The last stop before Wrestlemania is here and you can check out what happened during this event below. This is WWE Fastlane.

Kickoff Show

New Day vs SHinsuke Nakamura and Rusev is a match that makes absolutely no sense. We do get to see this match during the kickoff show and it feels to be a match to fill some time on screen.

Interestingly enough, by the time this match takes place, the crowd is already in the arena so it doesn’t feel like a match with no crowd at all. Of course, the WWE feels like this is a worthless match too, because they keep interrupting with backstage videos and conversations.

This match simply reminds me of the good old times when Nakamura was in NXT. I want those times to be back. Please don’t mess with Aleister Black and Ricochet too…Of course, in the end, we see The New Day defeating Rusev. Let’s just keep burying him.

Main Show

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

I just can’t get used to a babyface Miz. We need Miz to have his heel-turn sooner rather than later.

This match focused on attacking Shane. The Usos started failing and getting hit all the time, but as soon as they hit one punch, everything changed. We saw them making their great twin-combinations during this match.

At one point, Miz gets a double super kick and Shane saves him, but he remains inside the ring fighting until he gets taken out. At this point the referee paid attention to Shane while Miz hit his finisher and started the count, but the referee took a couple of seconds to start that count.

Will we see The Miz turning on Shane later on?

Right after this, Miz was going to be hit, but Shane saved him with a Coast to Coast against a flying Uso, hitting him mid-air and turning this into an amazing match. Now Miz tries to hit a Frog Splash but the Usos defend against it and pin him.

Of course, in the end Shane turns on Miz attacking him and his father. This is awesome!

SmackDown Women’s Championship Match

Mandy Rose comes with her friend Sonya Deville to the match, but will this be enough to beat Asuka? We certainly don’t think so.

Mandy has come up a lot since moving to the main roster. Her wrestling skill has improved significantly during this time. This doesn’t mean she is ready to take on Asuka. The entire match feels like Asuka just playing cat vs mouse and playing with her food.

Asuka wins after Mandy slips on the mat because of Sonya’s mistake.

WWE Championship Match

We see The New Day asking Vince McMahon to add Kofi to the WWE Championship match. He agrees and sends Kofi Kingston to the match.

At the time Kofi is in the ring, they announce the WWE Championship match will take place later on. Now we have a Handicap Match for Kofi against The Bar.

Handicap Match

How will Kofi do it? This is a handicap against The Bar, both at the same time, not a 1 vs tag, a 1 vs 2. The Bar is brutalizing Kofi. I can’t even understand why Kofi didn’t just tap out early in the match. He won’t be in shape for the title match.

In the end, it was obvious that he wasn’t going to win. But not only did Kofi get destroyed, his friends tried to help him and also got attacked by their opponents from the Kickoff show. The New Day was destroyed.

RAW Tag Team Triple Threat Championship Match

Let’s be clear here. Ricochet and Aleister have two of the best entrances in WWE. On the other side, Chad Gable doesn’t fit in that “Glorious” persona. The Revival is the only real team here.

This match was everything we’d expect from a triple threat tag team match. Dynamic, everyone having their moment. In the end, the champions retained, but got hit by Roode, Aleister and Ricochet. I don’t understand why this happened, because even the music at the end wasn’t Revival’s, it was Aleister’s.

Fatal Four Way US Championship Match

This is a great match. To some extent, we may believe it is an easy one for Samoa; however, the agility and speed of his opponents is going to be key to get that title.

We see a super fast match with everyone going with everything they have. Joe seems to be slower than everyone else, but that’s something we’d expect to happen. Keep an eye on Rey Mysterio. He is, after all, a wrestling legend, and he is ready to prove why.

We see a super hurracarrana being hit to Andrade. Zelina and Carmella get into a fight ringside. In the end, Rey hits a 619 on Samoa Joe, but Joe ends up putting Rey to sleep to retain the belt.

Women’s Tag Team Championship Match

The first title defense for the inaugural champions. They will fight against Nia Jax and Tamina.

Let’s be honest here. I got bored of this event after Kofi’s handicap match. The US Championship match was good, though, but overall, the event has been rather sleep-inducing.

