We are less than four days away from WWE Fastlane 2021, which is set to take place this Sunday on March 21, 2021. The show will be the final pay-per-view before WrestleMania 37, taking place just three weeks before The Show of Shows.
Five matches have been officially announced to take place at WWE Fastlane 2021 so far, but WWE is expected to add a couple more at the last minute, possibly on this week's episode of SmackDown. It goes without saying, the matches this Sunday could drastically change the match card for WrestleMania 37.
Let's take a look at five bold predictions for WWE Fastlane 2021. Comment down and let us know your thoughts and opinions on the same.
#5 Edge accidentally costs Daniel Bryan his match at WWE Fastlane 2021
In what would likely be the main event of WWE Fastlane 2021 this Sunday, Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be defending his title against Daniel Bryan. However, this is not going to be a straight-up singles match. On the SmackDown before the pay-per-view, Edge will be going one-on-one against Jey Uso with the winner of the match becoming the special guest enforcer for the Universal Championship match at WWE Fastlane 2021.
WWE has already announced the 2021 Royal Rumble winner Edge taking on Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37. However, there have been some intriguing segments and interactions between Edge and Daniel Bryan on SmackDown in the last few weeks. There are clear tensions between the two babyfaces and that could just be a hint of a massive change in the WrestleMania match card.
The first bold prediction for WWE Fastlane 2021 is that Edge, who will defeat Jey Uso and become the special guest enforcer, would accidentally end up costing Daniel Bryan his match at the pay-per-view. This can either lead to Daniel Bryan getting added to the WrestleMania 37 Universal Championship match making it a triple threat, or this could be used to set up a future singles feud between Daniel Bryan and Edge.
#4 Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair win the Women's tag team titles at WWE Fastlane 2021
WWE Fastlane 2021 will feature the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defending their titles against SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks and the winner of the 2021 Royal Rumble match Bianca Belair. This will be a rematch from WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 that saw Reginald costing Banks and Belair the match accidentally.
Now, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair are set to face each other at WrestleMania 37 for the SmackDown Women's title. With WWE Fastlane 2021 taking place just three weeks before that, the general feeling is that Banks and Belair would somehow lose the match again and possibly even get into a heated confrontation post that.
The second bold prediction for WWE Fastlane 2021 is that Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair will end up becoming the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions this Sunday. This could lead to intriguing dynamics into their WrestleMania showdown with them first defending their tag team titles in possibly a multi-team match and then facing each other for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
#3 Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax finally split up at WWE Fastlane 2021
Continuing from the last point, losing their Women's Tag Team Championships at WWE Fastlane 2021 could finally lead to Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax splitting up. It's been several months since the two have been teaming together and it's probably about time for them to go their separate ways.
Both of them also have a separate singles angle that would ensure they are not lost in the mix after splitting up. Nia Jax has formed a strange alliance (or love angle?) that could lead to Reginald becoming the on-screen manager of Jax. As for Baszler, there are chances that she could end up entering the RAW Women's Championship scene post-WWE Fastlane 2021, especially after the intriguing interactions between her and Asuka on Monday Night RAW recently.
We might be in for a multi-women match for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37. Charlotte Flair has already revealed her intentions to come after Asuka's title and we've also seen other women unhappy with The Queen taking up all the spotlight. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Peyton Royce at WrestleMania 37?
#2 Drew McIntyre wins at WWE Fastlane 2021 and reveals a massive stipulation for his WrestleMania match against Bobby Lashley
WWE Fastlane 2021 will feature the former best friends Sheamus and Drew McIntyre taking on each other. If their previous encounters on Monday Night RAW were anything to go by, fans can expect a fierce battle between these two at WWE Fastlane 2021.
Surprisingly, WWE has already announced that Drew McIntyre will be challenging Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37 next month. Earlier rumors suggested that this match at WWE Fastlane between McIntyre and Sheamus would determine Lashley's WrestleMania challenger. However, with the match already announced, there's close to zero chance that the result of this match would be anything other than Drew McIntyre winning.
The next bold prediction for WWE Fastlane 2021 is that Drew McIntyre will end up revealing a massive stipulation for his WrestleMania 37 clash against Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship. With fans set to return at The Show of Shows, a No Disqualification or even a 'Three Stages of Hell' match could add a lot more hype around this highly-anticipated showdown.
#1 The Fiend appears in a new form at WWE Fastlane 2021
Hands down, the most intriguing match set to take place this Sunday at WWE Fastlane 2021 is the intergender match between Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss. An intergender match in WWE is very rare these days and that too between one of the biggest stars of the men's division against one of the biggest stars of the women's division.
For the past several weeks on Monday Night RAW, Alexa Bliss has been unleashing horrors upon Randy Orton. What Orton did to 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt at WWE TLC 2020 has deeply affected Bliss with her going as far as to use black magic to bring The Fiend back.
It's been months since we last saw The Fiend but that wait might finally come to an end at WWE Fastlane 2021. This storyline has been spooky so far but The Fiend might take things to another level this Sunday by appearing with a new look, possibly an even scarier burned mask. Alexa Bliss vs. Randy Orton at WWE Fastlane 2021 is definitely a must-watch.
