WWE Fastlane 2021

The final pay-per-view stop on the Road to WrestleMania 37 will be WWE Fastlane 2021, which has been announced to take place on March 21. Being the last major event before WrestleMania 37, WWE Fastlane will play a massive role in how the match card of The Show of Shows shapes up to be.

With Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber done and dusted, WWE needs to keep the momentum going to hook the WWE Universe up into all the storylines. Keeping that in mind, we might see some interesting matches go down next month at WWE Fastlane 2021.

Let's take a look at the full match-card predictions for WWE Fastlane 2021, which is set to take place less than four weeks from now. Comment down and let us know which of these matches would you like to see at the pay-per-view and feel free to add your own predictions as well.

Note: The matches are not necessarily in the order in which they could take place at WWE Fastlane 2021.


#8 Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Edge and Christian - Tag Team match at WWE Fastlane

After weeks and weeks of teasing, the winner of the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match Edge finally chose his opponent for WrestleMania 37 at WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 this past Sunday. Edge delivered a Spear to Universal Champion Roman Reigns after the latter's match against Daniel Bryan at the pay-per-view and pointed towards the WrestleMania sign.

WWE has since made this match official for WrestleMania 37 and we are in for a thrilling feud between The Tribal Chief and The Rated-R Superstar.

Now, Roman Reigns has had a lot of help from Jey Uso during his title reign, and he could keep using the number's advantage against Edge. However, we might see Edge's former tag team partner Christian return to even the odds. Christian returned to WWE in the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match and looked to be in great shape.

At WWE Fastlane 2021, we might see a little preview for WrestleMania 37 in the form of a massive tag team match with Edge and Christian teaming up for the first time in nearly a decade to take on Roman Reigns and Jey Uso.

Prediction: Edge and Christian win after Christian pins Jey Uso

#7 Big E (c) vs. Apollo Crews - Intercontinental Championship match at WWE Fastlane

The Intercontinental Championship could be on the line at WWE Fastlane 2021 with Big E defending his title against Apollo Crews. Now, Crews has been slowly turning into a massive heel on the Blue brand, and he also attacked Big E on the SmackDown before Elimination Chamber 2021.

We are likely headed towards a clash between the two and that could very well happen at WWE Fastlane 2021. As for the results, we expect Big E to retain here, possibly via Apollo Crews getting himself disqualified, and go on to defend the Intercontinental Championship in a multi-man match at WrestleMania 37, also involving Crews.

Prediction: Big E retains via disqualification


#6 Bianca Belair vs. Carmella at WWE Fastlane

It is all but confirmed that the winner of the 2021 women's Royal Rumble match Bianca Belair will choose to face SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37. The two teamed at Elimination Chamber 2021 to challenge the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. However, they lost the match after Carmella's sommelier Reginald accidentally distracted Sasha Banks.

Now, Carmella has been massively involved in the SmackDown Women's Championship scene as well. In the coming weeks, we might see Bianca Belair officially announce Sasha Banks as her WrestleMania opponent, but Reginald could try to present the case for Carmella to also be in the match.

This could ultimately lead to Carmella facing Bianca Belair at WWE Fastlane 2021, with the stipulation being that if she wins, she'll be added to the WrestleMania 37 match between Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks.

Prediction: Bianca Belair wins

#5 Asuka (c) vs. Charlotte Flair - RAW Women's Championship match at WWE Fastlane

On the RAW side of things, Asuka could defend her title against Charlotte Flair at WWE Fastlane 2021. On the RAW after Elimination Chamber 2021, Asuka and Charlotte Flair teamed up to face Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. However, the match ended with Flair accidentally hitting Asuka with a knee strike and the other team capitalizing on that.

Following the match, Charlotte Flair tried to help Asuka get up but the RAW Women's Champion shoved her away. We might just see Asuka turn heel in the weeks leading up to WWE Fastlane 2021 and ultimately defend her title against Charlotte Flair at the pay-per-view next month. We expect Asuka to somehow retain and go on to face RAW's newest signing Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 37. That match could also become a triple threat including Charlotte Flair.

Prediction: Asuka retains the RAW Women's Championship


#4 Riddle (c) vs. Keith Lee - United States Championship match at WWE Fastlane

Riddle won his first title on the WWE main roster at Elimination Chamber this past Sunday as he defeated Bobby Lashley and John Morrison in a triple threat match. There was a last-minute change in the match as Keith Lee was originally scheduled to be in the match but had to be removed due to injury.

We might see Keith Lee return to RAW in the coming weeks and challenge Riddle for the United States Championship at WWE Fastlane 2021. If that match does happen, Riddle's US title reign could very well end at the hands of Keith Lee.

Prediction: Keith Lee wins the United States Championship

#3 Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode (c) vs. The Street Profits - SmackDown Tag Team Championship match at WWE Fastlane

The SmackDown Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode could defend their titles at WWE Fastlane 2021 against the former champions, The Street Profits. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were seen asking for a rematch for the tag team titles to Sonya Deville on the Elimination Chamber pre-show.

In the coming weeks, we might see The Street Profits earn a title shot and go on to face Ziggler and Roode for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at WWE Fastlane. The two could win the titles and then go on to defend them in a multi-team match at WrestleMania 37 - also involving the recently heel-turned team of Otis and Chad Gable.

Prediction: The Street Profits win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships


#2 Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins returned to Friday Night SmackDown a couple of weeks ago and initially teased turning face, only to bring back his Messiah persona. The entire SmackDown roster, initially surrounding the ring to hear out Seth Rollins, left the ringside, except Cesaro. However, Cesaro also made fun of Seth Rollins and started leaving, which led to Rollins attacking Cesaro.

Now, fans expected Seth Rollins to somehow cost Cesaro the Elimination Chamber match. While that didn't happen, we might see the two continue their rivalry and face each other at WWE Fastlane 2021. We expect Seth Rollins to emerge victorious, in what could be his first match after returning to WWE this month.

Prediction: Seth Rollins wins

#1 Bobby Lashley (c) vs. The Miz and John Morrison - Handicap match for the WWE Championship at WWE Fastlane

The WWE Championship scene has become really interesting ahead of WWE Fastlane 2021. Drew McIntyre defended the WWE title successfully inside the Elimination Chamber this past Sunday only for Bobby Lashley to attack him following the match, allowing The Miz to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract to become the new WWE Champion.

This week on Monday Night RAW, Bobby Lashley demanded a shot at The Miz's WWE Championship and the match has been officially announced for next week's episode of RAW. Not only that, but Lashley also picked up a massive victory over Braun Strowman tonight.

There is a massive chance that Bobby Lashley will walk out of RAW next week as the new WWE Champion. The Miz will surely try to reclaim his title and we might see him and John Morrison face Bobby Lashley in a handicap match at WWE Fastlane next month.

Bobby Lashley could pick up a victory over the two and continue to gain momentum, following which he could finally feud with Drew McIntyre leading to a match at WrestleMania 37.

Prediction: Bobby Lashley retains the WWE Championship
