5 things WWE told us after Fastlane 2019

Fastlane is officially over, which means that the final major stop on the road to WrestleMania has finished. With less than a month to go, it's surreal that we're already just a month away from the grandest stage of them all.

The card was quite a good one, and though we didn't see any title changes, that was definitely the right call from WWE. All the champions were made to look strong, and whoever walked into Fastlane as champion will seemingly head into WrestleMania as one too.

From start to finish, the card was thoroughly entertaining with all sorts of twists and turns. With less than one month to go, we now have quite a clear picture of what's to come at WrestleMania 35. We learned quite a bit about what lies ahead of us in the PPV, and here is what WWE told us, the fans, after the great show.

#5. Dean Ambrose leaving WWE isn't a work

This one is a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of WWE fans. They were unsure what to think when WWE announced that Dean Ambrose wouldn't be renewing his contract with WWE. WWE even started acknowledging the fact on television, making many believe that Ambrose was, in fact, staying.

But this match had a certain feel about it. It really felt like The Shield's last stand. With the embrace at the end after the match, it now seems clear that he is indeed leaving WWE. That had genuine emotion to it, and if it is truly the end of The Sheild, it's a sad moment.

We have to say goodbye to one of the most dominant factions in WWE history. They truly changed the landscape of WWE, and all three were destined to be great singles stars. Hopefully, Ambrose is happy after his WWE run.

#4. A lot of multi-person matches

Since WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year, WWE has always had the mentality that it's too big of an event for anyone to miss out on. As a result, they make sure to do everything in their power to get every superstar on the card in some shape or form.

Because of this, not only do we have Battle Royals for both men and women, but we also have a lot more multi-person matches as well. After Fastlane, we can already confirm two multi-person matches that are happening.

Gable & Roode and Aleister Black & Ricochet indicated that they're still in the RAW Tag title picture, while the Women's tag title picture will most likely feature Beth Phoenix and Natalya reuniting to take on Nia Jax & Tamina and Sasha Banks & Bayley for the Women's tag team titles.

Expect more multi-person matches.

#3. Roman Reigns is still the main event

Say what you will about Roman Reigns. Love him or hate him, the fact of the matter is that there's no full-time superstar who gets the reactions that he does. What he proved at Fastlane was that despite having no real stakes on the line, he's still the main event of the show.

Sure, he's 100% not headlining WrestleMania for the fifth year in a row, but even so, when he's out there, it feels important. Post-WrestleMania, you can fully expect Roman Reigns to start regularly featuring in PPV main events.

Even if it takes a month or two, his rise back to the top is only inevitable. It's going to be interesting to see what direction they take for him. It's rumoured that he's facing Baron Corbin at WrestleMania, and while that's not a great match, it's most likely filler to heat Reigns up after the biggest season of the year.

#2. The RAW Women's title picture is taking a weird turn

So there was a rumour going around in the dirtsheets that WWE is constantly rewriting the RAW women's title feud week in and week out. This seems obvious at this juncture because the storyline is all over the place.

Granted, Becky Lynch's rise to the top has been extremely entertaining, but from what it seems, even WWE doesn't know exactly where they're going with the story. Ronda Rousey turning heel is a good direction, and though there's some confusion, there's still a lot of good that can come out of this.

Either way, hopefully, WWE makes the storyline consistent and smooth for the coming four weeks. This is supposed to be the biggest match on the entire card, and we firmly believe that it is.

It's going to be interesting to see what direction WWE takes as we wind down.

#1. The SmackDown side of the WrestleMania card is stacked

So here's what the WrestleMania card from the blue brand looks like based on the happenings of Fastlane:

Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston - WWE Championship

Samoa Joe vs John Cena - United States Championship

The Miz vs Shane McMahon

AJ Styles vs Randy Orton.

There's even an Asuka title defence, presumably a SmackDown tag title defence and more. The blue brand is set to impress on the grandest stage of them all. However, the WWE Championship match could still end up being a Triple Threat, because Owens never really got pinned.

Again, this goes back to the case of WWE wanting to get everyone on the card, but a Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan match is the way to go. Plus, it's the perfect opportunity to give Kofi Kingston his crowning moment at WrestleMania. Times are certainly exciting with less than a month to go!

Happy WrestleMania season!
