Top 5 Matches in WWE Fastlane history

#2 - "6-Pack Challenge Match for the WWE Championship" - John Cena vs Baron Corbin vs AJ Styles vs Dolph Ziggler vs Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn (Fastlane 2018)

A six pack challenge

Number two on our list is quite a doozy. From last year's WWE Fastlane, we have our main event featuring the likes of John Cena, Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles for the WWE Championship, as all 6 men competed in a 6-pack challenge. The rules are simple. The first WWE Superstar to snag a pinfall or submission is the victor and the WWE Champion.

The setup began at the 2017 Royal Rumble, where AJ Styles defeated both Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens to retain the WWE Championship. In the meantime, Shinsuke Nakamura had won the 30-men Royal Rumble match to earn a WWE Championship match for WrestleMania 34.

During an episode of SmackDown Live, both Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles teamed up to defeat both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a tag team match. Due to the tensions between both Zayn and Owens, SmackDown Live GM Daniel Bryan decided to place Kevin Owen against Sami Zayn in a Number One Contenders match, which resulted in a double DQ.

Due to this result, Commissioner Shane McMahon announced that Dolph Ziggler would face Baron Corbin, with the winner being added to the match. However, both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn attacked Baron Corbin before the match to prevent the match from happening.

A week later, John Cena earned his spot into the match by defeating AJ Styles. Cena, using his free agent status between RAW and SmackDown Live respectively to "earn" his way into the match. He would have wanted to face Nakamura and Styles at WrestleMania in a Triple Threat match.

Due to all the confusion and multitude of title contenders wanting a shot at the WWE Championship, a decision was made to make a match at WWE Fastlane as a 6-pack challlenge between AJ Styles, John Cena, Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Dolph Ziggler.

This match was good, yet crazy at the same as you'd expect. We would see Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn turn their backs on each other, as Sami Zayn would roll-up Kevin Owens for a near fall. As a result of this, Shane McMahon who was sitting at ringside during the match, would get involved, resulting in a Superkick from Kevin Owens to Shane O'Mac.

During the concluding moments of the match. we would see John Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment on Dolph Ziggler, but would be hit with a Pop-Up Powerbomb by Kevin Owens. This set up for WWE Champion AJ Styles to connect with the Phenomenal Forearm on Kevin Owens to score the pinfall and the victory to retain the WWE Championship.

AJ Styles would go on to successfully defend his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34, which would also result in a heel turn for Nakamura at the conclusion of their match and set up a series of rematches throughout 2018.
