When: Fastlane 2018.

Fastlane 2018 only happened last year, and yet it's nigh-on impossible to remember what the sh*t went down in Columbus, Ohio that night. For the benefit of those who can't recall, the main event was a throwaway 'Six Pack Challenge' that included AJ Styles, John Cena, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler.

Yep, it was definitely a main event match on a pay-per-view. Thank God for this Attitude Adjustment bump.

The set-up was joyous. Styles hinted that he was ready to sprint on top of the announce table and perform some kind of move on Cena that'd drive the jorts-wearing part-timer through the desk beside it. That... didn't happen. AJ did run onto the scene only to be grabbed by Johnny boy and put through the other table with Cena's finish.

The fans went wild, instantly pleased that their bloodlust had been satisfied by the main event table-break standard. Just like he did for Roman Reigns' Superman Punch two years earlier, AJ sold the move like death. That's why he's one of the best, folks.
