We are less than 48 hours away from WWE Fastlane, the final pay-per-view on the Road to WrestleMania 37. The results of the show will surely affect the match card of WrestleMania 37, which is set to take place on April 10 and April 11, 2021 - just three weeks after WWE Fastlane.
As of the writing of this article, a total of eight matches have been announced for WWE Fastlane, including four championship matches and one intergender match between Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton. The Road to WrestleMania could spice up a lot more this Sunday with some massive heel and face turns.
Let's take a look at four heel turns and one face turn that could happen at WWE Fastlane 2021. Comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same as well as your predictions for the pay-per-view.
#4 Sasha Banks turns heel and destroys Bianca Belair at WWE Fastlane 2021
WWE Fastlane 2021 will feature the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defending their titles against SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks and the winner of the 2021 women's Royal Rumble match Bianca Belair.
The match-up is indeed pretty strange as Banks and Belair are set to take on each other at WrestleMania 37, possibly in the main event of Night One of the show. Both superstars are currently the two biggest babyfaces in the women's division of SmackDown, but that could change this Sunday with Banks turning heel and taking out Belair.
While not completely impossible, it is unlikely that Banks and Belair will win the WWE Women's tag team titles at WWE Fastlane 2021. The finish of the match could see some miscommunication between the two, leading to them losing the match. Ultimately, Sasha Banks could lose her patience and attack Bianca Belair - claiming that she isn't on the level of The Boss. This could add some interesting dynamics to their match at WrestleMania 37.
#3 Murphy again turns heel by helping Seth Rollins at WWE Fastlane 2021
As announced on this week's SmackDown, Seth Rollins will go one-on-one against Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Fastlane 2021. The Messiah has been feuding with Cesaro on SmackDown since returning to WWE earlier this year.
This week on SmackDown, Nakamura confronted Rollins and went on to deliver a Kinshasa to him. The two have had some amazing matches against each other in the past and one can expect the same this Sunday as well. Only this time, the dynamics are different with Rollins as the heel and Nakamura as the face.
A couple of weeks ago, we saw the return of Seth Rollins' former disciple Murphy to SmackDown, who offered to help The Messiah, teasing the two reuniting again. While Rollins denied his help then, Murphy could help him win his match against Nakamura at WWE Fastlane 2021, turning heel once again.
This could lead to Cesaro coming out to make the save, ultimately setting up a WrestleMania match against Seth Rollins, who will have Murphy in his corner. As much as fans don't want to see Rollins and Murphy team up again, the signs point towards that.
#2 Asuka turns heel and bashes the entire RAW Women's division at WWE Fastlane 2021
RAW Women's Champion Asuka isn't scheduled to compete at WWE Fastlane 2021 this Sunday. However, she might appear in a backstage segment, bashing the entire women's division of Monday Night RAW, proclaiming herself to be superior to everyone, and turning heel.
Asuka has been the RAW Women's Champion for a long time and while she is an amazing wrestler, her title reign hasn't been all that memorable. Something about her being a babyface isn't clicking and fans want the unstoppable and fierce version of Asuka back, the one with which she ruled the women's division of NXT during her early days with WWE.
This past week on Monday Night RAW, Asuka teased turning heel and that could happen this Sunday at WWE Fastlane 2021. The RAW Women's Championship scene heading into WrestleMania 37 is full of chaos with multiple superstars wanting to face Asuka at the mega event.
Following Asuka turning heel at WWE Fastlane and bashing the entire women's division, we might witness a multi-women match for the RAW Women's title at WrestleMania 37. This could include the likes of Charlotte Flair, Peyton Royce, Shayna Baszler, and even the newest acquisition of RAW, Rhea Ripley.
#1 Sheamus turns face after taking Drew McIntyre to the limit at WWE Fastlane 2021
WWE Fastlane 2021 will feature former best friends Drew McIntyre and Sheamus going one-on-one against each other. To make things more interesting, WWE has announced that the two will compete in a No Holds Barred match. Considering their previous encounters, this has the potential to be the match of the night at WWE Fastlane 2021.
Now, it has already been announced that Drew McIntyre will be challenging WWE Champion Bobby Lashley for his title at WrestleMania 37. However, there are speculations that Sheamus might be added to the match to make it a triple threat. But for that to happen, he needs to defeat Drew McIntyre at WWE Fastlane.
Drew McIntyre and Sheamus will surely take each other to the limit at WWE Fastlane 2021, but it should be McIntyre who comes out victorious. Moreover, we might see Sheamus turn face after this match by offering a handshake to his best friend after their grueling battle.
#1 Edge shockingly turns heel and attacks Daniel Bryan at WWE Fastlane 2021
Universal Champion Roman Reigns is set to defend his title at WWE Fastlane 2021 against Daniel Bryan in what will likely be the main event of the pay-per-view. This week on Friday Night SmackDown, Edge defeated Jey Uso to become the special guest enforcer for this match at WWE Fastlane.
Edge's involvement has surely added another layer of drama to this match as he might play a role in the finish. Edge, the winner of the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match, is set to challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37. However, if Bryan defeats Reigns at WWE Fastlane 2021, it would be Edge vs. Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 37.
There have been some massive tensions between the two babyfaces in the last few weeks on SmackDown. At WWE Fastlane 2021, we could witness a situation where Bryan gets into an argument with Edge. In what would be a shocking turn of events, Edge could attack Bryan, costing him the match and turning heel.
As great as Edge has been as a babyface recently, fans would love to see him have a proper heel run. He is, after all, The Rated-R Superstar and one of the best heels that WWE has ever seen. This could ultimately set up Roman Reigns vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37.
