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.

UnWrest Focus- The Rock vs. Stone Cold at WrestleMania Part II- WrestleMania X-Seven

Welcome to the second of three posts looking at the epic rivalry between The Rock and Stone Cold at WrestleMania. This edition will look at the iconic encounter between the two at WrestleMania X-Seven. As previously mentioned on the first post, their encounter in 2001 was a culmination of different paths coming together to reunite a classic feud. While The Rock and Stone Cold had met at WrestleMania XV and Backlash in 1999, their next major epic match was not until this show. While the end of No Mercy 1999 hinted that these two and Triple H would be involved in a Triple Threat match, Stone Cold needed to get his neck surgery that he had put off for a couple years. While Austin went out for his neck surgery, the company turned to The Rock as the sole lead face on WWF programming. The Rock was the central attaction of WWF programming from 1999-2000 and helped the company maintain its position as the #1 wrestling promotion in the world. (WCW's own internal problems helped with that...

UnWrest Focus- Survivor Series: Team Cena vs. Team Authority (Survivor Series 2014)

A feud between those who abuse power and those who try to overcome their abuse. It's a classic storytelling trope that has been used time and time again throughout fiction and history. In 2014, that trope was brought back as The Authority looked to cement its power through their "Chosen One" Seth Rollins and his team. Meanwhile, John Cena and other disgruntled WWE employees sought to end the "Reign of Terror" of The Authority once and for all. Putting their jobs on the line, Team Cena hoped to get an opportunity to send Stephanie and Triple H away. However, fans didn't expect a traitor in the midst of Team Cena or the debut of the Franchise of WCW in a WWE ring. This is the latest edition of UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series, and it's going to be a memorable one at that. Let's do this! WWE Survivor Series 2014 11/23/14 Survivor Series Match Team Cena (John Cena, Big Show, Ryback, Erick Rowan, and Dolph Ziggler) vs. Team Authority (Seth Rollins, ...

UnWrest Focus REWIND: Vader vs. Cactus Jack (WCW Halloween Havoc, 10/24/1993)

Spin the Wheel, Make The Deal. That was the gimmick going into this iconic match between two of the hardest hitting wrestlers of all time. It was the storyline months in development: Cactus Jack had just returned after Vader mauled him with a battery of injuries and a concussion to get his revenge. Vader, a merciless monster who delivers pain and punishment to all his vicitms, faced Cactus Jack, the one guy who would take Vader's assault and like the orphan Annie would ask for more. And if Vader wanted to brawl, no one could take Vader's offense and return it in spades quite like Cactus Jack. So, WCW billed the match as "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal." The idea being that the actual stipulation of the match would be determined on Halloween Havoc by the spin of a big wheel. (If only wrestling could take the "Big Wheel" from The Price is Right. And of course, we'd have to make sure it goes all the way around.) So, the wheel landed that night on a Texas D...
