WWE is gearing up for an action-packed Fastlane event at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, promising an exciting night of wrestling entertainment. The card features high-profile matches and compelling storylines that have been brewing for months.
One of the most anticipated matchups is John Cena’s return to the ring after his last televised appearance at WrestleMania. He teams up with LA Knight to take on Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso of The Bloodline. This clash stems from previous confrontations between Knight and Cena, leading to their partnership against The Bloodline, who injured AJ Styles, altering Cena’s original tag partner plans.
Another headline tag team battle features Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso challenging Damian Priest and Finn Balor for the undisputed titles. Jey Uso’s departure from The Bloodline has caused a stir, but he has found support in Cody Rhodes. Their ongoing feud will finally reach its conclusion at Fastlane, with women’s champion Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio likely playing roles in the match.
The WWE women’s championship will be contested in a triple threat match as IYO SKY defends her title against Asuka and Charlotte Flair. SKY earned the championship by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract against Asuka at SummerSlam, and now she faces both challengers in a potentially explosive encounter.
Additionally, a tag team match is scheduled with LWO facing off against Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. This showdown promises to be competitive but favors the newly formed alliance of Lashley and The Street Profits.
CBS Sports experts have shared their predictions for these matches, offering valuable insights. They anticipate Seth Rollins retaining his World Heavyweight Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura, as Nakamura’s recent focus on Rollins’ injury doesn’t suggest an imminent title change.
In the Cena and LA Knight vs. The Bloodline encounter, the experts predict a victory for Cena and Knight, hinting at a potential future rivalry with Roman Reigns.
For the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match, The Judgment Day (Balor and Priest) are expected to retain their titles, with the possibility of Drew McIntyre intervening and costing Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso the victory.
In the WWE Women’s Championship match, Iyo Sky is favored to retain her title, as she brings freshness and excitement to the women’s division.
Lastly, in the Latino World Order vs. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits match, the experts anticipate a strong showing for Lashley and The Street Profits, given their recent partnership and potential for an engaging storyline.
WWE Fastlane promises to be an electrifying event with these high-stakes matches and intriguing storylines, and fans can watch it live on Peacock, with the kickoff show beginning one hour before the main event at 8 p.m. ET.
