Predicting the 8-match card of WWE Fastlane

#8 WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens

This match was the result of Vince McMahon abusing his power and stripping a deserving Kofi Kingston of his shot at the title. Kofi was awarded the match by Shane McMahon after his back to back incredible performances in the gauntlet match and Elimination Chamber.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Vince came in at the last moment to ruin everything for Kofi by gifting the shot to a returning Kevin Owens, just like he did with Charlotte and Becky on Raw. It's clear where this storyline is going from here. Bryan will pin Owens to retain his belt, most certainly after a New Day interference.

The New Day has promised that they will be at the PPV, and this is definitely a sign of things to come during the final moments of Bryan vs Owens. After the PPV, a month-long build can start that will end in a triple threat match at WrestleMania, with Kofi finally winning the big one.

Winner: Daniel Bryan

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.
