Grading every WWE PPV of the year 2018 (Part 1)

#3 Fastlane

Fastlane was good

Fastlane was the last Smackdown Live! specific PPV. It was headlined by a big six-pack match for the WWE Championship. It featured Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura versus Rusev as one of its headlining matches. Bobby Roode's biggest title defense and Ruby Riott's first shot at glory both formed a part of the card as well.

Positives

The main event was solid in which the right Superstar emerged victoriously. The Women's Championship match was also solid. It portrayed Riott as a top-level superstar for the future. Rusev versus Nakamura was the Match of the Night for many fans. It also forms part of the recent list released by WWE.

Negative

The US Championship match between Randy Orton and Roode never got going. The Tag Team Championship match was halted by The Bludgeon Brothers which made it feel so unnecessary.

It was a PPV with very little implications on the future of WWE.

Grade: 8/10