We see Nia and Tamina hitting the champs with everything, and Bayley defending the belts with her life. Tamina was one of the powerhouses from SmackDown; however, I see a really weak version herself now. Easy to take down, easy to get her to miss. Not only is Tamina really bad as compared to her former self, Nia wasn’t even able to stand still when Tamina threw Sasha’s body to her for a Samoan Drop.

Then, it was Tamina’s time. Sasha threw herself from the corner to ringside, Nia was standing and holding her, but Tamina fell to the ground. This is disappointing from the challengers. Bayley ends up pinning Nia Jax to retain and this is the first time in which the challengers actually fight. This is boring!

Now that they are finally fighting, Beth Phoenix gets in there to defend Bayley. She hits Tamina and gets destroyed by the team. Natalya comes in to help but is annihilated as well. This is the birth of a new tag team for the division. Interesting how the most entertaining piece of this match was after it was over.

WWE Championship Part 2

We still have a triple threat match. First one coming to the ring has the best intro music of them: Kevin Owens. We truly missed him these months he was away. Second one is, interestingly enough, the champion, Daniel Bryan. What an awful belt!

The last entry in the match: Mustafa Ali! This is awesome!

The crowd is yelling to get Kofi Kingston. “We want Kofi!”. We do. I’m glad Mustafa Ali is here, though. I hate Daniel Bryan. This “Champion of the World” persona is stupid. Erick Rowan is being masterfully misused here as well.

The match itself is interesting. Kevin Owens brings some spice to the match. Mustafa brings amazing speed and Bryan is the perfect heel. All three of them have their moments in the match, unfortunately, the way Mustafa was introduced made the crowd not like him. People wanted Kofi. This is unfair hate against Ali.

I love how Kevin Owens brought the Stone Cold Stunner back. We see a fighting Ali, an interference by Erick Rowan, and Daniel Bryan retaining. No surprise here, besides Mustafa’s return.

Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch

We know how this all came to be. Lana was injured during the Royal Rumble match of her husband. She couldn’t enter the Women’s Royal Rumble and Becky took her place. Becky defeated Charlotte to earn a championship match at Wrestlemania either against Asuka or Ronda Rousey. Becky chose Ronda. She got suspended and the opportunity was handed to Charlotte. Now, Becky must re-earn her Wrestlemania match, but as a third entry there, turning it into a Triple Threat match.

Do you see why this is unfair?

The match starts with so much trash talk that it hurts. It doesn’t look like Becky will be able to win this time. She needs to pin or get Charlotte to tap out, it isn’t as easy as throwing her out of the ring.

Charlotte puts Becky in a half-crab position and for some odd reason, it doesn’t seem as if it hurt that much. You’d expect different signs of suffering when someone is hurting your injured knee. Is this injury real?

We see Charlotte dominating by inflicting damage to Becky’s knee. But when the figure 4 is ready, Ronda Rousey comes in, attacks Becky and gets her to Wrestlemania. Thank you Ronda!

This is the face of someone who accomplished what they wanted.

This isn’t.

Intermediate-ish

Elias plays a song. Lacey Evans appears, Randy Orton RKO’s Elias, AJ Styles hits the Phenomenal Forearm on Randy. The most enjoyable pieces of Fastlane have been outside matches. Interesting.

Main Event: One Last Time

The Shield’s last run is here. The crowd went crazy when they came back together to the ring. I wish this match was a tornado tag instead of a normal teams match. Still, this is rather good, and even against their differences, The Shield is working like the first day they were together. Flawlessly.

This wasn’t supposed to be easy. Drew McIntyre was able to stop Seth Rollins, and following him, his team was able to decimate The Shield. We almost saw a defeat for the faces, but Dean Ambrose was able to evade getting counted out and pinned.

We see action everywhere, this is crazy! Ringside we have Dean and Seth against Drew and Bobby Lashley, in the ring we have Roman against Baron Corbin. This is exactly what we were expecting.

