#2. Hope is true: WWE planning a Last Man Standing Match for Fastlane

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre faced off eight days after the latter lost the WWE title. While Drew McIntyre won on the first occasion clean, the second one ended with some controversy and a non-finish.

The two men are reportedly expected to have their blow-off match at Fastlane - and it will be a high-stakes bout. According to Bryan Alvarez on WOL, WWE could be planning a Last Man Standing match at Fastlane to determine Bobby Lashley's WWE title challenger.

WrestlingNews learned from sources within WWE that the Last Man Standing match could be for the number one contender's spot. This means that the winner of the Fastlane match will face Bobby Lashley in a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 37. The report adds that the scheduled WWE Championship contest for WrestleMania will be between Lashley and McIntyre.

We hope this is true because it's a good match with high-stakes - something that is desperately needed for the Fastlane pay-per-view. WWE hasn't done much to build-up the event at all even though it's just a week away.
