Here are the full video highlights from the Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship at WWE Fastlane.

The main event of WWE Fastlane started as a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship as AJ Styles was originally set to defend his title against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. However, as the weeks went by, we ended up with a Six-Pack Challenge as Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and John Cena were added to the mix.

With Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura, who picked up a win earlier in the evening over Rusev, waiting in the wings to face the victor at WrestleMania 34 next month in New Orleans, here’s how things played out on Sunday night in the main event of WWE Fastlane.

SmackDown Live commissioner Shane McMahon was introduced before the match and will be sitting ringside for the festivities. Hmm … wonder if he’ll get involved.

With six competitors in this match, the entrances and introductions obviously took a little while but everyone finally made it to the ring and we’re all set for action in this Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship.

John Cena held an AA party right from the start and got in one on Owens, Zayn, Ziggler and Corbin immediately, setting up a one-on-one battle with AJ Styles. There’s certainly no shortage of history there, including their most recent matchup that got Cena into this match in the first place.

The two went back and forth for a few minutes and Cena had Styles up for an AA on two occasions, but Styles was able to escape as the four remaining superstars made their way back into the ring. All five men gave Cena a good, old-fashioned beatdown and tossed him out of the ring.

A couple of separate battles broke out, and after a few minutes, it was just AJ Styles and Kevin Owens left in the ring until a flurry of offense broke out.

After another short battle between Styles and Owens, John Cena regained the advantage in the match, hitting a double Five-Knuckle Shuffle before Dolph Ziggler turned the tide following yet another AA attempt (how many is that now?). Ziggler went for a pin attempt, but it was broken up by the champ before he and Cena went at it again. AJ hit the Styles Clash and seemingly had the match won, but the pin was broken up by Sami Zayn.

It was then Baron Corbin’s turn on offense, and he actually looked very good here. He took out Owens and Styles before turning his attention to Dolph Ziggler, and after throwing him over the barricade, Corbin obliterated him in the crowd area.

With Corbin and Ziggler out of it, the attention turned back toward the ring as Kevin Owens tried to get the announce tables involved. But AJ Styles was able to fight that off for a moment. Owens eventually did find himself back on the table and almost ate an AA from Cena, but it was Styles that got that treatment instead.

After Cena was then taken out, it was Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn left in the ring and Zayn, like he promised he would, actually did lie down for KO in the middle of the ring. But Owens wasn’t buying it, and the old friends/rivals went at it inside and outside of the ring.

And to nobody’s surprise, Sami Zayn got in Shane McMahon’s face, but out of nowhere, in came Owens with a superkick that missed Sami and blasted Shane.

Back inside, Owens finally hit his superkick on Zayn and then had a pin on the returning Dolph Ziggler, but Shane McMahon pulled the referee from the ring, distracting Owens and allowing Sami to hit the Helluva Kick. But Shane then pulled Zayn off of Owens. So in the matter of 30 seconds, Shane cost both Owens and Zayn the WWE Championship.

Baron Corbin came back to play and brought the steel steps with him. He got a few shots in until John Cena took them away from him and hit an AA (seriously, I’ve lost count) on Corbin on the steps, but he couldn’t get the three count as Ziggler broke it up. Cena then hit ANOTHER AA on Ziggler and then went for another, but Owens was back in and went for the Pop-Up Powerbomb. Alas, out of nowhere came AJ Styles with the Phenomenal Forearm to get the 1-2-3 on Owens.

The dream match is on. AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura. What a time to be alive.
