7 things WWE subtly told us at Fastlane 2021: Edge makes a controversial mistake, 3 incredible WrestleMania matches confirmed?

#1. The bizarre return at Fastlane

He's finally here

Randy Orton vs. Alexa Bliss at Fastlane was always going to be an interesting affair. What we didn't realize was that Orton wasn't going to get even the slightest bit of offense.

Everything about the presentation was creepy and brilliantly done. From Alexa Bliss' horror-like face paint to the slowed and warped theme song, the match at Fastlane was well done from the get-go.

Orton had to face the wrath of Bliss and nearly got his face burned again and almost got crushed by the lights that fell from above. The biggest story, of course, was the return of The Fiend.

It was expected, but not in this way. Randy Orton's legs were being pulled from beneath the ring and The Fiend appeared. With a completely new and horrific look, he helped Bliss pin Orton to get the victory.

Orton is WrestleMania-bound against The Fiend - a new and even scarier version of Bray Wyatt. What will be the aftermath of Fastlane 2021 for Randy Orton?
