Out of all the match types in WWE, very few are as unpredictable as a Six Pack Challenge match. With six wrestlers all vying for a win, it is difficult for fans to determine who will win because there are so many different outcomes which could happen. If a championship is on the line, then it is possible for anyone to come out the victor as the champion does not have to be pinned to lose the championship.
Over the years, many matches for the WWE Championship have been contested in Six Pack challenges, as well as many other championships. Sometimes these matches are exciting, and unfortunately other times they fall flat on their faces. The only question is - which ones come out on top?
10 Best - Backlash 2016 - Becky Lynch Vs. Alexa Bliss Vs. Carmella Vs. Naomi Vs. Natalya Vs. Nikki Bella
At the peak of the Women's Revolution, there were still some fans who were not entirely sure what the WWE female roster were capable of the in the ring. However, once given the opportunity to shine on both RAW and SmackDown, these women proved that they had earned their spot on the roster.
In the first SmackDown Women's Championship match, six women battled it out to hold the flag for the blue brand, and they did not disappoint. In a flash of what she would bring to the table in the future, Becky Lynch took home the inaugural championship, etching her name in the history books for the first, but not the last time.
9 Worst - No Way Out 2009 - Triple H Vs. The Undertaker Vs. Edge Vs. Jeff Hardy Vs. Big Show Vs. Vladimir Kozlov
At a time of transition for WWE, there was a combination of either aging main event stars and new creations. Unfortunately, not all experiments to the main event level are successes. Despite having established stars like Triple H and The Undertaker in the match at No Way Out 2009, having sluggish wrestlers like The Big Show and Vladimir Kozlov in the match was a detriment, and this Six Pack Challenge struggled to retain the attention of fans.
8 Best - 205 Live 2019 - Oney Lorcan Vs. Jack Gallagher Vs. Tony Nese Vs. Ariya Daivari Vs. Akira Tozawa Vs. Kalisto
205 Live has been criticized for having some inconsistent booking since it began, which has resulted in declining ratings for the show over the years. However, there is no denying that there is some great in-ring action on the purple brand, which was no more evident when six of the best competitors were vying for the number one contender-spot for the Cruiserweight Championship. With a mixture of high-flying and mat-based wrestling, this Six Pack Challenge may be one of the most under-rated of them all.
7 Worst - Backlash 2000 - Crash Holly Vs. Matt Hardy Vs. Hardcore Holly Vs. Jeff Hardy Vs. Perry Saturn Vs. Tazz
At a time when WWE was finding their "Attitude", hardcore matches were very common on their shows, which led to the creation of the WWE Hardcore Championship. There were many wrestlers who sought after the championship, and Backlash 2000 brought six of them together. However, there was nothing fantastical about this contest which consisted of nonsensical weapon shots. Many of these wrestlers were capable of so much more, but were unfortunately saddled with this farcical match.
6 Best - Unforgiven 1999 - Triple H Vs. The Rock Vs. Big Show Vs. Mankind Vs. British Bulldog Vs. Kane
With six of the biggest stars on the WWE roster competing in the ring, and with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the Special Guest Enforcer, this was bound to be a great match for fans to experience. This match also guaranteed a new WWE Champion as the title was vacated prior to the match.
While the Attitude Era was not known for having the most technically sound matches, it did have some of the most exciting battles and had the most popular wrestlers. Matches featuring this kind of star power do not come around very often, but fans of The Attitude Era got to experience plenty of them. Triple H emerged from the match victorious, capturing the WWE Championship for his second reign.
5 Worst - Night of Champions 2009 - Kofi Kingston Vs. MVP Vs. The Miz Vs. Carlito Vs. Jack Swagger Vs. Primo
Good matches are not just about the moves inside of the ring. A good match requires a well-thought out story and for fans to care about the wrestlers in the ring. Despite many of the wrestlers involved in this United States Championship match being formidable performers, many of them were victims of not being seen as legitimate contenders. Many of these wrestlers were former US Champions themselves but had not been given the chance to perform well enough on television, which hurt how fans saw them.
4 Best - Night of Champions 2010 - John Cena Vs. Edge Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Sheamus Vs. Wade Barrett
Night of Champions means that every championship in WWE is defended at the event, which can lead to some exciting opportunities.
Pitting four former WWE Champions and a wrestler with a seemingly bright future against Sheamus was a combustible match, with most fans not being able to pinpoint who would walk away with the championship. It was a long affair which kept fans guessing the entire time.
3 Worst - Survivor Series 2001 - Trish Stratus Vs. Lita Vs. Jacqueline Vs. Jazz Vs. Molly Holly Vs. Ivory
Following The Invasion, fans struggled to find out which wrestlers would come out on top of the WWE, which included a crowded women's division. Despite this match having some well-known female wrestlers and featuring Trish Stratus' first WWE Women's Championship, this match was not given the time of day compared to most of the male matches on the show. The match for the vacate Women's Championship didn't even go five minutes. The future would prove that women's wrestling deserves having the proper placement on WWE shows, but this match was not a good indication of things to come.
2 Best - Fastlane 2018 - AJ Styles Vs. Baron Corbin Vs. Dolph Ziggler Vs. John Cena Vs. Kevin Owens Vs. Sami Zayn
As the last stop before WrestleMania 34, Fastlane featured the top stars of the SmackDown roster showing off their fighting skills for AJ Styles' WWE Championship. This match featured John Cena representing the older generation of WWE and the rest of the wrestlers symbolizing off the bright future for WWE. While at the top of the his game, AJ Styles showed that he was ready to carry SmackDown on his shoulders and defeated the group to solidify his status.
1 Worst - SmackDown 2017 - Jinder Mahal Vs. Sami Zayn Vs. Luke Harper Vs. Erick Rowan Vs. Dolph Ziggler Vs. Mojo Rawley
The landscape of the SmackDown roster was very strong following the WWE Draft which created two separate rosters. However, despite having strong wrestlers to represent the brands, that did not discount them from having some unfortunately poor matches. In a match to determine the number one contender for the WWE Championship, six wrestlers with styles who did not mesh together were placed in a match which did not showcase very well. However, Mahal winning was a shocker and the highlight of the match.
