WWE Fastlane 2019 Predictions


WWE Fastlane Promotional Poster
WWE



As we continue to move towards WrestleMania, we hit an inevitable road block in our way to the show of shows called Fastlane. This is another show that continues to prove that more is actually less. Nothing on this show couldn't be done on a regular episode of Raw or SmackDown. But we're getting it anyways. So, here are my predictions:

1) The Usos will defeat The Miz and Shane McMahon for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

This will be the night that Shane McMahon will turn on The Miz in front of his own father and build towards the program at WrestleMania. If they go with The Miz turning on Shane in Cleveland, they're going to get the wrong reaction. If they are going that way, they better just hold off on the Miz heel turn until SmackDown.

2) Daniel Bryan will still be WWE Champion after this event one way or the other. Kevin Owens will not be the guy to defeat Daniel Bryan at this point. Kevin may still be involved in the title picture after Fastlane especially if he wins by DQ or countout, but he won't win this title tonight.

3) Nia Jax and Tamina will win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships by defeating Bayley and Sasha Banks. Sasha and Bayley will be defending their titles for the first time tonight, but I have the feeling Vince is going to put the belts on the Samoans just as quickly as he put them on Sasha and Bayley. Going into WrestleMania, I think it will be better if Sasha and Bayley are chasing the champions rather than being champions.

4) Mandy Rose will defeat Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship. I have no faith whatsoever in the booking of Asuka. They've mismanaged her so much, and yet they have given so much time to Mandy Rose. I think the writing is on the wall on this match. Vince McMahon has just never gotten what made Asuka special since she came up to the main roster, and the appeasement to the fans is likely coming to an end tonight. Don't be too surprised if they go with Mandy Rose vs. Sonya Deville on the Pre-Show for WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
5) Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley will defeat The Shield tonight. I predict one of the members of The Shield will turn on the others during the match (in most likelihood, Dean Ambrose) to cause the finish. It wouldn't surprise me to see Lesnar show up to beat down on Rollins, and Ambrose to use the opportunity to give Dirty Deeds to Roman Reigns to cause the finish. This would give Roman and Dean a hot angle to go into WrestleMania with. As for Lashley, Ambrose, and Corbin, I hear there are some openings in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal next month.

6) Ronda Rousey will cause a no-contest in the Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch match. Ronda will use the opportunity to get her sweet revenge on her two biggest rivals, and this will cause even more chaos going into WrestleMania. Don't worry, my fellow Becky fans. The McMahons will ultimately put Becky Lynch into the WrestleMania match, but I suspect Ronda Rousey is going to get a few armbars and perhaps even Kendo Stick shots on The Man and The Queen tonight.

7) The Revival will retain their Raw Tag Team Championships by pinning Bobby Roode or Chad Gable in their three way tag team match with Aleister Black and Ricochet. I don't see Aleister or Ricochet winning championship gold quite yet. Meanwhile, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable will make for some glorious fall guys in this match.

Pre-Show

The New Day will defeat the soon-to-be-"future endeavored" Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura. I just don't see much of a future for Rusev or Nakamura in WWE. As for The New Day, don't be too surprised if Kofi Kingston doesn't make his presence felt during the WWE Championship match later on the show.

Rey Mysterio will pin Andrade in what will probably be the best match on this entire show. (And it will be on the pre-show. Go figure.)

Hope you enjoy the show. Check out the blog later tonight for a review of the show.

Until next time, take care of yourselves. Spread some awesomeness.

WWE Evolution Predictions + Thoughts on An Underpromoted All-Women PPV

Credit: WWE WWE Evolution Promotional Poster This should feel like a bigger deal. After all, this is the first time ever that an All-Women PPV is taking place under the WWE corporate umbrella. But WWE has done a great job of completely killing the show with an uninspired card, lack of promotion, lack of interest overall, and finding a million different other things to promote to undermine the event. Still, some fans (like myself) want to give the women their due and hope to enjoy this show. Here's a rundown of the card and my predictions for each match: 1) Raw Women's Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nikki Bella If this goes longer than 5 minutes, it's definitely too long. As good as Nikki can be in the ring (at times), Rousey should just absolutely massacre her. The only ways to prolong this match in a realistic way would be 1) an injury angle or 2) Twin Magic with Brie interfering. Otherwise, this should be short and awesome. Prediction: Ronda Retains 2)...

WWE TLC 2018 Review- Tables and Ladders and Chairs, Oh My!  

        HERE WE GO!    Pre-Show   1) WWE Cruiserweight Championship   Buddy Murphy (champ) vs. Cedric Alexander   They started this match early. Apparently, they wanted just as many fans in the arena as there usually are in 205 Live matches for this to give it the authentic feel.   The bell rings. A lot of tie-ups and switches to start up the match to a good reaction from the crowd. A Loud 205 Chant. Alexander takes down Murphy to the floor. Really good back and forth action here with both men moving quickly. Alexander catches Murphy with a dropkick for a 2 count. BIG KNEE to the head of Alexander sends him to the floor. Murphy flies off the top rope and hits a Meteora (maybe that’s what they were going for?) for a 2 count. Murphy has the advantage for a few moments, including a power choke on the corner on Alexander. He jumps off it to eat a SUPERKICK to the chest. Crowd seems invested in the matc...

WWE Super Show-Down 2018 Review: Last Time Ever Delivers + Some Other Solid Matches

Another big show in the WWE this year will happen today as WWE comes from Melbourne, Australia in front of 70,000 people. A lot of big matches are happening here. Let's Do This! No Pre-Show today. It's straight to the show. The new WWE opening takes place, and we get a WWE video package putting over the show and the LAST TIME EVER match. It looks like the Raw Announce Team will be calling the show. We go to the arena, and they've already spent more money on fireworks than they have for WWE programming this year. 70,309 in attendance. For once, the entrance way is understated. 1) SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship The Bar vs. The New Day (c) I wonder if Vince/WWE Management is ordering people to run the aisle tonight. Both tag teams were doing that coming to the ring.  Nice back and forth action with Kingston and Cesaro, along with Woods after getting the tag. Woods and Kingston had an awesome sequence of moves to start off. The Bar a minute later catches bot...
