Previewing the Excitement: WWE Fastlane 2023 Card and Match Predictions

WWE Fastlane 2023 Predictions and Preview

Introduction

This Saturday, WWE brings Fastlane to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, featuring a stacked card with some highly anticipated matches. From John Cena’s return to action to the tag team showdown between Cody Rhodes/Jey Uso and Damian Priest/Finn Balor, there is plenty of excitement on the horizon. Additionally, the WWE Women’s Championship will be on the line in a triple threat match, and a tag match between LWO and Bobby Lashley/The Street Profits promises to be an interesting contest.

Cena & Knight vs. The Bloodline

The match between John Cena and LA Knight against The Bloodline’s Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa has captured the attention of fans. Cena’s return to television since WrestleMania, alongside the rising star Knight, is expected to be a significant moment. The Bloodline has been a dominant force, but a win for Cena and Knight could set the stage for a showdown between Cena, Knight, and Roman Reigns later in the year.

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship

The tag team championship bout between The Judgment Day (Balor and Priest) and Cody Rhodes/Jey Uso has been a feud that has been building for months. With tensions between Balor and Priest simmering, the addition of Drew McIntyre to potentially interfere and cost Rhodes and Uso the victory adds another layer of intrigue. The outcome of this match could shape the next chapter in Rhodes’ quest for a world title victory.

WWE Women’s Championship

The women’s championship match between Iyo Sky, Asuka, and Charlotte Flair is an opportunity for Sky to showcase her talent and charisma. Sky’s reign as champion has injected fresh energy into the division, while Flair’s act has become somewhat stale. With several fresh matchups and storylines awaiting Sky, it would be in the WWE‘s best interest to let her retain the title and continue to shine.

Latino World Order vs. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits

The match between LWO and Bobby Lashley/The Street Profits has garnered attention due to the reunion of Lashley and The Profits, forming a new alliance. While the LWO may be a midcard stable designed to boost other talents, it is still a relatively new faction. A victory for Lashley and The Street Profits would solidify their status and provide a strong showing for SmackDown’s new aggression.

Expert Predictions

The CBS Sports experts have weighed in on their predictions for each match at WWE Fastlane. Brent Brookhouse and Shakiel Mahjouri are in agreement on their picks:

World Heavyweight Championship

CBS Sports expert Brent Brookhouse predicts Seth Rollins will retain his title against Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura’s recent program targeting Rollins’ injured back has made for a compelling storyline, but it is believed that the appropriate moment for Rollins to lose the belt will come later with a different opponent.

John Cena & LA Knight vs. The Bloodline

Brent Brookhouse and Shakiel Mahjouri both predict Cena and Knight will emerge victorious in this match. With Cena’s contract with WWE coming to an end soon, a win for the heroes would set the stage for potential future clashes against Roman Reigns.

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship

Brookhouse and Mahjouri also agree that The Judgment Day (Balor and Priest) will retain their titles against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. The possibility of Drew McIntyre interfering and costing Rhodes and Uso the victory adds an intriguing twist to the story.

WWE Women’s Championship

Both experts predict that Iyo Sky will retain her title against Asuka and Charlotte Flair. Sky’s fresh talent and potential for exciting storylines make her the favorite to come out on top in this triple threat match.

Latino World Order vs. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits

Brookhouse and Mahjouri both believe that Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits will defeat LWO in this tag match. The newly formed alliance between Lashley and The Profits has generated much interest, and a victory would solidify their position in the WWE.

Conclusion

WWE Fastlane promises to be an action-packed event, with several high-stakes matches that could shape the future of the WWE. From John Cena’s return to the highly anticipated tag team bouts, there is something for every fan. The expert predictions provide insight into the potential outcomes and storylines that could emerge after the pay-per-view.
