WWE Fastlane 2016 Predictions: 5 things that could happen in the PPV

The new champ?

He has a habit of returning earlyWWE FastLane 2016 will be the last official pay-per-view stop of WWE before WrestleManiaThis sentence is more than enough to underline the importance of the show. And by booking a triple threat bout between Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Dean Ambrose, WWE made their intentions clear about the event.Fastlane 2016 could ride entirely on the hype of this match, but WWE could take the show to another level if they are willing to come up with some bold booking decisions. Such decisions worked like a charm for them in the Royal Rumble and it would do the same at Fastlane as well.From heel turns to huge returns, here are some of the bold predictions for WWE Fastlane 2016.

#5 Sasha Banks wins the Divas Championship

The new champ?

The entry of Sasha Banks into the Divas Championship scene was celebrated by the WWE Universe.

Her entry was nothing less than heroic, and this received some good acclaim from the crowd. A triple threat between Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte might be booked for WWE Fastlane 2016 and if so, Sasha going ahead and winning the title would be a great booking decision.

There are no arguments about whether Sasha deserves the championship or not. She is a top notch performer and if she goes into WrestleMania with the Divas title around her waist, it would be something special.

Or, WWE could save the moment for Mania and let her win there.

#4 Brothers reunite

Reunion on the cards?

Two random things happened in WWE last week.

First, Stardust produced a Tweet saying that the end of Stardust is here and second, Goldust started searching for a new tag team partner. So if we read between the lines, the possibility of Goldust and Stardust reuniting as a tag team is high.

And keeping the tweet of Stardust in mind, we could get to see the return of Cody Rhodes. The Cody Rhodes characters have been out of television for a long time and a return would be welcomed with a warm reception.

Their addition to the tag team division would be an interesting one as New Day is currently dominating the division.

#3 Dean Ambrose turns heel

A natural born heel

As mentioned earlier, the triple threat between Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar will be the highlight of Fastlane.

Apart from the fact that a chance to headline WrestleMania is at stakes, the subplots make the match more interesting. We are all aware of the brotherhood between Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns and if the relationship breaks down, it would create some positive buzz.

Ambrose is someone that excels when he plays a heel character and if WWE lets him free at Fastlane, then WWE will have a solid angle heading into WrestleMania. Ambrose and Reigns could face off in a non-title match while a babyface Brock Lesnar could lock horns with the Authority.

#2 AJ Styles wins a midcard title

Unlike most of his counterparts, AJ Styles managed to get a direct entry into the main roster without spending time in NXT.

Now, it is yet to be seen whether this will be a good decision or not, but from what we saw at Raw and SmackDown, AJ has adapted pretty well in the WWE atmosphere.

The next step for him would obviously be winning a WWE championship. Now, expecting AJ to win the WWE championship all of a sudden wouldn’t be a healthy one. However, he would fit in perfectly as a mid-card champion for the time being.

AJ could win either the Intercontinental championship or the United States championship at Fastlane and then have a WWE championship feud by the time SummerSlam comes along.

#1 John Cena returns

Another miracle return

John Cena has been posting cryptic messages on his social media accounts as usual. According to the internet, he is back in the gym and if things go well, Cena could make an early return.

So what if he returns at WWE Fastlane? It would simply be spectacular.

Cena was after the United States championship when he got injured and if AJ Styles wins the US title at Fastlane 2016 and Cena returns, we could have a Cena vs. AJ Styles showdown for the title at WrestleMania.

It’s a match that most of us dreamt of for a long time and the surprise return of Cena would add more excitement to the whole thing.
