WWE Main Event Recap (W/ Video) - Ziggler Vs. Del Rio, Highlight Reel, Paul Heyman Speaks

Welcome to the WrestlingInc.com WWE Main Event Recap.

- We begin with a video hyping Chris Jericho's first appearance plus CM Punk will address the WWE Universe and The Rock.

- The opener runs and we see pyro and crowd shots. Michael Cole welcomes us to the show with JBL.

- Y2J's music hits and he makes his entrance for the Highlight Reel which is set up in the ring. Jericho says the Miz was supposed to be his guest and we sends to video from RAW of Miz being injured by Antonio Cesaro. Jericho starts to announce his replacement guest as Ricardo Rodriguez appears on the apron and gets in the ring. Ricardo pulls out a mic from his pail and makes the formal introduction for Alberto Del Rio.

Del Rio thanks Chris for having him on his show and says he will finish Big Show this Sunday and remain the World Champion. Jericho wishes him luck and talks about his history with Del Rio's family in the business. Jericho says if he wins the Elimination Chamber he will face Del Rio and take his title. They begin to argue in Spanish and Ricardo interjects with a long monologue and runs out of breath. Dolph Ziggler comes out to save this segment.

Ziggler, Big E, and AJ stand at the base of the ramp. Ziggler says they are wasting their time if they are not talking about him. Jericho insults AJ and Big E has a problem with it. Jericho tries to figure out what the "E" stands for and goes through a long list like "Big Earwax." Ziggler holds Big E back and tells him it is not worth it. Ziggler says that sometime between now and WrestleMania, he will cash in his briefcase.

Del Rio says it's time for Ziggler to be shown a lesson and he will be the one to do it. Jericho polls the crowd and they want to see the match. JBL wonders if we will see the briefcase cashed-in tonight.
