WWE Fastlane | Review

This is your Fastlane review, a lot to talk about here so let's get to it.

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

Winners: Big E & Xavier Woods.

Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade (Kickoff Show) 

This match was changed to a fatal four way for the US title. More on that later on in this review.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon

A really good tag team match to start off the show, the collision in mid air between Shane and Jey Uso was well done. Miz cost his team the match by trying to impress his dad at ringside and failed, getting rolled up as the Usos prevailed victorious. 

Winners: and STILL SmackDown tag team Champions: The Usos. 

We knew this team wasn't going to last and someone was turning heel, I thought all along it was going to be Miz but it was Shane who was the heel. 

Just what we need, another heel authority figure (sarcasm) there's your Wrestlemania match folks! 

SmackDown Women's Championship: Asuka (c) vs. Mandy Rose

A competitive match, Rose tripped over the ring apron after Deville was looking for something under the ring. Nothing else to say here so let's move on.

Winner and STILL SmackDown Women's Champion: Asuka. 

Backstage, the New Day went into Vince's office and demanded Kofi be added to the WWE title match, McMahon agreed and the match was set and up next. 

Triple threat WWE Title match 

(Match change) 

Handicap Match

Kofi Kingston vs. The Bar 

Not so fast! Kofi had a match but instead it was a handicap match against the Bar. Woods and Big E ran out in an attempt to support Kingston but their efforts were dented by Rusev and Nakamura. 

The Bar picked up the victory. Could we see a new League of Nations faction formed consisting of The Bar, Rusev and Nakamura? It was a bad group before, we don't need to see that again. 

Winners: The Bar.

Raw Tag Team Championship: The Revival (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable

A match I was really looking forward to, didn't disappoint, there were many moments for the highlight reel. The Revival picked up the win via the Shatter Machine.

Winners and STILL RAW tag team champions: The Revival.

Fatal Four way match for the US Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade vs. R-Truth 

Fun match, Samoa Joe remains champion, there was no way he was losing as he recently won the title on SmackDown. 

Winner: Samoa Joe.

Women's Tag Team Championship: Sasha Banks & Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina

Beth Phoenix joined the commentary team for this one. 

Winners: Sasha Banks and Bayley.

After the match, the challengers took out the champions, Phoenix attempted to put a stop to the attack, she was then taken out and so was Natalya as she ran out to try and save the Hall of Famer. 

On to the next match we go!

WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kevin Owens vs. Mustafa Ali

This was originally scheduled as a one on one match, It was fun to watch, however, overshadowed by messy booking, Great performance by Ali here, it's a shame the crowd didn't give him the reaction he deserved. Recent injuries have derailed his momentum.  

Winner: and STILL WWE Champion: Daniel Bryan. 

Note: Kevin Owens wasn't pinned here, could he get another title opportunity? Let's see...

Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair (If Lynch wins, she enters the WrestleMania Raw women's title match)

Your typical face vs. heel match scenario here, what I mean by that is Becky sold her "injury" well, Charlotte was arrogant thinking she's already won, mocking Lynch in the process. 

While the figure 8 was applied by "The Queen" we saw Ronda Rousey run down, hit Becky, thus ensuring "The Man" won by DQ meaning she is headed to Wrestlemania for the RAW Women's championship to face Rousey and Flair respectively. 

Winner: Becky Lynch. 

Can we just skip past the main event of Wrestlemania already? We all know she's winning. 

Elias is in the ring for what feels like the 50th time on this pay-per-view, this time he gets interrupted by Lacey Evans who does the usual lame walk out and walk back to backstage. 

I know I've predicted Evans to face Asuka at 'Mania but she hasn't even had a match on the main roster yet! Talk about someone who's undeserving. 

If there's women's battle royal at Wrestlemania for a title shot for the SmackDown women's championship, then it's almost a lock she's winning. 

Elias then gets RKO'd by Orton (from outta nowehere, is this 2014 again?) Aj then hits Orton with the Phenomenal forearm to end this segment. 

The Shield vs. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley

This was billed as the last time ever we would see Seth, Dean and Roman together as the Shield. It was a vintage match with melee and chaos (hi Sanity!) 

Fantastic that we got to see two triple powerbombs, one to Drew on to the announce table, the other to Corbin for the win. 

Winners: The Shield. 

The show went off the air with the final visual of the event being the Shield fistbump. I was sensing an Ambrose heel turn as a prediction, I believe that time is upon on us on RAW tomorrow night. 

There has been a lot of talk that Ambrose is on his way out of WWE. Yeah, I don't see that at all, not when they've incorporated that in his storyline or whenever he appears on tv. 

That's it for the Fastlane review, catch you for the Raw and SmackDown review for the key moments that occur, probably won't be many to be fair. 

Thanks for reading.
