Ziggler wins Six-Pack Challenge
This one is incredibly recent, but it was also incredibly surprising. On the first SmackDown Live after the draft, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan set up a Six-Pack Challenge to determine a No. 1 contender for Dean Ambrose’s WWE Championship.
Among the contenders were AJ Styles and John Cena, long rumored to be the top contenders for the SmackDown title since the split was announced. Baron Corbin and Bray Wyatt were also in the match as mega heels that were seemingly perfect as counters to the ultra babyface Ambrose. Even Apollo Crews seemed to have great odds as the red-hot young superstar who won a battle royal earlier in the evening.

But the win went to Dolph Ziggler, who had been putting over younger talent recently, and he won with a superkick on Styles to complete the shocking finish.
