Fastlane 2021 is this Sunday, and WWE finally added three matches on the RAW before the pay-per-view. One of those matches will see Alexa Bliss take on Randy Orton.

How did it come to be? On the RAW before Fastlane, Alexa Bliss gave Randy Orton an opportunity to get rid of her for good at the pay-per-view. He was quick to accept the challenge, perhaps in regret of not immolating her at the end of 2020.
Perhaps the most bizarre match on a pay-per-view card we've seen in a while, here are five possible ways that Alexa Bliss vs. Randy Orton could end at Fastlane 2021:
#5. The Fiend returns at Faslane to take out Randy Orton
It's been three months now since we've seen The Fiend Bray Wyatt on WWE TV. His last appearance was the Firefly Inferno Match against Randy Orton that headlined TLC 2021.
While there were initially questions asked about why a non-title match was headlining the pay-per-view, the finish of the bout answered that. Just to remind you, the last time Randy Orton encountered The Fiend Bray Wyatt, he set him on fire.
It's been a long build between Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss to Fastlane 2021. Post-TLC 2020, Alexa Bliss returned and has been tormenting Randy Orton. She vowed that The Fiend Bray Wyatt will eventually return, although Orton seems more than convinced that he won't.
Naturally, this choice of a finish comes first since the entire purpose of it is to build to Bray Wyatt's big return. It was initially rumored that he would return to face Randy Orton at the Royal Rumble. But with the change in plans and Edge facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania instead, The Viper needed an opponent.
We're not sure what the ultimate payoff will be, but Fastlane will be the perfect time for The Fiend to return to WWE. The match between Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton at Fastlane doesn't even need a conclusive finish. Bray Wyatt's appearance alone is enough to warrant a non-finish.
If done right, that's all fans will be talking about post-Fastlane.
#4. The Fiend takes Alexa Bliss' shape at Fastlane and destroys Randy Orton
This could be another bizarre twist at Fastlane. A couple of weeks ago on RAW, we saw a segment where Randy Orton looked at Alexa Bliss on the TV screen. Suddenly, he was shocked to see himself appear with a different voice, indicating that The Fiend has taken his shape.
We could see an odd finish at Fastlane where Alexa Bliss gets "possessed" by The Fiend and destroys Randy Orton the way he has done to many opponents like Finn Balor.
#3. A DQ finish and more black blood
We've seen Randy Orton have black liquid suddenly spurting out of his mouth in backstage segments and the ring. We wouldn't be surprised if the finish of the match at Fastlane ends up being Randy Orton vomiting black blood.
It could even end in disqualification, which won't matter too much if the follow-up is even better. But it could be the last straw before Randy Orton goes berserk on RAW.
#2. Randy Orton immolates Alexa Bliss at Fastlane
This time at Fastlane, Randy Orton could go through with what he didn't on RAW. RAW in 2020 ended with a cliffhanger as Randy Orton was seemingly about to set fire to Alexa Bliss.
Although it wasn't shown, he stopped and revealed that a moment of hesitation prevented him from doing it. A finish at Fastlane with major shock value would be Randy Orton going full circle and immolating Alexa Bliss.
It would be an appropriate way to set up The Fiend's return at Fastlane.
#1. Randy Orton destroys Alexa Bliss to set up The Fiend's return
This could be a highly-likely finish at Fastlane, and we would argue that this has the highest chance of happening. While there will likely be supernatural elements in the intergender Fastlane match, the chances of Randy Orton destroying Alexa Bliss are high.
Just like how Randy Orton destroying The Fiend set up Alexa Bliss' return, the same could happen in the situation vice-versa.