The match went out of control and the referee isn’t even counting anything anymore. This is sports entertainment for sure. Seth hit the curb-stomp on one of the announcement tables, roman a spear ringside, then the triple bomb to Drew through the announce table.

In the end, Roman Reigns pins Baron Corbin and The Shield says goodbye with a victory.

This was a good run for The Shield. I know I won’t be the only one missing them as a team. Many people have been hating on Roman Reigns and The Shield for a long time, but tonight, everyone in the arena cheered for them. That’s not a reaction you get for anyone. This was great and we now have to wait and see whenever a new dominating stable appears to feel this way again.

Now on to the “Greatest Stage of them All”, Wrestlemania!

2018 WWE Royal Rumble predictions: Skilled picks, match card, rumors, location

WWE’s first main pay-per-view of 2018 will kick off the so-called “Highway to WrestleMania” because the Royal Rumble will go down Sunday night time on the Wells Fargo Middle in Philadelphia. Although not each title is on the road, the present ought to set the stage as WWE heads down its most necessary stretch of its yr heading into the “Showcase of the Immortals,” WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans.

So what’s going to we see Sunday night time in Phillly? Our CBS Sports activities consultants break down all the card, beginning with the three-match kickoff present and working via the top of what might wind up being a six-hour pay-per-view when all is claimed and accomplished.

Be sure you stick to CBS Sports activities for full protection of the 2018 Royal Rumble on Sunday night time. Subscribe to the In This Nook with Brian Campbell Podcast for immediate response from the present and full protection of WWE every week.

2018 WWE Royal Rumble predictions

Kalisto, Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik vs. TJP, Jack Gallagher & Drew Gulak (Kickoff Present)

Adam Silverstein: With no cruiserweight championship match on the present, this was booked. A ¯_(ツ)_/¯ is all I can actually give it. Maybe among the different cruiserweights — cough, cough … Cedric Alexander — might be within the Royal Rumble itself. This result’s meaningless. Decide: Kalisto, Dorado & Metalik win

Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. The Revival (Kickoff Present)

AS: Although The Revival obtained a squash win over unnamed jobbers two weeks in the past, it seems as if they are going to be squash match fodder themselves right here. It could make little sense for The Balor Membership to be in the course of a push and for Gallows & Anderson to lose this match underneath any circumstances. Decide: Gallows & Anderson win

United States Championship: Bobby Roode (c) vs. TBA (Kickoff Present)

AS: The U.S. Open Problem returns as Roode will defend his title in opposition to a yet-to-be-announced opponent on the kickoff present. Contemplating following usually are not introduced for the Royal Rumble — Jinder Mahal, Mojo Rawley, Dolph Ziggler — it will make sense to be a kind of three. In fact, Roode already had a program with Ziggler and beat each Rawley and Mahal on his solution to profitable the title. Who is aware of?! Decide: Roode retains the title

SmackDown Tag Staff Championship: The Usos (c) vs. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin (2-of-Three Falls Match)

Brian Campbell: For as red-hot as this feud began off with Benjamin and Gable executing a refined heel flip in plausible style, the previous couple of weeks have stalled out on account of uneventful reserving. Nonetheless, the potential for this to be a memorable match stays excessive. The Usos stay on such run that taking the belts off them makes a lot sense except this feud continues into WrestleMania. Decide: The Usos retain the titles

AS: The rematch to the rematch, this one needs to be the top of the feud (if The Usos retain) or simply the beginning ought to we get new champions on the present. The stipulation leads one to imagine it is perhaps the latter because it performs into the fingers of the “technicians” in Gable & Benjamin. Plus, if The Usos merely retain once more, who is actually left on SmackDown besides the Bludgeon Brothers, who’ve fully been off TV since a few squash matches a couple of weeks in the past. Decide: Gable & Benjamin win the titles

Uncooked Tag Staff Championship: Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan (c) vs. The Bar

AS: Sheamus & Cesaro lastly get their title rematch on the Royal Rumble, although the Rollins/Jordan workforce appears to be collectively for some time and certain wants the championship to ensure that their program to make sense. Then once more, they might additionally drop the titles and instantly begin a feud. With Jordan seemingly injured and the division needing to maneuver on from a pairing that was speculated to characteristic Dean Ambrose, I feel we see two title modifications within the tag workforce division. Decide: The Bar wins the titles

