WWE Fastlane 2019: 4 unbelievable swerves that could shock the WWE Universe at Fastlane

A lot of people are describing Fastlane 2019 as a 'filler' PPV. But I've seen enough 'Roads to WrestleManias' to know that when it comes to the final big WWE show before 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' that we could be in store for some completely unexpected surprises.

On paper it's a particularly random PPV card, there's no Universal Title match, no Raw Women's Title Match, neither the Intercontinental Title or United States title are being defended either.

What we do have, though, are a handful of matches that have an intriguing element of mystery surrounding them. Why would WWE book the Shield vs Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin? Is Becky Lynch going to win her way back into the match with Ronda Rousey? Will Daniel Bryan keep hold of his WWE Title?

So, Fastlane may seem a little pointless now, but once the dust has settled and WWE have pulled out a potential of shocking swerves to help build towards WrestleMania we might finally understand what the point was. But what swerves might we see at Fastlane? Let's take a look!

#4. Ronda Rousey makes her presence felt

Ronda Rousey to put an end to the match between Charlotte and Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are going to go head to head one more time at Fastlane with Becky Lynch needing to topple her most prevalent adversary yet again in order to earn her way back into the match and make it a Triple Threat for the Raw Women's Title at WrestleMania.

However, with Ronda Rousey's recent heel turn and her return to the 'Baddest Bitch on the Planet' behaviour do we think that she'll sit back and let the two women she dislikes the most in the WWE, in Lynch and Flair, fight it out without getting involved? Of course not!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Flair and Lynch's latest one-on-one spectacle ends with Rousey hitting the ring and leaving both women down and out on the mat. This could still lead to Lynch being re-added to the 'Mania main event, but would also help sell Rousey as a legitimate and dangerous threat.

#3. Dean Ambrose turns on Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns

The Shield are back together for the fourth time after Roman Reigns' major announcement that his leukaemia is in remission. Everything is right with the world! But, what if Ambrose was just lying in wait for the perfect time to once again turn on his Shield brothers?

The perfect time, of course, being the Six-Man Tag-Team Match at Fastlane between Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns and the randomly formed heel group of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. WWE is teasing the reunion of the trio as "one last time" before Ambrose makes his exit from WWE. Only time will tell if Dean decides to finally stay or leave the company, but there's no doubt that the three superstars are sure to cross paths in future.

This major, yet perhaps not too unexpected, swerve would justify WWE's decision to add the match to the card in the first place, and build towards an intriguing match at WrestleMania.

#2. The Best Tag-Team In The World to violently split

Shane McMahon and The Miz to less-than-amicable split!

The Miz and Shane McMahon have a golden opportunity to make their father's proud and prove they do indeed live up to the moniker of the 'Best Tag-Team In The World' when they face The Usos in an attempt to regain the SmackDown Tag-Team Titles.

However with the Usos Vs. The Hardy Boys pencilled in for WrestleMania and a clear storyline brewing between Miz and Shane McMahon it seems obvious that not only will they lose, but that one of the Miz and Shane 'O Mac will turn on the other.

My money is on Shane McMahon turning on The Miz after Miz's father announces he's still proud of his son despite them failing in their attempt to regain the titles. An inevitable match at WrestleMania between the two should be the way going forward, which might be well received by the WWE Universe.

#1. Sami Zayn returns and gets involved in the WWE Title match

Will Sami Zayn finally be the one to betray Kevin Owens?

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are best friends so it seems obvious that when Sami Zayn returns that he'll reunite with Kevin Owens and the two will continue being the best of friends without a wrinkle coming up in their relationship.

Yeah right! Throughout Zayn and Owen's WWE tenure Owens has spent most of his time turning his back on Sami Zayn and brutally assaulting his fellow Canadian. That's why I fully expect Zayn to return at Fastlane and act like he's going to help Owens, but to suddenly turn on his 'friend' and side with Bryan and Rowan.

This would be a truly shocking moment, but not one without foundations. Zayn is outspoken on social media about Syria and other societal issues, so joining Bryan's 'Planet Brigade' would be true to character for him, as would finally being the one to turn on Owens first!
