Fastlane was the final stop on the Road to WrestleMania and the pressure was definitely on. Whilst there were a number of titles on the line, the Champions were aware that they needed to overcome this last test if they had any hopes of walking into WrestleMania as Champions and the challengers stepped up their game for the same reason.
WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year so things are feeling tense in WWE right now, which is why there were a number of slip-ups at Fastlane in Cleveland, Ohio. The final pay-per-view is now in the rearview mirror and the focus turns to WrestleMania, but ahead of next month's show, here are some of the botches that many of the WWE Universe may have missed at Fastlane.
#3. Shinsuke Nakamura sold a kick that didn't land
Shinsuke Nakamura teamed up with his former rival Rusev to take on the team of Xavier Woods and Big E at Fastlane but The Artist and his new friend came up short in their quest to defeat The New Day.
Mid-way through the match, Xavier Woods looked to deliver a kick to the head of Nakamura whilst he was on the outside of the ring, standing on the apron but he was unable to make any contact since he instead hit the rope. Nakamura would have been aware that the kick didn't land and it was blatantly obvious that it didn't land but he still sold the move.
Later in the match, Woods looked to break up the pinfall to save Big E but before he was able to jump on the cover, his partner kicked out at two so it appeared that both men got their wires crossed.
#2. Mandy Rose vs Asuka
Mandy Rose faced off against The Empress of Tomorrow in the hopes that she could lift her first piece of gold on the main roster, but Rose was unable to overcome Asuka after Sonya Deville's help at ringside actually hindered her.
The ending of the match wasn't the only thing that looked botched as Rose managed to drop Asuka on her face after fighting out of The Octopus submission before Asuka missed a roundhouse kick which was in the center of the ring and hard to miss on the hard cam.
The end of the match then saw Rose trip over the ring apron which Deville had left up, but the issue was that she hadn't left it up far enough so Rose had to push herself backward and then force herself to trip on something that wasn't actually in her way.
#1. Tamina isn't on the same level as Bayley and Sasha Banks
The Women's Tag Team Championships were defended for the first time at Fastlane on Sunday night as Bayley and Sasha Banks were able to overcome the threat of Nia Jax and Tamina. It was a rough match for the Champions who were both on the business end of interesting botches from their challengers as Nia Jax almost dropped Sasha Banks on her head and Tamina forgot one of her spots with Bayley.
The match later saw Beth Phoenix involve herself in the action when Jax and Tamina dominated the Champions and she decided it was wrong, but Jax and Tamina weren't finished there as they attacked the WWE Hall of Famer and her longtime friend to set up a huge WrestleMania bout between the two of the most dominant female tag teams in WWE history.
