Oh my god, that is horrible. What happened to "Over the Limit" or something like that, instead of this racing event WWE is trying to hold? :ambrose:

IMO, it'll be easier to tell once RAW is done with tonight but I'd probably do this:

Lesnar (c) and Reigns contract signing
Bryan vs Sheamus - If Bryan wins, he gets a WWE WHC title shot
The Usos (c) vs Cesaro and Kidd (who really need a proper team name plz)
Rusev (c) vs Ryback
Rusev (c) vs Cena (and Rusev attacks Cena, forcing him unable to compete, so Ryback challenges Rusev)
Bray Wyatt vs Dolph Ziggler
Nikki Bella vs Paige
Roman Reigns vs Big Show
Sting and Triple H confrontation

I know, right! My first impression when I heard EC was getting dropped, and THIS was gonna be a thing, I was like :dawg:

But, moving on.

Yes, things should be clarified after tonight.

I'd rather have Rusev vs Ryback, because that's what they were doing even before the Rumble PPV and then it kinda got cancelled or whatever happened with it.
Rusev vs Cena feud sounds so forced because 'Don't get in my face while I'm being interviewed, boi.'

Bryan vs Sheamus sounds interesting especially if it's about the winner being inserted into the ME of WM, but I could also see more people in that match. Like Orton who never got his title rematch.

I mean, if they don't do something with Bryan to calm the fans down, the crowd will end up shitting on Fast Lane (who the hell cares, it's a throwaway PPV anyway) and if they end up shitting on WM, then dayumn... They really don't give a toss about what we think... Shocker.

Reigns vs Big Show. Thanks, but no thanks. Hopefully the feud is over.

No idea what DZ and Ambrose are gonna do, but I think we'll be getting Orton vs Rollins or Ambrose vs Rollins, which I think should be saved for Mania (not that it can't be done at Fast Lane, but I'd rather see Orton vs Rollins there).

But, time will only tell.

Yep, Rusev vs Ryback seems like such a better option considering how people will actually 100% cheer Ryback, and he got some good mic time on RAW that one time and it felt good. Ryback with an actual story + mic time to take down Rusev could have been awesome, but now we get Cena trying to teach Rusev about respect while disrespecting Lana in such a forced feud...

Bryan vs Sheamus vs Orton could be awesome, that makes sense. Bryan wants his title shot, Orton attacks Rollins and wants his too, the Authority try and stop them using Sheamus but end up with this match, winner goes to the main event of WM31.

After what they're doing with Big Show, I can only really see Reigns squashing Big Show. But hey, hopefully they can give Reigns someone like Harper?

I could see Ziggler vs Barrett, or he could lose to Wyatt (like DB did last year) before winning the IC title at 'Mania. I don't mind Orton vs Rollins at this PPV if it means Ambrose vs Rollins, where Ambrose gets his revenge at 'Mania - perhaps Rollins takes out Orton when he demands his title shot, and the Authority tell them only one of them can fight Sheamus. So Orton gives it up to fight Rollins, redeeming himself after his own sting with the Authority.

I remember Rusev/Ryback having a match like two or weeks ago on SmackDown and it was really good.
I'd definitely prefer Ryback to go at it with Rusev and ultimately to conquer Rusev than Cena. But, oh well. We gotta keep Cena strong.

I wouldn't be surprised if they failed to even mention Bryan during the 'big' announcement tonight and just gave us Wyatt vs Bryan at Fast Lane.
Other than Bryan being involved in something high profile at Fast Lane (Bryan vs Sheamus or Bryan vs Sheamus vs Orton), I don't see him doing something too meaningful at the PPV, but we'll see.

There have been rumors about Reigns and Show finally settling it at Fast Lane in a Last Man Standing match, but I'd rather have Reigns face someone else. Heck, Harper vs Reigns or anyone but Big Show vs Reigns would tickle my fancy.

They kinda teased DZ/Rowan/Ryback vs Rollins and J&J security, but I'd rather have DZ involved in something more meaningful.

As far as Orton vs Rollins thing goes, Orton's advertised for tonight's show in Denver, so we may just get Orton vs Rollins at Fast Lane, it's how you'd book both of those guys naturally, at the end of the day.

I can see the contract signing happening.
Bryan and Sheamus is a maybe....we'll have to wait and see if Sheamus is actually heel.
Tag match I can see
Rusev vs. Ryback....maybe, it depends on if they want this matchup at Mania or not. If they do, I don't see them fighting at Fast Lane
Rusev vs. Cena....I see this being a DQ for sure....Cena will look to beat Rusev only for Rusev to get DQ....and attack Cena after he lost...have him in the accolade...then Ryback comes out....and stops him....which then leads to Mania..
Wyatt and Ziggler...not sure why that match would happen....but maybe. Would be fun to watch.
Roman and Big Show...considering Reigns just ran through show on SD....I don't think this is happening.
Sting and Triple H for sure.

Just my 2 cents :)

I don't see Tyson & Cesaro winning the titles if that match does happen.. would be nice if they did I suppose but my gut feeling says no.

Nope, I don't see the Masters of the WWE Universe winning the titles either.

But, it'd be nice to see Usos vs someone else other than Miz/Mizdow or Gold/Stardust which they've done to death.

They better not be blowing the Cody vs Goldust match on free TV (heck, Sky are even showing Fast Lane in HD for FREE in the UK - this is even better than Challenge TV airing Bound for Glory standard definition for free)... hopefully it leads to normal Cody replacing Stardust, and then they give Cody a big singles run. He's taken every single thing and turned it into gold and staaaaarduuust and his work in the feud with the Authority proved he can go and roll with the big boys. Just needs a slight gimmick change, keep him fresh, put him in a big feud with someone (why on earth did they do Big Show vs Orton instead of Cody vs Orton back in late 2013?)...

Yeah, I hope they save it for Mania and have this one at FL end in a DQ or whatever to further cement the feud which would culminate at WM 31.

Personally, I'd like to see Cody back. But, the way they've been going with this 'Cody is dead' thing, I just hope Stardust, who I love, doesn't end up replacing Cody permanently.

I just don't see the character Stardust having a big, successful singles run. I'd prefer Cody for that.

Stardust vs Goldust I wish they built for WM and I get the feeling it's not happening.

It wouldn't surprise me if it didn't happen at WM, but I really wish the match does happen at Mania, as well as Sandow vs Miz. I just hope these two matches don't suffer due to the card being stacked.

Fast Lane is a throwaway PPV anyway, so I guess Gold/Stardust are not gonna totally settle it there.
