WWE Fastlane 2016: 5 major twists at the PPV
If only!You must admit things are looking a little hazy at the halfway mark on the Road to WrestleMania. Big draws injured, bankable talent rudderless and the danger of your biggest asset turning into your biggest liability leave fans circumspect despite the WWE promising a helluva show.As things stand now, there are just four matches confirmed – the main event between Reings, Ambrose and Lesnar for the WWE World Heayweight Championshipnumber one contender’s slot, a US title match between Kalisto and Alberto Del Rio, a Divas Championship match between Charlotte and Brie Bella and a Divas tag team match with Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch joining forces against Tamina and Naomi.Now, there’s a guaranteed success rate of 50% here, with the first and last mentioned being a foregone conclusion. There are a few more matches on the way, but let’s step away from the realm of the ordinary and delve into the gray dimension that exists between the monochromes:
#5 Yes!Yes!Yes!
While many are still in mourning over Daniel Bryan’s retirement, the setback presents Brie Bella with a golden opportunity. Mrs. Bryan now has a shot at representing for her husband and sister.
Nikki’s going through her own tribulation. The other Bella twin is trying to make a successful comeback after surgery for a neck injury that could deal her the bad hand that was dealt to her brother-in-law.
The closing moments of the match have Charlotte seemingly on course for another win, but Brie finds a second wind and looks like she’ll pull off the unthinkable. But daddy dearest always has his little girl’s back and tries a little wheelin-dealin.
But before he can, the head of the ‘Yes’ movement runs out and lays out Flair with a vicious kick. Charlotte, aghast at the sight of her Hall of Famer father knocked senseless by a retiree, forgets about Brie, who connects with the Knee+ for the win.
Brie and Daniel celebrate on each turnbuckle to roaring ‘Yes’ chants to mark a memorable title reign.
