Elimination Chamber happened on the 25th of February.
Fastlane is happening on the 11th of March.
13 Days. THIRTEEN DAYS between these PPVs.

Why have Fastlane at all? I just don't get this booking. Am I the only one who give 0 ducks about this? I mean Wrestlemania is happening on the 8th of April, why slap a PPV in the middle? It is not needed. People are focused on WM right now and it seems almost pointless. Like they are just doing it to get money. I'm kind of venting here but this is why I can't get into WWE like I used to be. It seems like they don't know what to do anymore so they just give us more and more wrestling that we didn't ask for.

Between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania..I don't care about any PPV... I guess Elimination Chamber meant more than Fastlane considering Roman Reigns became #1 contender for the Universal Title, but Fastlane seems totally useless.

They probably figured they couldn't leave Smackdown hanging without a PPV on the road to WrestleMania.

Plus, John Cena is going to be on the show, so hopefully they set up Cena's WrestleMania match, or this PPV is a giant waste of time.

What I hate about this is it gives SmackDown like 2 weeks for the mania build.

Like Nakamura vs Styles is taking a backseat to a filler ppv match because they cant build it when it's "not sure" if AJ would still be champion. I'm glad that we're going back to combined ppv. Maybe that would mean more time for Mania builds

I loved Corey's call at the Rumble. "Wow! The dream match the fans have been begging for is actually happening!!" After Shinsuke calls out AJ Styles after the match and next week on Smackdown and all the fans celebrated in a big frenzy of excitement and...

It would have been better kept as that, but wait, gotta build Fastlane!! Enjoy some pointless six way because boo hoo Cena won't be at Mania...

HEY A-HOLE IN STORYLINE YOU MISSED MANIA 32. You just ran in to save Rock. You can run in this year too

As useless as this show is, the card does look rather good : Orton vs Roode will be very interesting, Riot and Charlotte could surprise with a great match, New Day vs Usos is guaranteed to be good, and the 6 way main event will be entertaining. So as far as wrestling quality goes, I think Fastlane will deliver.

The card is great, but the PPV itself, who cares most of the time. We may get a surprise win, but who gives a shit when you can have AJ vs Shin at Mania for the title?

I'd honestly have no problem with them not having a PPV between the Rumble and Mania. Use Raw and Smackdown to build the Mania matches. By having to wait for the results of the in between PPVs, it gives them less time to build the feuds for the actual matches.

I really, really hate the fastlane logo this year. They could've just made the logo neonsign - which they practically did in the logo this year, but they have to make the outerlines to be fire.

It's AJ vs Nakamura. Rumble winner (even though he shouldn't be) vs Champ. There's not much to build. This at least makes things slightly less boring and repetitive.

This is one of the reasons I've lost touch with wrestling. I don't have the time to watch the amount of wrestling they give us anymore. But then just trying to watch PPV's I feel like I've missed the build ups and don't enjoy them as much.
