WWE MAIN EVENT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JAN. 30

C.J. here for some Wednesday night fun.

Recap of Paul Heyman's performance review on Monday Night Raw.

Broadcast is live.

I CAME TO PLAY!

We're starting Main Event with some MizTV, with special guest Ryback!

Wahoo.

Ryback: "Thank's for having me. I'm actually a really big fan of your show."

They go back and forth with some really tame action. The Miz asks why Ryback threw his couch last time he was on the show.

Ryback: "I didn't realize how comfortable these things really are."

The Miz: "If you're dishing out the compliments, feed me more!"

Ryback does not appriciate The Miz's humor. Miz apologies for the joke.

Recap of Ryback vs. Antonio Cesaro on last week's (Jan. 23) Main Event.

Ryback says, "last week, Cesaro ran away like a coward. He will not be so lucky this week."

Cesaro makes his way to the ring, yelling some gibberish into the mic. I can't understand what he is saying, but I will assume it is awesome.

Antonio Cesaro vs. Ryback

Match starts, and we cut to Michael Cole and The Miz so I can't see what the hell is going on in the ring.

We finally see Ryback stomping a mudhole in Cesaro's ass in the corner.

Cesaro with a series of high knees. He goes for the suplex, but Ryback counters with a wicked delayed on of his own.

Seriously, Cesaro was in the air for at least 30 seconds.

Down he finally goes. Ryback follows it up by sending him out of the ring. Cesaro and The Miz get a bit mouthy before the US Champion makes his way back into the ring.

Ryback whips him into the corner and tries to follow, but Cesaro is able to get the shoulder up. He tries to capitalize, but he gets tossed by a Ryback backbody drop.

Ryback with a series of chops in the corner. Into the ropes Cesaro goes, and into the mat his dome follows. Repeatedly.

Ryback again sends Cesaro out of the ring. An Irish Whips sends Cesaro straight into the barricade.

Mr. "FEED ME MORE" is dominating this match.

We come back from commercial with Ryback bear hugging Cesaro. The US Champion is able to get out with a few well placed elbows. He stumbles back into the corner. Ryback tries to charge, but Cesaro is able to roll out of the way.

A shoulder right into the post, and Ryback is down outside the ring.

The Miz fills up the silence with some Pro-US sentiments.

Ref reaches a nine count before rolling back in.

Cesaro throwing some one-twos before the ref has to pull him off. He goes back to work with some high knees to the dome.

He goes for the pin, but only gets two.

A pair of stomps to Ryback's chest leaves the monster writhing in pain. Cesaro with the headlock to keep Ryback grounded.

Ryback gets his shine, planting Cesaro with a spinebuster. "FEED ME MORE" fills the arena as he calls his shot.

A nasty meathook clothesline sends Cesaro rolling out of the ring.

Shades of last week as Cesaro tries to leave the match.

Ryback gives chase, catching up to Cesaro and planting his dome into the steel ramp. Back into the ring we go.

Cesaro is still having none of it. He rolls out of the other side of the ring.

A HUGE BOOT TO MIZ'S FACE! THE MIZ IS DOWN! I REPEAT THE MIZ IS DOWN!

Cesaro takes off through the crowd. Ryback is calling for his head from the ring. Ref makes his ten count, and Ryback is your winner via countout once again.

The Miz looks like someone has been reading his Trapper Keeper.

Recap of Tensai vs. Brodus Clay dance off

Backstage with The Prime Time Players giving Tensai some grief. Tensai does not approve.

Prime Time Players walk away doing the "Millions of dollars! Millions of dollars! Millions of dollars!" dance.

Brodus Clay walks up. He says that Tensai should not take them so seriously, and that it was all just a joke.

Tensai does not find it funny at all. He storms over and kicks a paint can, or something, so we know he is really angry.

Creative has less for Tensai than he has dance moves.

Fade to black.

End.
