WWE Fastlane 2019: 4 incredible statistics coming out of the show 

Fastlane has now come and gone and whilst there are a number of seeds currently being watered ahead of next month's WrestleMania, Fastlane could also be seen as a stand-alone event of its own.

Fastlane saw some interesting Championship matches, as well as the end to one of SmackDown Live's most interesting partnerships. Whilst the show itself will only be remembered for the fact that it was a feeder for WrestleMania 35, it was also a night that saw a number of interesting statistics come through.

The following article looks at some of the most interesting statistics coming out of the show since Fastlane was just the fifth incarnation of the event in history but also one of the most intense outings for WWE in 2019 as well.

#4. Cesaro and Sheamus connection

Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Kofi Kingston last night at Fastlane

Sheamus and Cesaro were part of last night's Fastlane event, despite the fact that they weren't actually supposed to be, the two men came out to take on Kofi Kingston in an impromptu handicap match where they were able to have the shortest match of the night in less than two minutes.

Kingston is a former United States Champion and believed that he was being part of the WWE Championship match before he was told that he would instead face The Bar. This match means that Sheamus and Cesaro have wrestled each other or as a team on pay-per-view every year since 2014.

Sheamus and Cesaro are two of the top stars in the company and even though they have been pushed into the tag team division over the past few months, they are still waiting for the nod to head back into the main event picture on SmackDown Live.

#3. Sasha Banks' first ever successful title defense

Sasha Banks and Bayley were victorious last night at Fastlane

Sasha Banks has become one of the most popular female wrestlers in WWE over the past few years, but even though Banks has held numerous Championships on the main roster throughout her career, The Boss has never been able to successfully defend a title.

It became well known that Banks was always losing her title as part of the next show she defended it at, but last night at Fastlane she was finally able to break this hoodoo when Bayley pinned Nia Jax off a roll up so that The Boss 'n' Hug Connection could head into WrestleMania as Champions.

Banks and Bayley are expected to have a lengthy reign with the titles in the coming months, which means that Sasha will be happy to have that monkey off her back ahead of the biggest event of the year.

#2. Roman Reigns takes the Fastlane main event

Roman Reigns and The Shield were victorious at last night's Fastlane

Roman Reigns and The Shield main evented last night's Fastlane in his final match with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, which means that Reigns is now the first WWE superstar to main event three Fastlane pay-per-views.

Reigns main evented Fastlane in 2015 against Daniel Bryan and 2016 against Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar, whilst Kevin Owens main evented the show in 2017 in a Universal Championship match against Goldberg before he was part of last year's WWE Championship match.

Owens wasn't the man who was chosen to main event last night's show, which means that Reigns has now made history, the former World Champion also has a 4-0 record at Fastlane right now, which is the best record of any superstar who has been part of the show over the past five years.

#1. Rusev makes history

Rusev made history last night at Fastlane when he tallied up his 17th consecutive loss

Rusev teamed with Shinsuke Nakamura against Big E and Xavier Woods as part of last night's kick off show, but once again The Bulgarian Brute came up short. This loss has become a huge one for Rusev since he has now equaled history with the longest losing streak in pay-per-view history with 17 consecutive losses.

The Great Khali originally held the record, but Rusev and the former World Champion are now co-holders but if Rusev doesn't win his next match either at WrestleMania or in the coming months on pay-per-view then he will be the holder of one of the biggest records in WWE that no superstar actually wants.

This loss has left both Rusev and Nakamura without a storyline heading into WrestleMania, which doesn't bode well for the former United States Champion.
