WWE Fastlane 2021: 6 superstars who desperately need to win at the PPV

#6 Riddle (Possible United States Championship match at WWE Fastlane)

Both these Superstars can deliver an entertaining match

The United States Championship match has not yet been confirmed for WWE Fastlane. Mustafa Ali challenged Riddle for the US title on the go-home show of RAW before the pay-per-view. Riddle ended up retaining the title after a distraction by RETRIBUTION member T-Bar cost Ali the match.

Following the defeat, Ali demanded another title match against Riddle at Fastlane, and he might get that opportunity. We expect that this would be one of the last-minute additions to the upcoming event.

Riddle has been feuding with Ali ever since the former won the title after beating John Morrison and Bobby Lashley in the triple-threat match at Elimination Chamber. Keith Lee was originally booked for this match as well, but he had to miss the event. It is expected that Lee will eventually challenge and beat Riddle for the title. Before that happens, the latter deserves to have a good run with the United States Championship, and a good title defense at Fastlane will help his cause.

This result at WWE Fastlane could also be a blessing in disguise for Mustafa Ali. Both him and RETRIBUTION have struggled on RAW over the last few months. His loss might finally prompt other RETRIBUTION members like T-Bar to challenge Ali’s leadership and create an interesting rivalry on the Red brand.
