WWE Fastlane 2023 Preview: Here’s What To Expect

Fastlane’s five-match card features three championship defenses, each with its own unique storyline. It wasn’t exactly IYO SKY’s idea to defend her WWE Women’s Championship in a triple threat match against Asuka and Charlotte Flair, two multi-time champions who also happen to be former tag team champions together, but that is certainly what she finds herself doing on Saturday thanks to the machinations of her Damage CTRL partner, Bayley. Meanwhile, in a battle of regular “Raw” main-eventers, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso attempt to take the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship from Finn Balor and Damian Priest, striking a blow against the new Judgment Day/Bloodline alliance. And in the world title picture, Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura duke it out for a second time, as Nakamura has sworn to break Rollins completely — and become World Heavyweight Champion in the process — via a Last Man Standing match.

Finally, the six-man tag team match between Bobby Lashley’s new faction with the Street Profits and the more established Latino World Order received a bit of a twist on “SmackDown,” as the Profits took out two of the LWO’s four male members, leaving them down a competitor. But Rey Mysterio made a phone call, and it seems like we’re in for a big surprise come Saturday (it’s probably not Bad Bunny, but it might be Carlito). Will the LWO stand strong, or will the Profits prove themselves to Lashley once and for all?
