In a Tweet sent out by McMahon, an already announced match between Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler will now be for a spot in the title match at “Fastlane 2018”. The match will be taking place this coming week on “Smackdown Live” and will turn the triple threat into a fatal four way with Corbin or Ziggler joining Zayn, Owens and Smackdown World Champion AJ Styles.
An unexpected end to #SDLive with a triple threat match made for #WWEFastlane…I’m going to make a bit more interesting.
Next week: @BaronCorbinWWE vs. @HEELZiggler. The winner is added to the match and makes it a #Fatal4Way for the @WWE title.

Here’s how the #1 contenders match went.
Opinion: I’m really not sold on this. The problem isn’t about the number of people in the match but rather the story of how they’re getting there. At the moment, Bryan made a match and now McMahon had changed it. Why do I have a feeling that next week Bryan will add someone else and make it a five way? It dilutes the match and makes it about the bosses, which isn’t exactly thrilling stuff.
Who do you want to see added to the match? Will it be capped at four participants? Let us know in the comments below.
