The first time John Cena wrestled in Bangor was on November 4th, 2002, at the Bangor Auditorium.

It happened during a WWE SmackDown Live Event, where Cena teamed with Dawn Marie, but came up short against Billy Kidman and Torrie Wilson.

The next time Cena returned to Bangor was nearly a decade later, once again at the Bangor Auditorium—and it ended up being the final WWE event ever held there.

On March 4th, 2012, Cena defeated Kane in a Last Man Standing Match on a card headlined by WWE Champion CM Punk beating Dolph Ziggler.

The last time Cena performed in Bangor was during WWE’s first-ever show at the then-newly built Cross Insurance Center.

On June 28th, 2014, Cena defeated Bray Wyatt in a street fight, and although WWE returned to the venue many times in the years that followed, this marked his final appearance there.

10 Fastest Championship Matches in WWE History

A lightning fast championship match can be shocking, both for the right and the wrong reasons. Some of the quickest matches in WWE history have caused Superstars like Daniel Bryan to be catapulted to the top of the card, while others like Kofi Kingston had short moments of glory snatched away from them.

For this list, we're not counting Money in the Bank cash-ins like Dean Ambrose pinning Seth Rollins in nine seconds or Jack Swagger taking Chris Jericho's title in eight seconds. These are mostly traditional matches, minus one Money in the Bank precursor where Trish Stratus pulled the biggest heel move of her career.

Of course this is wrestling, so cheating is 100-percent legal for this list. If you happened to low blow your opponent just moments before the match began, only for the bell to ring thanks to some hapless referee -- that's a'okay with us!

Whether it be an iconic retirement match at Wrestlemania or a bizarre untelevised moment between a veteran and a rising star at Madison Square Garden, these are officially the 10 fastest championship matches in the history of WWE. Get out your stopwatches if you don't believe us!
