Get in the Fastlane on the Road To Wrestlemania! That’s the not-so-catchy tagline for this pay per view which replaces Elimination Chamber presumably because the building isn’t capable of hanging the Elimination Chamber above the ring. So instead we have Fastlane, which is headlined by Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan. Following Roman Reigns win in the Royal Rumble, Triple H wanted to challenge Reigns and make him earn his Wrestlemania main event spot. Triple H made a match on Raw between Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins with the winner to meet Reigns at Fastlane and it was Daniel Bryan that picked up the win. Now Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan meet with the winner going on to the Wrestlemania main event against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. Reigns and Bryan started respecting one another but over the weeks the relationship between the two came to a head and the two men ended up brawling last week on Raw.

Another big match set for tonight is for the United States Championship with the undefeated Rusev putting the title on the line against John Cena. Following the Royal Rumble last month, John Cena was being interviewed when Rusev interrupted him. It was revealed that John Cena and Rusev were supposed to meet at Wrestlemania but that match has been bought forward and will instead take place tonight. Like always with Rusev, this feud has come down to USA vs. Russia and it’s Cena representing the stars and stripes this time. There will also be a six man tag team match tonight as The Authority (Seth Rollins, Kane and The Big Show) take on the three men that were once fired at the hands of The Authority, Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan. The Authority triple teamed Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan on Smackdown last week which was why this match was made.

There are three other title matches tonight. Dean Ambrose beat Bad News Barrett in a non-title match a few weeks ago on Raw and ever since then Ambrose has wanted a shot at the Intercontinental Championship held by Barrett. Bad News has refused to give Dean a shot but Ambrose would tie Barrett around the ringpost and sign a contract with Barrett own hands to make the match official for Fastlane. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd are a new tag team that have not only beaten The Usos in singles match but also beaten the Tag Team Champions in a non-title tag team match. Cesaro and Kidd get their shot at the Tag Team Titles tonight. One result from this feud is the fallout between Jimmy Uso’s wife Naomi and Tyson Kidd’s wife Natalya. They have also been at odds and are expected to be in their husbands corners tonight. The other title match tonight will see Nikki Bella defend the WWE Divas Championship against Paige.

Also tonight two brothers will clash as Goldust goes one on one with Stardust. Goldust thinks Stardust has gone too far and wants Cody back. Stardust freaked out when Goldust called him Cody and even attacked his brother after a tag team match. They compete against one another tonight. Finally Triple H will be calling out Sting tonight and the two men will be in the ring together, what will Triple H have in store for Sting?

On the kick off show Paul Heyman was a guest on Miz TV and told The Miz that he doesn’t care who wins the match between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan tonight as they will both go on to lose at Wrestlemania against Brock Lesnar.

A video package kicks us off, focusing mostly on the matches between John Cena and Rusev & Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns. The angle between Triple H and Sting is also mentioned.

Michael Cole welcomes us to Memphis for Fastlane!

And that was Fastlane 2015. It wasn’t a great show to be honest and if it never happened then it would make no different to the path of Wrestlemania whatsoever. It kicked off with an ok 6 man tag team match. The Authority won which put them as over as more of a functional unit than the other three men that can now go their own separate ways. Seth was probably the only man in the match that needed the win as I’d expect him to go on and have a big programme with Randy Orton at Wrestlemania. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the other five guys in this match entered into the Andre The Giant Battle Royal. Which is a shame for Dolph as he has had a lot of momentum as of late. Goldust then beat Stardust in a result I found quite surprising. But I must say, I do like it. It was unexpected but I like that it keeps the feud going. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see this feud up the ante and go on to Wrestlemania where we may even see Cody vs. Dustin. Goldust wins tonight in an upset victory. Not a very good match though.

Cesaro and Tyson Kidd beat The Usos to become the WWE Tag Team Champions. I quite liked this too. I like Cesaro and Kidd as a tag team and it’s a fresh direction for the tag team titles. This was a really good match, two quality teams with a lot of chemistry. Don’t be too surprised to see this feud continue. Triple H and Sting were out next and the good thing to come out of this was a match made between the two at Wrestlemania. I can not wait to see Sting in a WWE match. Triple H makes sense as the opponent but we need Sting vs. Undertaker. Nikki Bella beat Paige with a roll-up but was somewhat pulling the tights. That makes me think this feud will continue but I also think that they’ll try and get as many women as they can onto the Wrestlemania card. Paige has been on an awful run over the past 6 months or so but this could be leading to a Divas championship win at Wrestlemania. There aren’t many other options for champion at the moment.

Bad News Barrett beat Dean Ambrose next by disqualification to retain his Intercontinental Championship. This was a decent match but it looks like this feud will continue until Wrestlemania. I’m guessing there’ll be some sort of gimmick match, maybe a ladder match? Not much more to say about this really! Rusev beat John Cena and to be honest this match bored me a little. Both men have had much better matches and I can’t help but think they were holding back and they’ll go full force at Wrestlemania. Rusev beat John Cena in the same way he’s beaten the likes of Jack Swagger, Big E and Mark Henry before, with the challenger passing out. Nothing original with that finish. Rusev wins again. And in the main event Roman Reigns beat Daniel Bryan in a good match to confirm his spot at Wrestlemania. This felt like WWE booking Reigns to gain Bryan’s respect so he can earn the fans respect too. I don’t know what Daniel Bryan will be doing at Wrestlemania but we do know Roman Reigns will be battling for the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar.