BC: This is to hoping that is the top of Rollins’ feuding in opposition to Sheamus and Cesaro, which has been happening in some type since July. Jordan stays the very best factor going from week to week on Uncooked, and the evolution of his unsteady union with Rollins has been good. With Ambrose scheduled to be out for many of 2018, there is not any cause to explode this championship pairing simply but, particularly contemplating Jordan and Rollins have every planted seeds heel flip of some form might be within the playing cards. WWE has quite a lot of instructions it will probably go over the subsequent two months as a way to end telling the Jordan-Kurt Angle story and Rollins’ involvement solely makes issues really feel extra necessary. Decide: Rollins & Jordan retain the titles

WWE Championship: AJ Types (c) vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn (Handicap Match)

BC: For a feud initially dominated by the involvement of SmackDown authority figures Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan, each have taken extra of a again seat in current weeks. With the main target again on the individuals, there was sufficient teasing about the potential for an uncommon co-WWE championship reign between Owens and Zayn to imagine it is a route we’re seemingly headed. And with another pay-per-view in March (Fastlane) to go earlier than WrestleMania, it is very seemingly Types might additionally win the belt again, organising a spin-off feud between “finest buddies.” However let’s not get too far forward of ourselves. The psychology of this feud hasn’t been sound, together with why Bryan justified making this a handicap match to start with (and why Types agreed to face each Owens and Zayn on the go-home episode of SmackDown). However one factor to look out for Sunday is whether or not the heel conduct repeatedly proven by Types throughout Tuesday’s important occasion proves telling relating to his future. Decide: Owens & Zayn win the title

AS: No method. No method can WWE bastardize the best title in sports activities leisure historical past additional after letting it sit on the shoulder of Mahal for six months. Co-champions? Are you kidding me?! This utter disgust towards the concept could also be tainting my prediction right here, however I merely don’t see how this occurs. If it does, it must come as McMahon tries to assist Types from getting screwed, however that feud actually occurred precisely one yr in the past. I simply do not see it. No method. Decide: Types retains the title

Common Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Braun Strowman vs. Kane

AS: This match has by no means made sense. Getting Lesnar and Strowman collectively within the ring isn’t usually a foul factor, although this construct has been an absolute mess. Is Kane merely there to take the autumn? Will Lesnar as soon as once more go over within the construct to an apparent rematch with Reigns? The rest could be a legit shock, although I suppose Strowman might win the title solely to lose it again to Lesnar or setup a triple menace at WrestleMania 34. In the end although, I feel WWE and Vince McMahon stick to their Lesnar-Reigns plan with Reigns profitable a shot at Elimination Chamber. Decide: Lesnar retains the title

BC: Something however a Lesnar victory right here could be a serious shock contemplating the plans we predict WWE has had for a full yr of matching “The Beast” in opposition to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. The ending of Monday’s go-home episode of Uncooked appeared to verify that as Strowman stood tall after slamming Lesnar via the announce desk. Not solely has the construct to this feud been an unbelievable disappointment (save for Strowman’s comical moments of harmful violence), the inclusion of 50-year-old Kane has been nothing wanting gratuitous, annoying and clear. “The Massive Crimson Monster” is barely within the match to guard Strowman from having to lose clear to Lesnar once more. It finally begs the query of why WWE even booked this feud to start with and why it stubbornly caught with it within the face of damaging public response. Decide: Lesnar retains the title

Girls’s Royal Rumble Entrants (18/30): Asuka, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Bayley, Naomi, Natalya, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Tamina Snuka, Lana, Carmella, Becky Lynch, Dana Brooke, Alicia Fox

BC: With 12 spots nonetheless not but introduced, the prospect of shock returns and divulges stays excessive. Nothing has produced extra buzz than rumors of former UFC champion Ronda Rousey making her official debut. Whereas an look of any form from Rousey has grow to be each anticipated and extremely anticipated, it might show smarter for WWE to delay the reveal of her first match to WrestleMania and easily have her carry out a run-in of some form on Sunday. Both method, it would not be out of the query to see Rousey escalate upon the seeds that have been planted by WWE in July for a 4 Horsewomen feud in opposition to Charlotte Aptitude. One might additionally guess Corridor of Famers like Lita, Trish Stratus and Beth Phoenix might make an look, together with Stephanie McMahon. 

