![]() This might be the toughest title defense Charlotte has ever had. ![]() With Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan backing Riott up outside the ring, there’s going to be very little room for Charlotte to work with, and even less room for any kind of mistakes - if Charlotte trips up at all, Riott will be right there to punish her severely for it. Flair is already a legend of women’s wrestling, but Riott has a long and successful history of her own, performing at a high level in NXT after spending years as one of the best wrestlers male or female in the independent circuit. They’ve cut a swathe through the Women’s Division since their arrival, and it’s finally time for their leader Ruby Riott to make her first bid for Charlotte Flair’s SmackDown Women’s Championship. Speaking of intense, that might be the best word to describe the Riott Squad since their arrival on SmackDown Live after Survivor Series last year. Any match between these two teams will be intense and can see anything happen - especially with the Tag Team titles on the line. But the Uso twins have been through more brutal feuds since then, while the always-entertaining trio of Xavier Woods, Big E, and Kofi Kingston have had a chance to lick their wounds and learn from their mistakes. These two tag teams had a hellacious feud over the titles during the second half of 2017, with the belts trading hands several times before the Usos came out victorious once and for all. The other three title matches on the card are all affairs that we can easily expect to see turn chaotic, not least of which will be the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match between the title-holding Uso brothers and the longest-reigning tag champs in WWE history, The New Day. But Styles is a fantastic performer, and with Cena’s growing desperation, Corbin’s eternal recklessness, Ziggler’s seeming apathy, and the growing discord between Zayn and Owens, there might just be a way for a wrestler of Styles’ exceptional caliber to find his hand being raised at the end of the match. Facing off against Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, and late addition John Cena, the odds are heavily stacked against Styles to retain his championship. The main event of the night is not one that WWE Champion AJ Styles is looking forward to: a six-pack challenge match for his title. This is likely not going to change when they fight Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson at Fastlane 2017 because it seems like the WWE is probably looking to first build some momentum for the duo before giving them their big break.The Road to Wrestlemania is often one full of bumps and bruises and unexpected changes to the landscape of the WWE, and with one pay-per-view event to go before the wrestling world heads to New Orleans in April, WWE Fastlane could be one of the most perilous shows yet - especially to the Champions of SmackDown Live. The same has been the case for the duo since they were picked up for Raw in 2016. Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs (champion) Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (Tag Team Championship)Įnzo Amore and Big Cass made a name for themselves as a tag team at NXT but they never held the Tag Team Championship at the show. Gallagher has earned the right to challenge Neville for the Cruiserweight Championship after the latter won a Fatal 5-Way on 205 Live to become No 1 contender. ![]() Jack Gallagher vs (champion) Neville (Cruiserweight Championship) And if this trend continues and if Charlotte does win the title at Fastlane 2017 then the title will have been passed on nine times ahead of WrestleMania 33.

Now, Reigns will be looking to punish Strowman.Ĭharlotte Flair vs (champion) Bayley (Women's Championship) Roman Reigns lost his opportunity to become the Universal champion in the recent episode of Raw because Braun Strowman interfered when the former was in a title fight with Kevin Owens. The rematch between Goldberg and Lesnar was booked after the former defeated the latter at Survivor Series under 90 seconds. ![]() Goldberg is likely to win the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens because the wrestling entertainment company could be looking to hype the rematch between the former WCW and WWE champion and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMaina 33, which takes place on 2 April.
