For Seth Rollins, his first singles match in four months ended in victory at Fastlane. He faced Shinsuke Nakamura in what can arguably be described as the match of the night at Fastlane.

The story was about Nakamura trying to get revenge on behalf of his old tag team partner Cesaro. While he wasn't able to do that, he gave Rollins one of his best matches in a while.

Ultimately, Shinsuke Nakamura fell short after getting hit with the Curb Stomp. It was all about respect for Seth Rollins, and he likely earned Nakamura's. The next target is clear - Cesaro.

There will be three episodes of SmackDown between Fastlane and WrestleMania, giving it enough time to build to a good match for the two-day event. Cesaro is injured in the storyline, but he will be expected to return post-Fastlane.

If the Rollins-Nakamura match was a sign of anything, it's that Cesaro could be involved in an instant classic WrestleMania bout.
