2023 WWE Fastlane Predictions and Preview

Introduction

The highly anticipated WWE Fastlane pay-per-view event is set to take place this Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. With an exciting card filled with major matchups and thrilling storylines, wrestling fans around the world are eagerly waiting to see who will emerge victorious. In this article, we will provide a detailed preview of each match, along with predictions from CBS Sports experts. Let’s dive in and explore the exciting lineup of matches for WWE Fastlane 2023.

World Heavyweight Championship

In the World Heavyweight Championship match, the reigning champion Seth Rollins will defend his title against the formidable Shinsuke Nakamura. WWE has done an incredible job building Nakamura as a legitimate threat to the championship. Despite Nakamura targeting Rollins’ back injury, it is unlikely that he will be able to dethrone Rollins at this moment. Rollins is a proven face of Raw and will retain his title.

Prediction: Seth Rollins retains the World Heavyweight Championship.

John Cena & LA Knight vs. The Bloodline

One of the most highly anticipated matches of the night features the dynamic duo of John Cena and LA Knight taking on the formidable duo of Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa from The Bloodline. WWE seems ready to give Knight his breakout moment, and pairing him with the legendary John Cena is the perfect opportunity. Although The Bloodline has elevated its members, it is time for them to face a loss and give Cena and Knight the win. This victory will set the stage for potential matchups against Roman Reigns later in the year.

Prediction: Cena & Knight emerge victorious.

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match features The Judgment Day, consisting of Finn Balor and Damian Priest, defending their titles against the challenging team of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. The ongoing tensions between Balor and Priest add an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup. However, it is likely that Drew McIntyre, who has been showing signs of turning heel, will interfere and cost Rhodes and Uso the win. This outcome will set up an intriguing program for Rhodes and his next rival on the road to a world title victory.

Prediction: The Judgment Day retains their titles.

WWE Women’s Championship

The WWE Women’s Championship will be on the line in a triple threat match featuring the current champion, IYO SKY, defending against Asuka and Charlotte Flair. SKY has breathed new life into the women’s division and has the potential for fresh matchups and storylines. Asuka’s run as champion has not been remarkable, and Flair’s act has grown stale. It is only fitting to let SKY continue her reign and shine as the women’s champion.

Prediction: IYO SKY retains the WWE Women’s Championship.

Latino World Order vs. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits

Finally, we have a tag team match between Latino World Order (LWO) and the newly formed team of Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. Although LWO has proven to be a formidable midcard stable, it is clear that they are primarily used to enhance other talents. On the other hand, Lashley and The Street Profits are a fresh and powerful force in the SmackDown roster. While the match will be competitive, it is expected that Lashley and The Street Profits will come out on top in a strong showing.

Prediction: Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits win.

Conclusion

WWE Fastlane 2023 promises to be an exhilarating event, with thrilling matches and captivating storylines. From the World Heavyweight Championship match to the tag team battles, fans can expect an action-packed night of professional wrestling. While the CBS Sports experts have provided their predictions, wrestling is an unpredictable world, and anything can happen inside the ring. So, get ready, sit back, and enjoy the excitement that WWE Fastlane has to offer.
