WWE live event results: Moline, Illinois (March 3rd, 2018)

#8 Shinsuke Nakamura vs Dolph Ziggler

The WWE Universe didn’t seem too invested in this match and barely reacted for either Nakamura or Ziggler. Ziggler, who will be a part of the upcoming six-pack challenge WWE Title match at Fastlane, tried his best to try and play the crowd into singing Nakamura’s theme song in order to get some heat, but, once again the WWE Universe didn’t seem to care much.

Nevertheless, both Ziggler and Nakamura did manage to put up an amazing match as the crowd slowly came alive and started to respond to both men. “The King of Strong Style” picked up the win after connecting with the Kinsasha out of nowhere; following a schoolboy pin attempt by Ziggler.

Result: Shinsuke Nakamura def. Dolph Ziggler

#9 AJ Styles vs Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens vs Baron Corbin- WWE Championship

The match started after Owens and Zayn shared a long hug with each other, as Styles and Corbin came in and started beating up both guys. Both Owens and Zayn looked pretty strong and dominant throughout the match as they teamed up on AJ Styles for the most part of it. However, Styles managed to retain the WWE Title following a Phenomenal Forearm on Zayn for the win.

WWE Championship Fatal Four Way with three of the five opponents in the six pack challenge won by yours truly. There was a little alliance in the works from Baron Corbin and myself, but it failed in the end, just like the result of a new WWE Champion tonight. #WWEMoline pic.twitter.com/V5ROPFyTfC
