WWE Fastlane 2019 : Every WWE Superstar who participated in the first edition and where they are now
WWE Fastlane has become a pay-per-view which forms the last stop before WrestleMania for the last 4 years. This year's edition of the pay-per-view will be the fifth time the WWE PPV takes place in the leadup to WWE's 'Grandest Stage of Them All'.
The first WWE pay-per-view took place in 2015. Given the dynamic nature of the wrestling industry, many of these Superstars are no longer in the same position where they were so many years ago. Again, there are a few Superstars who are languishing in the exact same place they were 5 years ago.
In this article, we will be taking a look back at the first WWE Fastlane pay-per-view of 2015 to see where the WWE Superstars who competed there are now.
#1 The Authority (Kane, Big Show, Seth Rollins) w/Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury vs Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan, and Ryback
The first match of WWE Fastlane 2015 was between The Authority and the team of Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan, and Ryback.
The Authority won the Six-Man tag team match. Let's take a look at each participant of this match and where they are now.
Kane: The Big Red Machine has taken a step back from the regular in-ring competition, appearing more on a part-time basis. He last appeared at the WWE Crown Jewel event, where he teamed up with The Undertaker to take on D-Generation X. Glenn 'Kane' Jacobs is also the elected Mayor of Knox County.
Big Show: While The Big Show is still signed with WWE, he hardly competes in the ring. His role in WWE is more as an ambassador, promoting social causes, and as a personality backstage.
Seth Rollins: Seth Rollins has only grown since WWE Fastlane 2015. Currently, he is set to compete against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Before that, however, he is set to team up with Shield to take on Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley at Fastlane 2019.
J&J Security: Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury were paired together as part of the Authority. Currently, Jamie Noble is still contracted to WWE as a producer. Joey Mercury left WWE in 2017 and returned to the independent scene. Now, he is contracted to Ring of Honor.
Erick Rowan: Since WWE Fastlane 2015, Erick Rowan has had on-and-off success as a Tag Team and singles star. Currently, he is paired with 'The New' Daniel Bryan as his muscle man.
Dolph Ziggler: Dolph Ziggler has been one of the most regular performers in WWE. However, currently, he is taking time away from the company to pursue his love for Standup Comedy.
Ryback: One of the more controversial WWE figures, Ryback never got the consistent push that he was looking for in the company. Since then, he has returned to the independent scene. He runs his own podcast, nutrition supplement line, and has written a self-help book.
