Breaking hearts, and records!

WWE Fastlane 2018 served as the final WWE single branded pay-per-view, and it was a fine way to go out.

Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura opened up the show with Rusev. The two had a very competitive back and forth match, one of the best WWE PPV opening matches in some time. Just a shame Rusev had to 'inspect the lights', on Rusev Day, of all days.

Up next Randy Orton made history as he officially joined the Grand Slam club when he pinned Bobby Roode to capture the WWE United States Championship. This was a pretty damn good match, perhaps Bobby Roode's best since he joined the Smackdown roster. Randy's 'RKO Out of Nowhere' gets thrown around a lot today, but this RKO really was out of nowhere.

Natalya and Carmella put away Becky Lynch and Naomi in a pretty standard women's tag team match, nothing special here. The Tag Team Championship match saw champions The Usos go to a no-contest with The New Day in a short but passable match when The Bludgeon Brothers interfered, beating up both teams.

Charlotte Flair retained her Women's Championship over Ruby Riott in a solid match. The Nature Girl helped make Ruby look really good here. Charlotte's after party was interrupted by Royal Rumble winner Asuka, who let it be known she was coming for her at WrestleMania.

The main event saw WWE Champion AJ Styles retain his Championship over Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and John Cena in an excellent main event, already a strong match of the year contender from WWE here. The action was fast-paced, went everywhere and everyone involved was allowed to look good.
