We are less than 24 hours away from WWE Fastlane 2021, the final pay-per-view on the Road to WrestleMania 37. With the show taking place just three weeks before WrestleMania 37, all eyes are on the outcomes of the matches and how will it affect the match card of The Show of Shows next month.

As of the writing of this article, a total of seven matches have been announced for the show. This includes four championship matches, two singles matches, and an intriguing intergender match. There is uncertainty over another match that was originally announced for WWE Fastlane 2021 but has seemingly been pulled from the card.

To get you all ready for the event, here are the top last-minute rumors for WWE Fastlane 2021 that could end up having a major impact on the show tonight. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts and predictions for the pay-per-view.


#5 The Fiend to finally return at WWE Fastlane 2021

Intergender matches happen very rarely in WWE, but at WWE Fastlane 2021, Alexa Bliss is set to take on Randy Orton in what is sure to be a match full of surprises and horrors.

It was at WWE TLC 2020 where Orton burned 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt in the middle of the ring and thought that he had gotten rid of him. However, Bliss made sure to make Orton's life a hell on Monday Night RAW in her own demented way.

The Fiend hasn't been seen on WWE TV for three months now, but as per the rumors (via CSS), he will finally be returning at WWE Fastlane 2021.

The heavy speculation going around is that Bray Wyatt will finally make his return at Fastlane this coming Sunday night.

What would happen if The Fiend returns tonight? How could he impact the match between Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton?

#4 Uncertainty over major WWE Fastlane match

Last Monday, WWE announced that Braun Strowman will be going one-on-one against Shane McMahon at WWE Fastlane 2021. The announcement came as a surprise as fans were expecting these two to collide at WrestleMania 37.

However, there is a lot of uncertainty around this match. The match has officially been removed from the WWE Fastlane preview on WWE.com, leading to speculations that it has been pulled from the show. However, during this week's SmackDown, the graphic of this match was shown, leading to some massive confusion. It is to be seen whether this match actually takes place tonight at WWE Fastlane 2021 or not.


#3 RETRIBUTION to break up at WWE Fastlane?

RETRIBUTION's T-BAR's recent Twitter activities have caught the attention of fans. T-BAR is known for being super-active on Twitter, whether he constantly gets into interactions, or arguments, with fans as well as other wrestling personalities. T-BAR has now changed his Twitter handle to 'Don't Blink', unfollowed all other members of his faction, and liked some rather interesting tweets hinting at breaking-up from RETRIBUTION.

At WWE Fastlane 2021, the leader of RETRIBUTION Mustafa Ali is set to challenge United States Champion Riddle for his title. When these two collided on RAW last week, Ali lost the match after an unintentional distraction by T-BAR. With that and T-BAR's recent changes to his Twitter account, could we be in for a massive betrayal with T-BAR costing Ali his title match and leaving RETRIBUTION at WWE Fastlane?

#2 Spoiler on the main event of WWE Fastlane 2021

WWE Fastlane 2021 will feature Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title against Daniel Bryan. The match has become much more interesting with the addition of Edge as the special guest enforcer. Considering the tension between Edge and Bryan and their recent interactions, there are speculations that the planned Reigns vs. Edge WrestleMania 37 match might change to a triple threat with the addition of Bryan.

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that while anything is possible, the plan as of a few days ago was for Roman Reigns and Edge to have a singles match at WrestleMania 37.

"Anything's possible but I did ask about that and that was a no a week ago. Not even a week ago, early mid-week."

This could be a massive spoiler that Daniel Bryan will be losing the Universal Championship match at WWE Fastlane tonight.


#1 Could Jimmy Uso return at WWE Fastlane?

Roman Reigns' entire 'Tribal Chief' and 'Head of the Table' gimmick has revolved around his family. While Jey Uso has become his right-hand man on WWE TV, the same is not true for Jimmy Uso. It was at WWE Hell in a Cell 2020 where Jimmy last appeared to save his brother Jey but ended up becoming a victim of Reigns. He has been off TV since then, healing from an injury.

The recent rumors (via CSS) suggest that Jimmy Uso could be returning to the ring any day now.

"Paul Heyman mentioned Jimmy Uso returning to WWE recently and the word is he’s poised to come back to television any day now."

With that in mind, can we see Jimmy Uso return at WWE Fastlane? If he does, will he go up against The Tribal Chief or join them, making the faction even stronger? Comment down and let us know your thoughts on this.
