The 16-time world champion defeated AJ Styles in a thrilling encounter and earned a championship opportunity at Fastlane. The WWE title match at the pay per view will now be a six-pack challenge.
AJ Styles will now have to defend her title against five other competitors including Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and John Cena. After the match Corbin, Owens and Zayn tried to attack John Cena but Ziggler came to the rescue and took them out with his superkick.
The ‘Showoff’ then smashed Styles before being hit with an Attitude adjustment from John Cena. The statement made by Cena was enough to put everyone at notice and suggest he’s coming for the title.
The main event of Fastlane will be quite special for John Cena as a victory in the match will not only make him the WWE champion but also a record 17-time world champion.
