Pretty ironic that a PPV called Fastlane, held in Indy, might be headlined by a Last Man Standing match - generally one of the most slow paced match types and one where there are massive lulls in action. There are ways you can make them dynamic and fast-paced, but I'm going to guess this is going to be a lot less Dijak / Ilja or Bryan / Starks and a lot more Styles / Nakamura.

Nakamura immediately collapses theatrically in the ring and the ref counts 10. Nakamura gets up and says he heard Seth’s back is doing better and wants his title match when HE wants it!
The commentators continue to talk about what a threat Nakamura is!

I think LWO vs Lashley and CO. is official.

One of my least favorite match stipulations. It sounds cool on paper, but as you said, in execution the matches are boring while we wait for the 10 counts.

Which 3 LWO members are in the 6 man?
Just have one of them taken out and Carlito replaces please.

If Cena isn't doing anything now, him vs. GUNTHER for the IC title would be a good match to gift the fans in Indiana since most of this card feels like lame duck matches, like Shin vs. Seth 2. According to Scuttlebutt, Cena and a TBD partner vs Solo Sikoa and Jimmmy Uso are going to main event. On one hand, it's the PPV debut of Jimmmy, on the other, Seth Rollins, as the holder of what is supposed to be the top belt on Raw, should headline this. It wouldn't be a vintage Cena run if he wasn't booked over the world champion

I'm perfectly fine with the Bloodline main-eventing because it means I can turn the show off without bothering with the Bloodline match.

This is such a nothing PLE; I say let the girls triple-threat Championship main event.

It is a historic PPV. It will be the 1st time ever that both Jey & Jimmy will be in separate matches on the same card.

It’ll probably be a perfectly cromulent show, but man it’s a weird-looking card. If they didn’t have to do it, they probably wouldn’t be.

If Nakamura wins, then WWE has actually made a good storyline, where the top face got complacent and lost his title and has to undergo a redemption arc to get it back.
But I'm fairly sure 90% that Rollins will win. Because WWE.

I still don't know why Hunter doesn't put mid-card title matches on these B PLE's.
US or IC would've been nice.

I think it’s a combination of this alternation thing (where one belt will be on a PPV one cycle and the other the next) and also using those belts as a TV attraction, as they’re the only ones not tied up in the main event.

Meaningless fact: I just realized this was the second time Nak and Seth have fought at Fastlane (2021 was the other match).
