WWE Smackdown Recap: Heading to Fastlane

– The AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho match finish on the February 11th edition of WWE Smackdown was improvised, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com reports. Oh, and as a final handicap to Ambrose, Roman Reigns was barred from ringside, and his interference would not only disqualify Ambrose, but remove him from their WWE FastLane Triple Threat Match altogether. “It is insane because when Bryan and I landed in Seattle, we both were very emotional just thinking that this is the last time he is going to touchdown in his home state and a city that loves him, last time with WWE”, Brie said.

This was a great opportunity for Reigns to show he’s not just taking this match on Sunday as “just another” one.

Another rumor is that we could see a heel turn with Dean Ambrose.

Brie Bella was set for an exclusive interview in the ring before Charlotte and Ric interrupted.

Kevin Owens won the title again during the last episode of RAW and ignored Ziggler’s challenge for the title at Fastlane. WWE has 6 weeks to buildup the match properly and there would be so many ways to elevate the storyline. The company has spent so much time in recent months building towards a Triple H vs. Roman Reigns Mania match, that expecting us to believe we’ll see anything else is an insult to our intelligence. Superstars like Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and others will be in action. Reigns should show more fire and determination in getting into the main event at WrestleMania, and he didn’t do himself any favors here. When talking to ESPN the former UFC heavyweight and WWE champion gave some words of advice to the former women’s bantamweight title holder.

On Saturday, March 12, WWE will be hosting an event called “March to WrestleMania”.

On Paul Heyman’s role: “Without Paul Heyman, I don’t think my career would be where it is”. It seemed Roman Reigns was destined to emerge from the biggest show of 2015 as the champion, until Seth Rollins shockingly cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to win it all.

“She can do whatever she wants to do”, Lesnar said.

It was also announced Owens’ first Intercontinental Title defence will be against Ziggler at Fastlane on Sunday and The New Day will appear on the Cutting Edge Peep Show. Mark Henry by pinfall after Henry escaped a Big Ending attempt, but fell victim to a pin anyway.
