control of the bout . As the World Heavyweight Champion prepared for his Cross Armbreaker , Big Show managed to overpower him and dump him over the top rope and to the outside . As the WWE official began his 10 - count , he was distracted by Big Show , allowing Jack Swagger to attack Del Rio ’ s leg . Unable to regain his footing and the official unaware of the “ Real American ’ s ” actions , the World Heavyweight Champion failed to answer the 10 - count , ultimately securing the victory for Big Show . WWE Main Event ’ s second contest of the evening featured fast - paced tag team action as The Usos battled Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre of 3MB . It seemed as though The Usos had a slight advantage as McIntyre ’ s taped ribs emphasized the destructive power of the attacks he suffered on Raw at the hands of Ryback and Mark Henry . But Slater and McIntyre ’ s 3MB bandmate Jinder Mahal was at ringside and halted The Usos ’ momentum early by pulling down the ropes and sending Jey Uso tumbling to the outside . 3MB briefly took control of the contest , but the resilience of the twin duo kicked in and their uncanny teamwork was on display as they avoided counterattacks by both McIntyre and Slater and regained the advantage . With Slater tossed to the outside , The Usos took down McIntyre before executing an impressive Superfly Splash to secure the win . Following a confrontation with both The Miz and Chris Jericho on Raw , Managing Supervisor of Raw Vickie Guerrero announced on WWE Active that Barrett would defend the title in a Triple Threat Match on the next episode of Raw . Clearly annoyed with Guerrero ’ s decision , Barrett aimed to take out his frustrations on fellow WWE NXT alum Justin Gabriel . The Bare - Knuckle Brawler also had the opportunity to send a message to The Awesome One , who serves as WWE Main Event ’ s color commentator . Barrett and Gabriel have faced off many times and were members of both The Nexus and The Corre together . They understand each other ’ s abilities extremely well , and the Intercontinental Champion proved that his brawling style can perfectly counter Gabriel ’ s speed and agility . Although the South African highflier was on offense for most of the match , Barrett avoided the 450 Splash and after his opponent ducked the Bull Hammer elbow , the Intercontinental Champion connected with his second attempt with the devastating maneuver as Gabriel launched himself off the top rope . After securing the victory , the “ Dead Man Down ” actor approached the star of “ The Marine 3 : Homefront ” and proudly displayed the Intercontinental Championship in preparation for their Triple Threat Match with Chris Jericho on Raw .
