On March 11 at Cleveland, Ohio, WWE presents the final pay-per-view before the WrestleMania event.

Fastlane will feature several incredible matches. The Shield will team up one more time to take on the trio of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin.

The WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, will take on Kevin Owens for the title. Becky Lynch will face Charlotte Flair to earn a spot at the Women's Championship match at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and Asuka will defend her SmackDown women's title against Mandy Rose.

While the buildup to all the matches was good to great, Fastlane will deliver on the section of match quality.

So without further ado, let's take a look at the 3 biggest things WWE could be planning for the Fastlane PPV.


#1 The Miz turns on Shane McMahon

After a few months of buildup, The Miz and Shane McMahon eventually became tag-team partners and won the tag-team championship at the Royal Rumble 2019 pay-per-view.

The Usos then challenged the duo for the titles, and a match was made for the Elimination Chamber event. The Usos defeated them and regained the tag team gold due to the lack of chemistry between the tag team champions.

The Miz went on a rant backstage and vented his frustrations to Shane McMahon about how he failed his family. The reaction on Miz's face told us that the heel turn is very near and he might be joining the dark side once again, and being a heel suits The Miz much more than being a white-bread babyface.

Since they will take on The Usos in a rematch for the tag team titles, we will have to wait to see if the seeds are planted at Fastlane.

After all, it is one of the rumored matches for the 35th event of WrestleMania.

#2 Dean Ambrose turns on Roman Reigns

In the middle of Dean Ambrose leaving WWE once his contract expires, so much drama has gone on in the WWE. The former Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, returned to Monday Night Raw and reunited The Shield.

In case you didn't know, Dean Ambrose turned his back on The Shield the night Roman Reigns announced that he has been dealing with Leukaemia for the past ten years.

When his heel run turned out to be a letdown, he started showing a shift in his character. He showed signs of a babyface turn for the past few weeks when he got in an altercation with Drew McIntyre.

Ambrose faced Elias this week on Monday Night Raw in a losing effort. Post-match, Roman and Seth came to convince him to re-join The Shield, but he rejected and walked away.

As he walked through the crowd, the heel stable of McIntyre, Lashley, and Corbin cornered Seth and Reigns. Ambrose couldn't see his brothers get beaten down, so he chose to make the save and reunite with them.

Since The Shield is scheduled to face the heel trio at Fastlane, and there is no match planned for either Ambrose or Reigns for WrestleMania, WWE could book them in a match with each other, and the seeds could be planted on the Fastlane event. All we have to do is just wait and watch.

#3 Xavier Woods and Big E interfere in the WWE Championship match

In one of the most shocking returns this year, Kevin Owens returned to WWE programming and replaced Kofi Kingston in the WWE Championship match at the Fastlane PPV.

While the decision was inappreciable, the return of Kevin Owens made the fans happy. As great as Kingston vs Bryan would have been, Owens vs Bryan is a bigger deal at the moment.

Now the biggest question coming out of the drama is what will the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania be? Will it be Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan or somebody else will turn out to be Bryan's opponent?

From the direction the management is headed, it looks like Kofi will finally be getting his big break, but how they will book it is a concern.

I think the seeds for this could be planted this Sunday with two-thirds of the New Day interfering in the main event of Fastlane. It will create a lot of interest heading into SmackDown Live and will also give us our match for the WWE Championship at the Grandest Stage of them All.
