Go for it.

Only 3 matches right now

Neville over Gallagher because Neville is that damn good

Roman Reigns over Braun Strowman because this is what Strowman was built to do

Goldberg over Owens and god please may I be wrong....

other matches I don't know what is planned at all. But I see no title changes except for Goldberg possibly winning which should not happen.

Roman Reigns over Braun Strowman because this is what Strowman was built to do
This an interesting one as most wrestling fans consider both these guys Vince's current top projects...

My gut tells me that these 2 will beat seven shades of shit out of each other before the Undertaker
arrives and puts Reigns or may-be both of them down for a 10 count.

It will actually be really sad if Strowman is simply fed to Reigns for a clean win...I've actually come
to like Strowman and he's been the best booked performer on RAW since the brand split.
Goldberg over Owens and god please may I be wrong....
I hope your right to Shaddix...as I hate part timers being put over full timers...in fact I just hate part timers
(apart from Cena...I have no problem with him as he put both Styles & Wyatt over)

I can't see Lesnar getting involved...as it would make no sense. Lesnar would want Goldberg to
win the title from Owens. Lesnar may attack Goldberg after the match...not during.

Triple H may get involved to help Owens...Hell...he may lend KO his trusty Sledgehammer...as
Goldberg did fall to that weapon once before...but...that may be a long shot at this point.

Jericho may get involved to help Goldberg...I mean...Owens did terminate their friendship in
the most violent way possible besides a gun or knife...and that would help set up a possible
Owens/Jericho United States title match at Wrestlemania.

I really hope WWE keep the title on Owens...but...it seems inevitable that Goldberg may squash
KO in record time.
Neville over Gallagher because Neville is that damn good
I agree...nEVILle needs to keep that title for a long time...possibly 9 months to a year...

As far as other matches...

Charlotte vs. Bayley for the Women's title? (Not sure who the Champion will be...waiting to see a "screwjob" this Monday)
Gallows & Anderson vs. Enzo & Cass vs. Sheamus & Cesaro for the tag titles?
Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe?
Chris Jericho vs. ??? for the United States title? Although Jericho may sit out Fastlane through "injuries"
Sasha Banks vs. Evil Emma...because I just want Emma back...

I still say there was no controversy in the finish to Bayley vs Charlotte for the Women's title. The referee was asking Bayley if she wanted to quit when Sasha interfered.

I think u are wrong about this. Logically, Lesnar wouldn't wanna cost Goldberg the title cuz then he would get a shot. But this is WWE, and they often have huge holes in their logic.

I could see Brock costing Goldberg the match just becuz it'll be easy revenge to cost Goldberg his (probably last ever) title shot. And I can already hear Paul Heyman saying "when Brock Lesnar wants the WWE Championship, he will take the WWE Championship, but right now Brock Lesnar wants Bill Goldberg"...or something like that.

But that's stupid...and it would make Lesnar look stupid...

*Thinks*

Lesnar should attack Goldberg and cost him the match...

Well...you say there was no controversy...but the RAW creative team may have other ideas.

Frankly the fact the WWE couldn't wait till Wrestlemania to put the belt on Bayley shows
how unfocused and flawed their story telling is.

The WWE has actually made me hate Bayley...which I can't believe...but due to her basically
doing nothing since arriving on the main roster, zero character development, her lame finisher
and piss poor mic skills...I honestly can't wait for her to lose the belt.

Official matches (so far):
- Kevin Owens vs Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship

- Neville vs Jack Gallagher for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

- Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman

Bound to happen:
- Sami Zayn vs Samoa Joe

- Bayley vs Charlotte for the RAW Women's Championship. Or, there'll be a tag team match or maybe even a 6-woman tag. Either way, I don't really care.

- Gallows & Anderson vs Cesaro & Sheamus vs Enzo & Cass for the RAW Tag Team Championship. Or, they might throw The New Day into the mix, too.

Predictions:
- KO vs Goldberg: Goldberg squashing Owens is such a foregone conclusion that I'm really not a fan of. But, can KO somehow miraculously retain?
I don't expect him to go over Goldberg in any way, but I really don't want to see Lesnar vs Goldberg III be for the Universal title. Having Lesnar interfere and cost Goldberg doesn't make sense, but they've done things that don't make sense before, so here's to hoping they do it now. I don't care what they do, to be frank, as long as KO retains and we get KO vs Y2J for the Universal title at Mania instead of the US title match that's most likely to happen.

- Neville vs Gallagher: Neville retains.

- Reigns vs Strowman: Strowman wins, I think. I assume Taker will get involved and cost Reigns the match.

- Joe vs Zayn: Joe wins.

- Bayley vs Charlotte: CharlotteWinsLOL 'cause it's a PPV. But, if they decide to roll with a tag match or a 6-woman tag match, then I guess the heel team will prevail.

- RAW Tag Team Championship match: Gallows & Anderson retain.

Hopefully Finn Bálor returns. I mean, he should re-emerge any moment now and hopefully they have a direction for him for Mania.

I damn sure hope Goldberg squashes the fat man. I want to laugh at people's anger.

Ha we looking for women's title hot potato part 2 XD

Jericho is totally feuding with Owens at wresltemania, it should be for both Us and Uv titles.

Zayn vs. Joe is a really good call

Fast lane will suck because Goldberg is headline mania as champion when he can't even headbutt a door properly anymore.

Two more matches have been added to the Fastlane card:

- Charlotte vs Bayley for the RAW Women's Championship
Prediction: CharlotteWinsLOL because it's a PPV, of course.

- Gallows & Anderson vs Enzo & Cass for the RAW Tag Team Championship
Prediction: It's a bit too early to have Gallows & Anderson drop the belts, so I assume they will retain by hook or by crook. Hell, Cesaro & Sheamus might get involved, as well.

There is no chance Neville is losing Cruiserweight Title at Fastlane.

I think that Reigns vs Strowman is tough to predict because Reigns is Vince's pet project and Strowman is undergoing a massive push. However, I see there being a double count out or just a screwy finish that will make them both look strong. Or, Undertaker could cost Reigns the match to set up their Wrestlemania bout.

I think that Goldberg will beat Kevin Owens for the Universal Title but it will be because of interference on behalf of Chris Jericho. This will set up Chris Jericho vs Kevin Owens at Wrestlemania and it would also unfortunately make Goldberg vs Lesnar III for a world title. The problem I have with this is that whoever wins (Obviously Lesnar) the Universal Title will be on a part timer. Remember when Lesnar went on a 4 month hiatus and took the WWE Title with him ? That cant happen again as Raw needs a boost in ratings and one thing that Raw cannot go without is a world title for several months and one can only imagine how more unbearable raw would be without a world title.
