Wednesday Night Main Event - Main Event recap for January 23, 2013

Wednesday Night Main Event

January 23, 2013

Hello, and welcome to another recap episode!

This time around, it'll be an episode of WWE Main Event! In one hour, we plug some holes in the never-ending plot of the WWE and make some new ones! Let's dig in!

We start the show off with the greatest brief infodump in Royal Rumble history...literally, as it involves the entire history of the Rumble.

Matt Striker asks Ryback how he's preparing for tonight...and he's preparing with another shot at Antonio Cesaro. Striker trikes to be funny, but the only jokes that Ryback likes are his own.

Antonio Cesaro defends his United States Championship against The Miz on Sunday at the Royal Rumble pre-show. Speaking of which, Antonio Cesaro makes a comedic jab at The Miz before making fun of Ryback...who promptly shows up when Cesaro is really getting started.

Antonio Cesaro almost runs away against Ryback, but The Miz jumps out of his commentary seat and tosses him back into the ring...and towards Ryback! Cesaro gets away anyway, and Ryback wins by count-out.

Matt Striker interviews The Big Show, who doesn't have to justify his actions. The locker room reeks of weakness, and he is the only one fit to wear the World title.

Team Rhodes Scholars (Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes) make fun of The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and how awful the tag team divison supposedly is. When they win the Tag Team titles at Royal Rumble from Team Hell No, they will purge the tag division of "teams with limited potential."

Team Rhodes Scholars (Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes) beats The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). During the match, The Usos make fun of Cody's mustache multiple times by putting one of their dreads above their mouth. Stay classy, Usos.

The Intercontinental Cup starts next week! For three weeks, six men fight, but only one will be #1 contender for Wade Barrett's Intercontinental Championship!
