WWE Main Event: Dolph Ziggler beaten by friend and Intercontinental Champion Big E
Multi-Diva dust-up also contested, with Tamina picking up the win

Dolph Ziggler earned an Intercontinental Championship shot on WWE Main Event - but couldn't quite seize the title.
The Show-Off won a Triple Threat No. 1 Contender's match at the beginning of the show, though he came up just short at the end of it following a dazzling donnybrook with Big E.
Christian secured an opportunity to face Big E for his strap on Monday's edition of Raw but a mild concussion ruled him out of competing on Tuesday, leaving the champion in need of a new challenger.
Ziggler, Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio had been bested by Captain Charisma in a Fatal Four-Way on the red brand, so were given another chance to collect a crack at gold on Main Event.
Ziggler emerged victorious, pinning Del Rio after Mexico's Great Export had attempted to execute a Backstabber on Sheamus, setting up a duel with long-time friend - and occasional enemy - Big E.
Acquaintances
And while the bleach-blonde Superstar's swiftness caused his larger rival concerns, Big E prevailed by kicking out of a Famouser and hitting Ziggler with the Big Ending, before hugging his beaten pal.
Big E and Ziggler will get to renew acquaintances, however, in the 30-man Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania, a night on which myriad females will try to prise AJ Lee's Divas Title.
Every woman on WWE's roster will compete in the Vickie Guerrero Divas International - and fans got an insight into the carnage that will ensure in New Orelans when a 10-girl tag-team bout took place on Main Event.
Summer Rae, Layla, Alicia Fox, Aksana and Tamina overcame Natalya, Naomi, Cameron, Emma and Eva Marie, when Lee's protector, Tamina, clocked Funkadactyl Naomi with a Superkick.
But Lee did not let Tamina enjoy the triumph on her own, rushing from the announce table to join in the celebrations and steal her ally's limelight.
