WWE Fastlane: 10 Takeaways from the pay-per-view

#7 Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev are not done with the New Day

Big E slams Shinsuke Nakamura at Fastlane.

On the Fastlane Kickoff Show, the WWE put on a special attraction match between the newly formed tandem of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura and the New Day's Xavier Woods and Big E Langston.

The match, despite limited build up, was generally well received by the Fastlane crowd. The match built up momentum slowly until a flurry of near falls toward the end raised the fervour into a fever pitch.

The New Day defeated Rusev and Nakamura after hitting a tandem Up Up Down Down, despite interference by Lana. Probably most people figured that would be the end of things, but then Nakamura and Rusev attacked the New Day members later in the show.

This, of course, sets up a feud between the four men, which might just culminate at Wrestlemania 35.
