This Sunday, WWE will present the fifth annual Faslane PPV from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland Ohio.

The card is stacked with 7 matches scheduled to happen on the main show. While the buildup to the show may have lacked some intrigue, the matches will still deliver.

The Shield will probably team up for the final time to take on Drew Mcintyre, Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin. The WWE champion, Daniel Bryan, will defend his title against Kevin Owens, and the Man, Becky Lynch, will take on Charlotte Flair to earn a spot at the 35th anniversary of WrestleMania.

Since Fastlane is the final pay-per-view before the biggest event of the year, WWE could be planning some shocking things to invigorate interest heading into the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Here are the 3 biggest Shockers WWE could be planning for the Fastlane PPV.


#3: Sami Zayn returns and costs Kevin Owens the WWE title

Kevin Owens made his return to the WWE programming a few weeks ago and was immediately inserted in the WWE title picture.

Vince McMahon replaced him with Kofi Kingston for the sake of the box office, and now he is ready to face the planet champion, Daniel Bryan. While I agree that Owens vs Bryan is a bigger match, but Kingston's removal from the PPV left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now, Kevin Owens won't defeat Daniel Bryan, but I don't think he will lose clean either. The WWE needs to find a way to sort this matter, and having someone interfere and make the WWE champion, Daniel Bryan, to retain his championship could be the best possible option.

While having someone like Eric Rowan interfere in the match would sound repetitive, choosing Kevin Owens' best friend Sami Zayn to do the dirty work will be a thing of beauty.

Sami Zayn has been out with a shoulder injury for a couple of months, and WWE was advertising his return to television a few weeks ago.

It's apparent that once Sami Zayn returns, he'll be reuniting with Kevin Owens, but this time I expect WWE to pull out a swerve and have him betray his long-time friend in a shocking fashion.

Since Sami Zayn has been vocal about the return of Daniel Bryan and his match with Kofi Kingston reinvigorating his interest in wrestling, joining Bryan's side could not be more perfect.

#2: Ronda Rousey goes berserk

Becky Lynch will face her toughest challenge yet at Fastlane when she goes one-on-one with the Queen, Charlotte Flair, to earn a spot at the Women's title match at WrestleMania 35.

Even though Lynch won the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble match, her brash attitude cost her the championship opportunity at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Lynch causing mayhem on Raw and SmackDown may have earned her a shot at Ronda Rousey, but it also set Rousey off, forcing her to join the dark side.

With Rousey's recent heel turn, I don't think she will sit back on her couch, enjoying the fight between the two women she hates the most. From the storyline point of view, it makes sense that Ronda Rousey interferes in the title match to put both Flair and Becky out of their misery.

It will make Ronda Rousey look like a legitimate threat she should have been from day one, and it will also increase the interest of the general audience heading into the Road to WrestleMania.

#1: Seth Rollins gets attacked by Brock Lesnar, is replaced by Braun Strowman

What a month this has been for WWE. The Big Dog, Roman Reigns, made his historic return to Monday Night Raw and announced that he was cleared to compete on the weekly programming.

In another great news, Dean Ambrose reunited with his brothers and will now join forces with them to take on the heel trio of Corbin, Lashley, and McIntyre.

While Ambrose and Reigns have nothing yet planned for WrestleMania, Seth Rollins is scheduled to face the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

The only real altercation these two had with each other was the post-Royal Rumble Raw where Lesnar put Rollins down with 6 F5's. Since then, there has been no prior buildup to the feud, and now this match feels like an afterthought.

WWE needs to do something to revoke the interest of the fans and what better way to do it than planning something big at the Fastlane PPV?

The event could see Lesnar taking out Rollins before his match as it will add the much-needed heat to the match and give the fans, something to keep an eye on.

But that will leave a spot vacant in The Shield? Enter Braun Strowman. After all, this all screams for the inclusion of Braun Strowman since he lost a month of his career because of an injury caused by the heel stable.
