The WWE Fastlane match card is really stacked as the WWE had announced the following 7 matches for the show before making Rey Mysterio vs Andrade official-

  1. WWE Championship -- Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kevin Owens
  2. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair
  3. The Shield vs. Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin & Bobby Lashley
  4. SmackDown Women's Championship -- Asuka (c) vs. Mandy Rose
  5. SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon
  6. Women's Tag Team Championship -- Boss 'N Hug Connection (c) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina
  7. Raw Tag Team Championship -- The Revival (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable

The top 3 matches of this list will mostly take a huge amount of time and 3 of the remaining 4 matches are tag team matches meaning they will also consume a lot of time.

Given that the Fastlane show is relatively shorter than the Big 4 shows, the WWE Creative would have been forced to book this match in a rushed manner for the main show.

The WWE Universe would not have got the match they deserved and thus, the Creative team pushed it to the pre-show to give both the performers the time they need.
