If nothing else, Shane McMahon proved he knows how to solve problems.

To help determine the top contender to WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, Shane-O-Mac first proposed a simple solution, scheduling a No. 1 Contender’s Fatal 4-Way main event between AJ Styles, Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. After Zayn was ruthlessly ambushed backstage by Owens, however, it was revealed that the leader of the Zayniacs would not be medically cleared to compete.

Never one to disappoint, Shane-O-Mac found a worthy replacement on short notice: Cesaro!

The Swiss Superman, returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him since November, showed no signs of ring rust, catching Styles in mid-air and turning him inside out with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker in the opening minutes. From there, the action came fast and furious, with each Superstar displaying incredible athleticism during the match, which would end the moment a pinfall or submission as declared.

In one particularly quick-hitting exchange, Owens cannonballed Jericho, only to eat an enzuigiri from Styles, who then felt the wrath of a Very European Uppercut. Styles bounced back with a high-elevation springboard 450 splash on Jericho, but Cesaro pulled the Fozzy frontman out of the ring, saving his chances of becoming the top contender.

Cesaro soon after launched into an epic “uppercut train,” bouncing like a pinball from one corner to the next, nailing each of his three opponents with fiery uppercuts.

Later on, Jericho hit the Codebreaker on Styles, prompting the sold-out American Airlines Center to erupt into a massive chant of “This is awesome!” The subsequent fall was broken up, and The Phenomenal One rebounded yet again, stepping through a backslide attempt and slamming Jericho face-first to the mat with the Styles Clash. With Owens and Cesaro laid out outside the ring, Styles secured the pinfall, earning the right to challenge WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns!
