WWE Fastlane 2021: 3 things that shouldn’t happen at the PPV and 2 things that should – Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania moment on the line, 3-time world champion to return?

#1 Should happen at WWE Fastlane: Return of The Fiend

Randy Orton showed no mercy to the Fiend in their previous encounter

Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss are set to face each other in an intergender match at WWE Fastlane. This match is the perfect opportunity to set up ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt’s return, who has been away from television for three months now. The Fiend last appeared at TLC 2020 in December.

He faced Randy Orton in a Firefly Inferno match that ended with The Viper setting his opponent on fire. Since then, Alexa Bliss has been torturing Randy Orton on WWE RAW. From distracting Orton in important matches to making him bleed during promos, Bliss has done it all. A frustrated Orton now wants his revenge against Bliss at WWE Fastlane.

Orton and The Fiend are expected to engage in a match at WrestleMania next month. We have seen Bliss summon The Fiend on the Red brand, but they only teased the shadows of a tall figure. The creative must ensure that Orton is booked strongly at WWE Fastlane, especially if The Fiend is planning a surprise for his nemesis.
