WWE Fastlane 2016 Predictions

WWE United States Championship – Two out of three falls
Kalisto (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio
I’m not quite sure what WWE’s goals are with this feud. To have the title bounce back and forth so quickly between these two has left me quite confused. Nearly as confused as to why Alberto Del Rio decided to start sporting a footballers haircut this past week on RAW. I digress. We know that these two can have a good match, I just question whether there is a better match on the card which deserves two out of three falls stipulation other than this one?
Prediction: Kalisto

 

 

Tag Team Match - Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch vs. Naomi & Tamina
Sasha’s feud with her old teammates has recently turned her babyface and with WrestleMania just around the corner we have to imagine that a match for the Women’s title will involve Sasha and probably Becky. Therefore no matter how good an impression Naomi can do of Liu Kang whilst delivering those kicks, I still predict a loss for Team B.A.D.
Prediction: Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch

 

Intercontinental Championship - Kevin Owens (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
This match has been thrown together fairly quickly considering that Owens only just regained the Championship from Ambrose. I believe this match is designed to make Owens look a lot more credible going into WrestleMania. Whether that match will be against his friend Sami Zayn, AJ Styles or even another multi-man match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Prediction: Kevin Owens

 

Six Man Tag Team Match
Ryback & Big Show & Kane vs. The Wyatt Family
This match is purely designed to make the Wyatt Family look more credible going into WrestleMania. Presumably this will be something involving Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker (which I really hope is not the case). The Wyatts getting the victory here.

Prediction – The Wyatt Family

 

A.J. Styles vs. Chris Jericho
This is the match that I would have loved to have seen go two out of three falls instead of Kalisto and Del Rio. However, we should just be happy that we’ll be getting a quality match here which could potentially steal the show. I believe A.J. Styles needs the victory here just to continue his credibility on the WWE roster. Hopefully that will lead to him having a decent programme going into next month.

Prediction: A.J. Styles

 

WWE Divas Championship - Charlotte (c) vs. Brie Bella
This match just came out of nowhere. Sasha declared her interest in the Championship last month and everything seemed to stop when Brie got her surprise victory. Charlotte is obviously favourite here as this feels like a stepping stone to WrestleMania but there has been more crazy things to happen in WWE…

Prediction – Charlotte

 

Triple Threat – Winner goes to WrestleMania to face Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose
Since last November, it’s looked like Triple H would be facing Roman Reigns due to the injury sustained by Seth Rollins. We’ve had many ups and downs with Roman in the past couple of months, which have involved him winning the WWE Championship to Triple H getting back in to the ring. The match since then has always been Roman Reigns vs. Triple H. Now the title is in the mix and Roman Reigns isn’t getting the fan reactions WWE would like. So we have Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose added to the mix. To be honest, a potential match with Triple H for any of these three competitors doesn’t completely jump out at me as a main event for WrestleMania. However, we all know with a good build and good booking, it can all come together brilliantly. I think for now though, I have to go for the safe bet…

Predicion – Roman Reigns
