5 things that should not happen at Fastlane

#2 John Cena becomes a 17-time champion

John Cena should not win his Championship at Fastlane

There are many reasons why John Cena should not win the 6-Pack Challenge to crown the new WWE Champion at Fastlane. The first and most important is that it does not fit the narrative. John Cena is struggling to make it to WrestleMania, and this could seem like the easiest way out of the situation. But there are other reasons too.

An achievement like a 17th world title win deserves to happen at a stage like WrestleMania. Fastlane is not really the right stage for a feat this big. If anything, this will just water down the achievement.

Finally, it will ruin the AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura match at WrestleMania 34. And that's the match that hardcore fans have wanted to see for a long time now.
