Fastlane 2019: 5 crazy things WWE hinted at during the PPV

Fastlane - some might see it as the throwaway pay per view before WrestleMania 35, but it proved to be so much more than then this time around! Of course, a lot of that has to do with The last ride of The Shield, KofiMania running wild right now, and Becky Lynch versus Charlotte, but WWE also did a great job of making the undercard matter in the process.

Beyond that, WWE threw a lot of curve balls during Fastlane, which only made the events more interesting to watch as they unfolded. If nothing else, it was a night of chills and thrills, but it was also a night that set the stage perfectly for what is to come at WrestleMania 35.

With that being said and Fastlane finally in the books, here are five things the company hinted at during the high octane pay per view. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think WWE was hinting at during the pay per view.

#5 The Shield reunion not being over

The WWE can't end it like this, can they?

While Dean Ambrose leaving the WWE in the coming months is pretty much a given, especially with his lacklustre run with the company over the past year or so, what's to stop the company from milking this for all its worth? The fans certainly still seem into it, its a great stop gap until WrestleMania 35 comes around and it gives WWE a chance to finally pass the torch.

Think about it! Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley losing was not how things should have gone and the company will most likely correct it by giving the new duo a victory over The Shield. At least that way, someone can benefit from The Shield's final run with the company and it could be a big moment for the careers of McIntyre, Lashley and Corbin by defeating the best faction of the last decade.

#4 WWE using public pressure to make Dean Ambrose stay

Is WWE pressuring Dean Ambrose to stay?

That's the way it seems after Michael Cole explained to the WWE Universe that the reason this is The Shield's last ride is due to the fact that Ambrose is refusing to sign a new contract with the company, which could be a great bargaining tool if used right. Maybe it could even be what ultimately keeps Ambrose with WWE if the company plays its cards right.

Let's be honest here. WWE announcing this puts a lot of pressure on Dean Ambrose to re-sign also puts the fans into the conversation in the process. If nothing else, this was the company's way of putting everything on Dean Ambrose and making sure the fans know that he is the one that will have to make the decision.

In the end, it's a bold move that blurs the line between fiction and reality, but could also be effective in keeping Ambrose with WWE. If not, however, WWE loses nothing with this move in the process and are at least giving Ambrose one last great ride before he exits the company for good after WrestleMania 35.

#3 Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose breakup

Are Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville heading for a breakup?

Believe it or not, the alliance between Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville has finally shown some cracks and while WWE probably won't break up the team all at once, they at least hinted at it during the Fastlane pay per view. With that being said and WrestleMania 35 right around the corner, it also seems like a match between the two is on the horizon as well.

Of course, it's probably not the outcome Vince McMahon originally wanted for Mandy Rose, especially since he has been very high on her over the past couple of months, but McMahon was smart to finally pump the brakes on the 'Mandy Rose project' at Fastlane. In fact, in doing so, Vince McMahon and the WWE might have laid the groundwork for both Rose and Sonya Deville to go after the Women's title at WrestleMania 35.

Think about it! All WWE would have to do is have Rose turn on Deville in the next couple of weeks, then put Rose back in the title picture against Asuka, but have Deville rob Rose of another victory. After all that, the three can face off at WrestleMania 35 and Rose can win the title while Asuka is protected by not taking the pin.

#2 The Miz being inserted into The WWE title picture

Will The Miz compete for the WWE title at WrestleMania 35?

Maybe it was just how disappointed the hometown crowd was after watching The Miz take a beating at the hands of Shane McMahon, but everything seems to be falling in place for The A-Lister to be inserted into the WWE title picture. In fact, it would almost be a crime not to do it at this point.

Not only is that evident by how much The Miz has been connecting with the crowd lately, but also by how deserving The Miz is of the WrestleMania moment that seems to be just waiting for him. If nothing else, WWE has only two real roads to follow here when it comes to Miz and it either leads to a match with Shane McMahon or a match against Daniel Bryan.

In the end, Bryan versus Miz was supposedly the original option when Daniel Bryan turned heel earlier last year, but some believe the company has since changed their mind. Whether that's the case or not remains to be seen and will depend on how into The Miz WWE is, but it would certainly be a great story.

#1 Multi person match for The WWE title at WM 35

Will Kofi Kingston be added to The WWE title picture at WrestleMania 35 as well?

Does anyone else think the WWE title picture is getting a little crowded?

Of course, that's not a bad thing, especially after the great match Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens and Mustafa Ali put on at Fastlane, but it looks like this is WWE's way of hinting at a multi-man match at WrestleMania 35. Furthermore, it looks like everyone from Kofi Kingston to The Miz could be added to this star-studded match before all is said in done.

In all honesty, WWE seems to have no other choice after seeing how much the crowd is behind Kofi Kingston right now and the same could be said for The Miz as well. In fact, they seem to have so much momentum and hype in their favor right now that they could seriously be the feel-good story that the WWE is looking for at the end of The WWE title match at Mania.

In the end, having a multi-person match is best for business in countless ways. Not only does it create a lot of excitement around the title picture heading into WrestleMania 35, it also gives a lot of deserving superstars a chance to finally have that crowning moment that they have wanted for a long time.
