5 bold predictions for WWE Fastlane 2017

Kevin Owens vs Goldberg is one of many star-studded matchups set to take place at WWE Fastlane

#4 Jack Gallagher becomes Cruiserweight Champion

Gentleman Jack Gallagher is looking to become the 5th different Cruiserweight champion at Fastlane

Jack Gallagher should not win the Cruiserweight title at Fastlane.

Although he’s popular, WWE would be smart to hold off on his eventual title victory for now. It will be a much more special moment if his journey to the championship involves more of an uphill climb as opposed to the brief buildup that has happened leading into Fastlane.

But that doesn’t mean Gallagher can’t come out on top this Sunday. Ill-advised title changes are nothing new to WWE who have shocked fans more than a few times over the years, whether it be for better or worse, and this feels like it could be one of those times.

Just take the aforementioned Women’s title for example.

Although it has changed hands via some incredible matches, it has probably changed hands a few too many times. Before the pattern was established, nobody would have expected Sasha Banks to win the belt on Raw three times or Charlotte to do so on PPV three times.

With Gallagher, WWE knows they’ve finally developed a decent babyface in the Cruiserweight division and that could prompt them to put the title on him. And although Neville is more suited to carry the division, he could easily just win the title back at WrestleMania 33.

So we’re going out on a limb and saying Gallagher comes out on top at Fastlane.
