The most obvious replacement for Fastlane would be the Elimination Chamber, which held the February slot for five years. After all, the Elimination Chamber, with its unique construction and rules, is the exact opposite of the nondescript Fastlane event.
Reportedly, the reason the WWE replaced the Chamber because the structure itself can only be used in certain arenas.
