Recap of WWE Main Event (17.04.2013)

Here is a recap of tonight's Main Event. Tonight's show includes a battle-royal match, where the winner gets a title-shot against IC-champion Wade Barrett later tonight. Tonight's Main Event includes stars such as Santino Marella, 3MB, The Usos, Alex Riley, The Great Khali, Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett.

1) 10 man Battle-royal contender's match (The winner goes on to face Wade Barrett later tonight)
Summary
A great match up, where The Great Khali was the favorite before the match started. But oddly enough R Truth was not a part of the match. Maybe he will go on to to face Barrett later this year? Anyway back to the match. After a lot of eliminations, it came down to Gabriel and Epico (or Primo). Gabriel ended up being the last man standing.

Winner
Justin Gabriel

My opinion
I thought it was odd that R Truth was not involved in the match. But Gabriel is a hard working man who deserves some glory if you ask me! Though later this night Barrett mentioned R Truth in a backstage interview, which probably means that they will face each other at one point.

2) Some recap from Raw earlier this week is shown
Summary
First they aired a recap surrounding the current feud between Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger. Then they went on to show a clip from Cm Punk's epic promo which aired on Raw.

My opinion
Main event has always been about promoting their top-shows, so this was fine for me!

3) Wade Barrett (C) vs Justin Gabriel for the IC-title
Summary
This was a great back and foreword match. Both Gabriel and Barrett showed their great in-ring skills. The match had a couple of great angles to. Already in the start of the match both men had a great combo with back and foreword moves, which made the crowd get into the match. But Barrett managed to get a grip on Gabriel, and dominated a big part of the match. After Barrett had dominated the match for 7-8 minutes, Gabriel managed to get himself back in the match again. After a lot of counters and near falls, the match ended with Barrett using a typical heel-trick, which gave him the opportunity to connect with his finisher "The Bull-Hammer".

Winner
Wade Barrett

My opinion
This was a main-event caliber match. It proves that men like Gabriel and Barrett should be in the main-event scene. Both men delivered a fantastic match. Barrett had to win this one, which helps building him as a credible champion, but Gabriel proved to us that he deserves more than being a jobber.

4) Another recap from Raw
Summary
WWE takes a closer look at the current top-feud between Ryback and John Cena. A great summary on their on-going feud.

My opinion
I don't like the fact that Cena is burying Ryback the way he did with his promo. He takes away the credibility Ryback has been building by himself. He said things like: "You say you are the biggest treat I have ever had as champion. I have fought men like Randy Orton, Triple H and Shawn Michaels for this belt. And they were my friends!"

Hopefully Ryback's backstage heat will not end up with the result of him being buried by Cena and the WWE. He is a future star that deserves the title if you ask me! Everybody should be allowed to do a mistake once in a while!

Overall Summary
Summary
The show had two good matches, where Justin Gabriel was the one who ended up stealing the show! What a great wrestler he is. This man truly deserves to be more than a mid-card jobber! Anyway the title match between Gabriel and Barrett was main-event caliber if you ask me.

Match of the night
Wade Barrett (C) vs Justin Gabriel
