5 best Fastlane matches in WWE history

#4 Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns (Fastlane 2016)

The Fastlane 2016 main event had major WrestleMania 32 ramifications

As is the case with many Fastlane main events, the triple threat match between Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose at Fastlane 2016 had a significant impact on the subsequent WrestleMania card.

Late in 2015 and early in 2016, Reigns was in the midst of an ongoing rivalry with Triple H and the McMahons. Tensions between the two sides reached a boiling point at the 2016 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The WWE Chairman had ordered Roman Reigns to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Royal Rumble Match as the number one entrant.

To ensure Reigns' defeat, Triple H entered the battle royal as the final entrant. After he eliminated Reigns and Ambrose, The Game won the match and claimed his 14th WWE world championship.
