Predicting the 8-match card of WWE Fastlane

#5 SmackDown Women's Championship: Asuka vs Mandy Rose

Touted as being "God's Greatest Creation", Mandy Rose pulled off a huge upset on last week's SmackDown, as she managed to pin The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka.

This earned her a title shot at Fastlane against Asuka, and we're in for one hard hitting brawl. There's almost no way that Mandy leaves the PPV with the SmackDown Women's title around her waist. Asuka will come out of this match with the title secured in her hands.

Lacey Evans' has been making regular appearances on both brands since the Royal Rumble, and there's a possibility that she will confront Asuka on the SmackDown after Fastlane.

Even though Evans' gimmick is of a sophisticated lady, she is an actual ex-marine and is a legit badass. Pairing her up with one of the most dominant athletes in the world will result in a match for the ages at WrestleMania.

Winner: Asuka

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
