WWE 'Main Event' results and live blog for Dec. 12: Ryback vs. Alberto Del Rio

WWE Main Event comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Dec. 12, 2012) at a special start time of 6:30 p.m. ET on the Ion Television network for yet another weekly episodic program from the largest pro wrestling company out there.

The reason the show is on so early -- and it will replay at midnight -- is because Ion will be broadcasting a special concert for Hurricane Sandy relief.

Tonight's show features The Ryback taking on Alberto Del Rio in the final show before this weekend's TLC pay-per-view (PPV) in Brooklyn, New York.

Come back here at 6:30 p.m. ET for complete results and the running live blog.
