WWE Fastlane 2021: 5 Mistakes that were made

#4. Where was Cesaro at Fastlane?

Cesaro was attacked by Seth Rollins two weeks ago on SmackDown, so Shinsuke Nakamura stepped up and faced The Messiah at Fastlane.

Many fans belived that Nakamura would be able to do enough to allow Cesaro to make his return and then send a message to Rollins. The Messiah and The Swiss Cyborg are on a collision course that could lead to a potential match at WrestleMania. Naturally, Fastlane was the perfect opportunity to build this match.

While Rollins had a great showing in his first singles pay-per-view match since last year's SummerSlam, it was one that wasn't expected to end clean. Nakamura to take something away from this match. But once again, The Artist came up short, though he showcased a more aggressive side throughout the bout.

Still, Cesaro should have returned and interfered so that Nakamura didn't have to take this decisive loss. Following Sunday's defeat, it will be tough for WWE to push Nakamura into a meaningful storyline just weeks before WrestleMania.

Hopefully, WWE can find a way to set up a tag team match between Cesaro, Nakamura, Rollins, and Murphy coming out of Fastlane. That way, The Artist can quickly regain some of this lost momentum.
