The WWE Universe has been abuzz with all the possibilities that can unfold this Sunday, at the WWE Fastlane 2019 PPV. While, many are considering it to be a mere filler PPV - an extended episode of RAW or SmackDown, the reality is that Fastlane could have a lot of excitement to offer.

Other than the high stakes match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair which gives Lynch an opportunity insert herself into the RAW Women's Championship match between Ronda Rousey and Flair at Wrestlemania 35, we will also witness the reunion of The Hounds of Justice once again.

The Shield will be facing the rag-tag trio of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin. And while it is safe to assume that The Shield will be the team that comes out with the victory, there are still a lot of surprising or unexpected things that may take place during the match itself:

Let us take a look at 3 such events, which might make The Shield's reunion match even more interesting:


#3 Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins fail to get along

To put it simply, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have had a rather complicated friendship over the years, with both Superstars having turned on the other converting their friendship into bitter rivalry.

Ever since Dean Ambrose viciously attacked Rollins the night Reigns had to leave WWE to battle Leukemia, the two Superstars had been embroiled in a blood feud. However, Roman Reigns managed both of them to get the band back together one more time at Fastlane.

It will be interesting to see what kind of dynamics both these Superstars will exhibit at Fastlane - will they get along or will they continue to squabble with each other during the match.

It would certainly be interesting storytelling if the two keep butting heads during the match but still end up picking up the victory.

Can Ambrose be trusted?

While it looked like the three "brothers" were back on the same page during RAW when The Shield fended off McIntyre, Corbin, and Lashley as a united front, the question remains - can Dean Ambrose be trusted after what he did?

During his feud with Seth Rollins, Ambrose had mentioned that he was no longer a part of The Shield and even went on to dump his Shield vest in a garbage bin after lighting it on fire.

He stated that it was, in fact, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins who had made him weak, and he would be better off without the two. Ironically though, this was hardly the case as Ambrose's singles run was nothing but a disaster and it has been this reunion with The Shield that has brought him back into prominence.

It is highly possible that The Lunatic Fringe has a change of mind mid-match and leaves the other two members of The Shield to fend for themselves against their opponents.

Will Ambrose remain a heel?
Will Ambrose remain a heel?

It has been reported that Ambrose will be leaving WWE once his contract with WWE is over in April. This means that Wrestlemania 35 will, in fact, be the last Wrestlemania for the former WWE Champion with the company. What could be a better final match for him than facing Roman Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All?

While we have seen feuds between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose as well as Rollins and Roman Reigns, there has never been a blood feud between The Big Dog and The Lunatic Fringe.

Even though the two have faced each other on multiple occasions, there has never been any animosity between the two, and what a way it would be to change all of that if Ambrose strikes when least expected.

Not only would Ambrose attacking Reigns cost The Shield their match, but will also set up a highly personal match for Wrestlemania 35.
