Fastlane Tonight - in Cleveland!

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Honestly a terrible move to have AJ enter so early. The crowd is going to turn on Roman regardless, but why give them an amazing option like Styles?

Im banking on WWE wants to sort out the surprises. Id like to see AJ last into the final four. I like it, we get to watch him wrestle most of the match. Im all for a good showing like that.
 
How awesome would a Taker entrance be though? It may be the pop of the night soon as the gong hits.

Or i just love the gong more than most.


Lmao R Truth is a fool
 
Well, I called Triple H winning. All my other predictions sucked, but still.
 
If winning the Rumble means Triple H is main evening Wrestlemania, then what match will we be getting at Fastlane?
 
The HHH option is fine in this moment, but now Wrestlemania is already set in stone.

They could've gone Bray or Ambrose and had endless possibilities. But right now we all know it's Roman VS HHH for the title. And we also know HHH is gonna lose.


I'm cool with HHH having yeah title but it just bottlenecked everything the WWE can do.


Don't think a Seth Rollins face turn isn't right around the corner either
 
I don't mind it...anyone but Reigns...only been watching the last ~6 months...I can see why so many people don't like him...he needs to turn heel like old school Rock and expand his character...dude has the charisma level of a pile of sandstone.
 
Very smart move to have Owens throw A.J out and Zayn throw Owens out. If anyone else does those two eliminations, the boo's would've been deafening.

100% agree. That's honestly the only part that was well booked.

Aj should have come out a little later. His pop was crazy but he could have been used in the late teens when there is a lul. Without other surprises and any major comebacks , I thought it should have been done.

Ambrose should have eliminated Reigns. Not in a I'm screwing you over way, but more of a "I needed to do what's best for me". Only to have Roman come in and screw ambrose. Turns him heel, sets up a stage for an epic feud, and it's probably the one match of the current crop of wrestlers that could draw at the top of the card.

Aj had a great debut but now what? You can't put him near Owens bc of the Zayn story line. Not sure how long they milk it, but Owens needs to duck him until Mania.

Still no Bryan is a shame.

Lesnar vs Wyatts is interesting if they go the whole mind games route but at the end of the day keeping Lesnar away from the main event sucks.

Sadly it's going to be Reigns vs HHH.

Reigns isn't turning heel. I think we all need to realize that at this point. Makes sense if they were to, but they seem hell bent on getting him over as the new #1 face.

Bryan as a surprise entrant only to get eliminated would brought on another round of loud loud boos.

Eh, I don't know about that. Sami might be in NXT for a little while longer. It looks like he might be headlining the next Takeover event.

I want to believe they actually have big plans for Ambrose, but I'm guessing being in the final two really didn't mean much for him. The only reason Reigns wasn't in the final two was so the arena didn't explode when Triple H eliminated him to win. They got that out of the way, and put Trips against a wrestler that they knew would be over in a smark atmosphere, so the crowd wouldn't pop that much once he won.
 
I enjoyed the rumble.. I think they handled things well. No complaints

Only complaint I have is when AJ was eliminated the crowd went dead. Same as Bray and Brock.

Besides that i do like how they protected Strowman. I also like how they didn't overuse AJ Styles. He's well respected in wrestling and all that but he does have to work for what he gets in the WWE. Pushing someone straight to the top works in NXT(Apollo Crews, Samoa Joe) but on the main roster it's hard to do. Kevin Owens did it but he's so good it was destiny he'd go to the top.
