WWE Fastlane 2019: 5 Potential finishes for The Shield vs. Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley & Baron Corbin 

WWE Fastlane is, as many of my peers and colleagues have said already, is the final stop on the road to WrestleMania 35. Some have called it a skippable pay-per-view because everything of importance is already set in stone for WrestleMania. And yet, there's one match that stands out like a sore thumb. A match that seems underwhelming on paper, but could have massive long-term consequences.

In this article, I shall detail 5 potential finishes for this match at WWE Fastlane 2019. This is The Shield's final pay-per-view appearance by all accounts because of the uncertainty around Dean Ambrose's future. So, how does WWE play this big match out?

Mind you, it's also The Shield's comeback match, so WWE may want to give them a moment in the sun, their very last hurrah. There are so many ways this match could potentially pan out at Fastlane.

I will list out just 5 of them here...

#5 Lio Rush turns on Bobby Lashley, costs his team the match

Lio Rush has been a thorn in Bobby Lashley's side for some time now. If you think about it, Lashley never lost the Intercontinental Championship to Balor and it was Rush who got pinned instead of the former Champion. Moreover, Lashley had turned on Rush at that time, leaving him in the middle of the ring.

What if Lio Rush has been biding his time, waiting for the most opportune moment to strike out against Bobby Lashley? And there is absolutely no bigger stage than this match, where he can cost Lashley a win and set up a match between the two of them for WrestleMania.

This could potentially be a moment in the match that nobody saw coming. And with his innate high flying skills, Rush could be a great babyface.

#4 The heels win the match with a dirty trick

Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre do not mind taking the low road to pick up a victory. And so, there's always the possibility that the trio will resort to something despicable to pick up a win. In my opinion, this is the only way that the heels win the match.

There is almost no way that WWE is going to book The Shield to lose their big comeback match. Unless that is, that the heels cheat to win the big one. Even this is not a very possible scenario, considering this match is the story of The Shield and not a makeshift team that will split up soon after this match.

The only reason that I can see the heels winning is to build Drew McIntyre back up again. He is a big get in WWE's eyes and the company has big plans for him.

#3 Brock Lesnar lays everyone in the match out

This is personally my least favourite scenario but it's certainly a possible one. While the story of The Shield has been front and centre on WWE RAW recently, everyone has forgotten about the Universal Championship match.

Well, if you forget about The Beast Incarnate, he will show up and remind you why he's the most feared competitor not merely in Mixed Martial Arts but also in the history of sports entertainment. Remember his return at Hell in a Cell when he interfered in the Universal Championship match?

While Rollins could be his central focus; when Lesnar is involved there is a lot of collateral damage as well, involving the rest of the competitors. I can actually see Brock Lesnar lay every man in the match out, to send the WWE Universe a strong message ahead of WrestleMania 35.

The Beast is here to stay!

#2 Dean Ambrose turns on The Shield, the heels win

I know that deep down inside, every one of you considers this to be a possibility. And this is because you know that WWE wanted to tell a story with Dean Ambrose's heel turn, and the story only got told halfway owing to Roman Reigns falling ill. Now that Reigns is back, the story could potentially kick off at full blast again.

The fact of the matter is that Dean Ambrose's future with the company is uncertain. WrestleMania 35 could very well be the very last time that Ambrose works for WWE as a performer. So, the company may certainly want to send The Lunatic Fringe away in style.

And we also know that Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are best friends backstage, so Ambrose may want Reigns to do the honors. It is to be noted that neither Reigns nor Ambrose has a WrestleMania match yet.

#1 The Shield wins the contest

But, in all probability, this is what is going to happen at Fastlane. The Shield has reunited and they will stand tall in the face of adversity, to prove to the WWE Universe that they're the most dominant force in the company. They will take on the team of Lashley, Corbin and McIntyre and win the match. They will prove once again why they're the Hounds of Justice.

The Dean Ambrose heel turn could still happen following the match. It could also happen on an episode of RAW leading up to WrestleMania 35. And it may never happen either.