So far as who will win, the large tease of late surrounding Asuka has felt a bit too apparent. Contemplating titleholders Aptitude and Alexa Bliss aren’t anticipated to be within the match, the largest remaining identify to present the historic victory to is Sasha Banks. This might additionally plant the seeds towards a WrestleMania feud in opposition to Asuka ought to she defeat Bliss for the Uncooked title over the subsequent two months. Decide: Banks wins

AS: Proper on right here. We’re being led to imagine Asuka is actually the one one that can win this match, however little will we neglect that Banks simply ate a clear loss to Sonya Deville on Uncooked a pair weeks in the past. You recognize what which means! The reality is that Banks must win this as a result of WWE wants its first ladies’s Royal Rumble winner to be marketable and in a position to carry herself on the mic. I like Asuka a ton and assume the language barrier is a bit overstated along with her, however she’s not the appropriate individual to win the first-ever ladies’s Rumble. Lynch is unquestionably one other legit possibility, and it will power a pal vs. pal feud with Aptitude at WrestleMania. When it comes to the particular entrants, Lita is a should. Honestly, Stratus actually needs to be one as properly. It could be cool to see NXT coach Sara Del Ray get an opportunity, however with the followers not understanding her, that is a longshot to say the least. Superior Kong/Kharma is who I might pop to see. Decide: Banks wins

Males’s Royal Rumble Entrants (18/30): Roman Reigns, The Miz, John Cena, Finn Balor, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, Elias, Baron Corbin, Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt, Aiden English, Rusev, Titus O’Neil, Apollo Crews, Tye Dillinger, Massive E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods

BC: It is tough to handicap this match with out at the least acknowledging how a lot the betting odds have modified of late in Daniel Bryan’s favor. A Bryan return wouldn’t solely be huge information unto itself, him profitable the match might give Philadelphia followers the pop they have been denied three years in the past when Roman Reigns received (and was infamously booed). However it’s tough to name this a lock contemplating Bryan’s real-life well being considerations, though a match of this sort might shield him from taking harmful bumps. Outdoors of Bryan, the largest query mark is whether or not WWE is audacious sufficient to return to the properly in Philly with a Reigns victory. Contemplating how a lot the earlier yr’s reserving has accomplished to create extra cheers for Reigns, this looks like a raffle that would backfire spectacularly. If Reigns does not win, organising a WrestleMania important occasion match in opposition to Lesnar, it is more likely the winner might be used to face Types for the WWE championship as a substitute. 

Beneath that body of considering, Nakamura needs to be a favourite. WWE teased the concept of a Types-Nakamura feud throughout final June’s Cash within the Financial institution match, even referencing their historical past in Japan. This appears to be the most secure and most reasonable thought. However do not depend out Dolph Ziggler and the truth that his present storyline — which noticed him win the USA title simply days after publicly complaining his lack of a push, solely to see him give it up and disappear from SmackDown — appears to be constructing towards one thing large. Decide: Nakamura wins

AS: Ditto to actually every little thing above. BC and I are on the very same web page getting into this match. Reigns profitable could be a real catastrophe, although it will maybe be comical to see WWE try and reinvent the end from three years in the past with Rusev sneak-attacking Reigns after the match was presumed over. Rusev being so rattling over makes him a darkhorse right here as properly, one that actually no person is speaking about. So far as what I need to occur? I might ebook Balor going over and the Types difficult him Monday night time, flipping the script with Types wanting a rematch after falling to Balor at TLC. Balor must forego his long-awaited alternative at Lesnar however would achieve this contemplating the budding rivalry. Most significantly, nevertheless, WWE must get its shock entrants proper this yr, particularly if it is winner goes to be lackluster. Decide: Nakamura wins
