WWE Fastlane featured Roman Reigns beating Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles defeating Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens getting the win over Dolph Ziggler. In other words, the pay-per-view went almost exactly as expected.
Other than the Wyatt Family losing to the trio of Ryback, Big Show and Kane, this was an incredibly predictable show that played out much like your average WWE fan imagined it, but that’s not always a bad thing. Charlotte also retained the Divas title while rising stars like Kalisto, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch picked up some important victories themselves, meaning we’re one step closer to some up-and-comers getting a chance to shine at WrestleMania 32.
With the WWE missing a number of established stars, WWE Fastlane made it very clear that the company will focus on some different stars on the grandest stage of them all. The question is: Will it pay off?
According to The Texas Tribune (h/t WrestlingInc), the WWE wants WrestleMania 32, which is shaping up to be its biggest pay-per-view ever, to “have an economic impact on the (Arlington) area akin to an NFL Super Bowl and officials hope to draw a record crowd of over 90,0000 attendees to the event.”
Given that the WWE is still feeling the bite of the injury bug and many fans aren’t thrilled about Reigns’ spot in the main event, did WWE Fastlane do enough to help the company accomplish those goals?
