WWE Fastlane will be held this Sunday. It's the final chapter on the road to the Showcase of Immortals, WrestleMania 37. The outcome of each match is significant as it will impact the storylines and feuds heading into WrestleMania 37.
The build-up has been fairly decent, with five matches currently confirmed for the event. The Universal, Intercontinental, and Women's Tag Team Championships will all be defended at the PPV.
At WWE Fastlane, new champions could be crowned and new feuds could get ignited to set up matches for WrestleMania 37. As the clock ticks down to the start of the show, higher authority figures could make new plans for the PPV at short notice.
Here are five last-minute changes that could happen at WWE Fastlane.
#5 A new match is added at WWE Fastlane
WWE could add a new match at Fastlane by putting the United States Championship on the line between Riddle and Mustafa Ali. On Monday Night RAW, the two Superstars battled it out for the title, and it looked like Mustafa Ali was going to capture the title, only for him to suffer a loss due to a distraction by T-BAR.
At WWE Fastlane, Mustafa Ali could get another shot at the US Championship by battling Riddle without RETRIBUTION at ringside. This will let him focus his attention on the match.
Both superstars aren't scheduled for a match at WWE Fastlane currently, so it would be great if they collide with each other one more time. After putting on a good show on RAW, they could definitely have another great match on Sunday night.
#4 New stipulation added to Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus at WWE Fastlane
Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has been feuding with his former best friend Sheamus for the past several weeks. The two superstars were involved in an all-out brawl on Raw last week which ended without a decisive winner.
The Celtic Warrior and Scottish Psychopath will collide once again at WWE Fastlane. It was initially scheduled to be a normal match, but is now declared a No-Holds Barred match to make it more interesting. After their No Disqualification match on RAW, they need to have a blow-off match at WWE Fastlane that results in a decisive winner.
The No-Holds Barred match means both superstars will take each other to the limit and beyond. If Drew McIntyre wins, it will make him look strong going into his WWE Championship match with Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 37.
#3 New Women's Tag Team Champions at WWE Fastlane
Despite being opponents at WrestleMania 37, WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks and the EST of WWE Bianca Belair will team up to challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the Women's Tag Team Championship at WWE Fastlane.
Banks and Belair challenged Jax and Baszler for the title at Elimination Chamber, but were unsuccessful in their attempt. At WWE Fastlane, it's possible that they could shock the world by turning the tide.
This will make them the second Tag Team Champions in WWE to collide for a top title at WrestleMania. Sasha Banks could become 2BeltzBanks once again. Meanwhile, Bianca Belair could become a double champion at WrestleMania if she defeats The Boss to win the SmackDown Women's Championship.
If they do win the tag titles at WWE Fastlane, then there's a chance that Banks and Belair will pull off double duty at WrestleMania by defending their tag titles before facing each other in the main event.
#2 Apollo Crews wins at WWE Fastlane
Former WWE United States Champion Apollo Crews could soon add the Intercontinental Championship to his list of accomplishments following his match with Big E at WWE Fastlane for the prestigious title.
Apollo Crews recently introduced the world to his new character, which garnered attention from many people including Nigeria's Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad.
Apollo Crew's new character and heel turn makes him unique from other wrestlers on the show. Now that he's a heel, he doesn't have to abide by the rules or try to win a match fair and square.
As a bad guy, he could use many methods to defeat Big E at WWE Fastlane to capture the Intercontinental Championship. He could hit the latter with a low blow or use an illegal weapon to score the pinfall.
Apollo Crews is a talented performer. He could even shock the fans by beating Big E clean. Then, perhaps, we could see a rematch between the two stars on a larger stage at WrestleMania.
#1 The Fiend returns at WWE Fastlane
At WWE Fastlane, Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton will wrestle against each other for the first time ever in an intergender match. The two superstars have been involved in a bizarre storyline that has extended for months now.
The Fiend has also had a hand in it, but he was last seen "alive" at WWE TLC in December 2020. There is, however, a strong possibility that he will return this Sunday at WWE Fastlane.
WWE has been teasing his return for a while now. If that has to happen soon, there's no better time than this Sunday during the Alexa Bliss-Randy Orton match.
It's unlikely that WWE will book Bliss and The Viper to actually fight each other in a competitive contest. Alexa Bliss is a big star, so putting her in the ring against a sadistic animal like Randy Orton is a horrible decision.
It's evident that Randy Orton vs. The Fiend will happen at WrestleMania 37, so at WWE Fastlane we could get a preview of the bout.
