The main event of WWE Fastlane will feature two of the blue brand's biggest stars, Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, with the latter's Universal Championship at stake.

After winning an action-packed and imposing Elimination Chamber bout, the battle-weary Bryan was forced to challenge for The Tribal Chief's Universal Title. Although Bryan caught the champion with the 'Yes Lock', the fresh and oppurtunistic Reigns locked his opponent in the Guillotine Choke to go over.
Royal Rumble winner Edge would then instantly emerge and Spear the title holder before announcing that he will lock horns with Reigns at Mania. Bryan secured the right to face Reigns for the title at Fastlane, courtesy of his rematch victory over Jey Uso inside the Steel Cage on the main event of the March 5th episode of SmackDown. On the March 19th go-home SmackDown, Jey Uso will battle Edge with the winner earning the right to be special guest enforcer for the Fastlane title match.
As per usual, Daniel Bryan heads to Sunday as the ultimate underdog, with the dominant champ ignoring him as a genuine threat. Roman Reigns Vs Edge is touted to be marked in as the biggest marquee match of 'Mania 37. Thus, it's unlikely that Bryan will overcome Reigns and sail to WrestleMania with the title.
It's unfortunate that a seasoned performer like Bryan is being under-utilized as a transitional opponent for Reigns as Fastlane, before his big money Mania match with the Rated-R Superstar. But, this is Reigns' turn to shine. Reigns has single-handedly carried the blue-brand since his return and subsequent reinvention. The Tribal Chief has turned into the promotion's undisputed top draw and is the most engaging and finest heel on the entire WWE roster. The Head of the Table will also have an additional advantage of having Uso by his side, backing him up, irrespective of Friday's outcome.
We are picking Roman Reigns to reign supreme this weekend in what will be a great contest.
