WWE Fastlane 2019: 5 Twists on the show that can affect WrestleMania

WWE Fastlane comes to us later tonight from Cleveland, Ohio and it's one of the most important WWE Fastlane PPVs of all time. There are big ramifications on the WrestleMania card which will depend on what happens at Fastlane.

The two biggest matches on the card have to be Charlotte versus Becky Lynch with Lynch's place in the RAW Women's Championship match at WrestleMania at stake. We also have Roman Reigns returning to in-ring action for the first time since October as The Shield, who reunited on RAW last week, face Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley. Kevin Owens will also be challenging Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship.

With Fastlane less than 24 hours away, let's take a look at some twists that WWE could surprise the fans with at Fastlane and then take a look at how these decisions could have an effect on WrestleMania.

#5 The Miz turns on Shane McMahon and destroys him to set up Mania match

Will The Miz turn on his best friend?

THE TWIST - Shane McMahon and The Miz will get the chance to win back their SmackDown Tag-Team Championships when they face The Usos at Fastlane. The PPV is taking place from The Miz's hometown of Cleveland, Ohio and there's more than a good chance that The Usos retain that title. If that happens, don't be surprised if an enraged Miz blames Shane for the loss before turning on him.

IMPACT ON MANIA - The Miz turning on Shane McMahon would obviously lead to a singles match between them at WrestleMania 35 in April. This would be the best way to go forward with this storyline and a match between the two former co-besties will be really interesting to watch and will slot nicely into the WrestleMania card.

#4 The New Day refuse to wrestle

The New Day hasn't been happy since Kofi got screwed

THE TWIST - The New Day are upset after what happened to Kofi Kingston (in kayfabe) and Xavier Woods even came out on Twitter saying that he only found out about his Fastlane match on Twitter. Could Big E and Xavier Woods protest at Fastlane?

IMPACT ON MANIA - New Day's protest could lead into the Kofi Kingston storyline where he finally earns a title shot at WrestleMania.

#3 Luke Harper returns to join Daniel Bryan

Luke Harper recently returned at a recent WWE Live Event

THE TWIST - Daniel Bryan will defend the title against Luke Harper at Fastlane this Sunday. With Owens on the verge of winning the match tonight, we could see Luke Harper make his WWE return to set up the win for Daniel Bryan.

IMPACT ON MANIA - This will leave Daniel Bryan open to defend his title against Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania.

#2 Becky Lynch loses

Will Becky Lynch get screwed?

THE TWIST - One of the biggest matches at WWE Fastlane is the singles match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte with Lynch getting added to the RAW Women's Championship match at WrestleMania. With Becky having signed the Hold Harmless Agreement, I definitely see Stephanie McMahon screwing Becky Lynch in some way.

IMPACT ON MANIA - Becky will still definitely get added to the match at WrestleMania eventually but could we see Ronda Rousey and Stephanie McMahon join forces?

#1 Dean Ambrose turns on Roman Reigns

Reigns and Ambrose

THE TWIST - The other big match at Fastlane will see Roman Reigns return to the ring with the reunited Shield as they take on Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. There is quite a good chance Dean Ambrose turns on Roman Reigns, especially if he's still on his way out of WWE.

IMPACT ON MANIA - This could lead to Roman Reigns facing his real-life best friend Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania. One last big match for Ambrose if that's to be his last WWE match for a while.
