Ronda gotta get involved in the womens title somehow since she wanted the triple threat anyway bc Charlotte would look weak af losing to a crippled Becky clean. Maybe she'll just come in and beat the fuck out of Becky so she wins by DQ lmao

This card is just a prime example of why this PPV isn't needed at all.

This card is just a prime example of why this PPV isn't needed at all.

They should just move Mania to March and be done with it.

That said, this is also because WWE doesn't know how to book an exciting road to Mania PPV for whatever reason.

 

[Sabretooth]

I don't see anything wrong with the card. It's a precursor to wrestlemania. A warm up if you will

 

[Chris]

I'm fine with shows like this with the Network, the PPV format is a thing of the past and they aren't really worrying about buyrates so it's whatever to me, a nice glorified Network special if you will.

 

[Crippler]

I fucks with 5 matches so I ain't mad.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Alright, I'm just coming back with more in-depth thoughts on the matches.

WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) vs Kevin Owens

I'm hoping this is just a one-and-done match, as great as it looks like it could be. We need Kofi at Mania.

Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch (If Becky wins, she gets added to Raw Women’s Title Match at WrestleMania)

Either Becky wins clean or Ronda gifts Becky the win via DQ. I prefer clean, but it gets us where they need to go.

The Shield vs Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, & Bobby Lashley

One last ride for the Shield.

WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs The Miz & Shane McMahon

Either Miz turns heel, or Shane turns heel. I'd prefer if Shane turned heel. Give Miz something to do instead of going back to his stale "I'm a geeky heel" gimmick.

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Bayley & Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax & Tamina

For the love of god, don't give Tamina or Jax any championships. But I fear they could be pulling a swerve on us this Sunday.

WWE SmackDown Women's Championship: Asuka (c) vs Mandy Rose

Asuka is love, Asuka is life. Let her reign last for eternity.

WWE Raw Tag Team Championship: The Revival (c) vs Ricochet & Aleister Black vs Chad Gable & Bobby Roode

I enjoy the Revival as much as the next guy and I'd prefer if they stayed champions for the moment.

Kickoff Match: Rey Mysterio vs Andrade

Give Andrade a signature win here against a beloved legend. It only makes sense, right?

 

[Jimmy King]

Added to the kickoff

Added to the kickoff

Oh goodie, a match where I want neither team to lose.

 

[Chris]

I'd rather Rusev and Nakamura win if they're going to be a decent tag team this year. I'm assuming Shane and Miz are gonna break up for Shane's yearly Mania match and New Day don't need the win to stay relevant so it would be nice for the new team to get it if they're going to feud with The Usos next, but WWE really doesn't give a fuck about this tag division at the moment so they'll probably just let New Day go over for the pop.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Alright fellas. Today is FastLane!

Who will be joining the live chat today? I know I will, although I might be a little late since I work before the show proper starts.

 

[Chris]

I'm going to see Captain Marvel today but I should be back before the preshow so I'll be here most likely

 

[Jimmy King]

I’ll still be working when it starts and when I get home I’m gonna catch the kick off first for those matches, but I’ll try to give my post show thoughts on it if I remember.
