WWE Fastlane 2023 Predictions

We're on the Fast lane to Wrestlemania Survivor Series (?) – I guess WWE needed to put on an October PPV that is not a gimmick PPV (Like TLC, Hell in a Cell, etc) which is a good thing as WWE needs to distance themselves from that.

5 matches on the card (at the time of writing) with 3 titles on the line tonight.

Non-Title Matches

• Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar) & ??? vs Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits in a 6-man tag team match.

  • PREDICTION: LWO to win. The extra person for LWO is either going to be Carlito or Dragon Lee.

• John Cena & LA Knight vs The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa) in a tag team match.

  • PREDICTION: I feel there are going to be shenanigans with this match with someone interfering from The Bloodline...Maybe Judgement Day which is going to allow Jimmy and Solo to pick up the win

Title Matches

• The Judgement Day (Finn Bálor & Damian Priest) (C) vs Cody Rhodes vs Jey Uso in a tag team match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship

  • PREDICTION: I don't see any valid reason for the titles to change hands... unless there is interference from JD McDonagh which costs Finn & Damian the titles. Finn & Damian to retain

• Iyo Sky (C) vs Asuka vs Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's Championship

  • PREDICTION: Immediately, I am discarding Charlotte as she should not be anywhere near this title. Iyo and Asuka are going to be a banger of a match. I would like to see Iyo retaining the title but I wouldn't be disappointed if Asuka won.
  • Also, since there are rumours about Jade Cargill, I will predict that Jade Cargill will appear at the end of this match and square up to Charlotte Flair setting up that rivalry.

• Seth "Freakin" Rollins (C) vs Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship

  • PREDICTION: As much as I like Seth, I don't see any immediate future with him and the title. He has also been a workhorse for the last 3 years and it would be nice for him to rest between now and Wrestlemania. It would be great to give Shinsuke what he rightfully has deserved for the last several years and that is a world title! Shinsuke to win and become champion
