3 things WWE should avoid doing at FastLane
With less than 50 days remaining for WrestleMania 35, the match card for the biggest stage of them all is getting clearer with each passing day.
Now that Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber are already in the record books, WWE only has one big stop left before WrestleMania arrives. These last two PPVs were booked quite nicely, and the fans would be expecting a solid Fastlane PPV as well.
Fastlane has never been a top-notch PPV. The last editions of Fastlane have been more or less like just a warm-up for the biggest PPV of the year. The only memorable thing that has ever happened on Fastlane is Goldberg winning the Universal Championship a couple of years ago.
But this year, all this could change. With a couple of exciting bouts booked and rumoured to be booked at the PPV, this year might just give us the best Fastlane PPV till date.
The only thing that can ruin it is terrible booking. Something WWE is known to do very often.
In this article, let's take a look at the 3 things WWE should avoid doing at the PPV. This would not just make the PPV better, but also set things up nicely for the grandest stage of them all.
#1 No United States Championship Match
Remember the time when John Cena used to defend the US Title in his open challenge every week, putting on great matches and uplifting the status of the title.
Gone are those glory days of the US Title. It's correctly said that the Champion makes the Title and not the other way around.
The US Title has lost all its prestige in the last year, hardly getting any TV time these days. First Shinsuke Nakamura had a stale reign as the US Champ, then Rusev. Currently, R-Truth is the US Champ, and ever since winning the title, he's been off TV.
It would be a huge mistake from WWE's side if they don't have a US Title match at Fastlane, as they don't have much time to start building towards a proper feud and match for the Championship at WrestleMania.
