The WWE’s final pay-per-view event before WrestleMania 34, is the SmackDown brand-exclusive event Fastlane that takes place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on March 11th.
Author’s take
Honestly speaking, the match that’s likely to have caught most fans’ attention, is the rumoured showdown between The Undertaker and John Cena.
Cena recently teased missing WrestleMania this year, however, given his star-power and the significance of his character in the WWE Universe, it’s likely that Cena could participate in some form or the other at the event.
