Best and Worst of WWE Fastlane 2018

#2 Worst: A face vs. face contest

Orton vs. Roode was a solid match, with no crowd support

Orton and Roode did no wrong, during their United States Championship match. Unfortunately, the crowd did not care. And no, it was not just because the feud stemmed from the 'Top 10 List'. It was because both men were babyfaces.

There were a lot of technically perfect spots during the course of the match. Because of the reason we've outlined, the crowd did not get into it. They even started chanting for Byron Saxton.

It's back to the drawing board for @REALBobbyRoode...but he DID just lay out @JinderMahal & @RandyOrton with a #GloriousDDT!#WWEFastlane pic.twitter.com/3SD76iRX4k

If there's any positive to be taken out of this match, it's that Bobby Roode showed some heelish tendencies towards the end of this match. Could we see a big heel turn down the line from the Glorious One?
