WWE Fastlane | Predictions

Fastlane will be LIVE from the Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio. 

Match predictions:

New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura (Kickoff Show)
Winners: Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura. 

Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade (Kickoff Show)
Winner: Andrade 

Raw Tag Team Championship: The Revival (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable
This will be an excellent match, I don't see titles changing hands here, Ricochet and Aleister Black will probably be winning the Dusty Rhodes tournament on NXT. 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable aren't winning this either. 
Winners: and STILL RAW tag team champions: The Revival.

SmackDown Women's Championship: Asuka (c) vs. Mandy Rose
Mandy Rose is making a name for herself on SmackDown. She's not winning here though.

Winner: and STILL SmackDown Women's champion: Asuka. 

Asuka wins here and the build up to her next title defence at Wrestlemania against Lacey Evans will start here. 

Women's Tag Team Championship: Sasha Banks & Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina
Tamina defeated Sasha on Raw so logic says Sasha Banks and Bayley will remain champions here.
Winners: and STILL Women's Tag Team champions: Sasha Banks and Bayley. 

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon
For me, the Usos are the best tag team in the company. They will be winning here with Miz turning heel in his hometown on Shane after losing the match. 
Winners: and STILL SmackDown Tag Team champions, The Usos. 

The Shield vs. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley
Prior to this I was going to pick the heels but after much thought, I've chosen The Shield to win because Vince wouldn't want to book Roman to lose a match straight away after his return from illness....would he????

Winners: The Shield

Look out for Dean Ambrose to turn heel on Roman either here at Fastlane or the following night on Raw to set up a match for Wrestlemania. This seems like an obvious scenario since Seth is facing Brock for the title next month. 

Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair (If Lynch wins, she enters the WrestleMania Raw women's title match)
Now, let me be honest with you here, I am finding this Raw Women's championship storyline boring and predictable. We all know it's going to be a triple threat match. 

Becky has recently lacked a certain aura about her character, notice how the crowds reaction has kind of dwindled over recent memory. Talk about overkill.

I liked the "suspension" angle they had for Lynch because it was kind of different until that lasted for about 10 minutes. WWE writers are lacking creativity (no pun intended) then again, what else is new?

"The Man" is winning here and the main event at 'Mania. 
Winner: Becky Lynch

WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kevin Owens
Rowan will play an important role in this match, paving the way for Bryan to remain champion, I wouldn't be surprised if Luke Harper or Sami Zayn returned here. 

Clear winner here: and STILL WWE champion: Daniel Bryan. 

So, there you go. Predictions are now in the archives as it were. Not really looking forward to watching it because it feels like a pointless pay-per-view. Let's see what happens.
