#5 WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Ali vs. Kevin Owens (Fastlane)

This match should have been a disaster. Everyone wanted to see Kofi Kingston compete in the match and as a result of that, the crowd was hostile to all three performers even though both Ali and Kevin Owens are supposed to be fan favourites. However, the performance of all three of these men helped these superstars gain the crowd's respect. This match included everything from a superkick party, to near falls, to absolutely insane moves.
Daniel Bryan excelled in his heel role as he took advantage of Rowan's strength and hit several impressive moves including a dropkick from the top rope into the barricade. Kevin Owens was his usual impressive self as he nearly scored the victory with the Pop-Up Powerbomb and the Stunner, hit a beautiful diving splash over the top rope, and hit a vicious Pop-Up Apron Powerbomb.
Ali was the star of the match as he entered to boos from the crowd before hitting several impressive moves including a Reverse Rana, an Avalanche Spanish Fly, a 450-Splash off of the apron, and a springboard tornado DDT to the outside of the ring. He also managed to kick out of a Pop-Up Powerbomb on the apron. Daniel Bryan's spot to win the match where he caught a springboard tornado DDT attempt from Ali with a Running Knee.
