WWE Fastlane 2023 full card
Finn Bálor and Damian Priest vs. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
WWE’s official preview:
At WWE Fastlane, Cody Rhodes will join forces with Jey Uso in an to attempt to unseat Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor & Damian Priest of The Judgment Day.
Rhodes shocked the world when he helped bring “Main Event” Jey to Monday Night Raw. After the destruction the former Bloodline member had been responsible for, it seemed almost impossible that anyone would even trust him again, save The American Nightmare and perhaps Sami Zayn. That was until the treacherous Judgment Day began to actively recruit the former right hand to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. When Jey rejected the offer, however, he put a target on his back.
After Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley returned to take stock of The Judgment Day’s shortcomings in her absence, the dark faction and JD McDonagh’s sudden volatile confrontation with Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes led to WWE Offical Adam Pearce making an explosive Undisputed Tag Team Title Match at WWE Fastlane.
Fed up with the Judgment Day, WWE Official Adam Pearce made the matchup with one added wrinkle: The showdown would be for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships!
Latino World Order vs. Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits
WWE’s official preview:
At WWE Fastlane, The LWO will be out for retribution when they go head-to-head with the nefarious trio of Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits.
From the moment Lashley recruited Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, the powerful faction has been out to take over Friday Night SmackDown in absolutely dominant fashion. In the course of their quest, they have had confrontations with the likes of The Judgment Day, The Brawling Brutes, The O.C and, of course, The LWO.
On the Sept. 15 edition of the blue brand, the outspoken Street Profits overcame Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde. Moments after that matchup, The All Mighty, Dawkins and Ford proceeded to beat down the defeated tag team as well as United States Champion Rey Mysterio and Santos Escabar. Two weeks later, just moments after a grueling United States Title Match pitting Mysterio against Escobar, Dawkins and Ford were joined by Lashley in another vicious post-match onslaught on the proud Latino Superstars.
In the wake of the chaotic attack, an irate Mysterio finally had enough. On behalf of The LWO, The Legendary Luchador challenged Bobby Lashey and The Street Profits to a Six-Man Tag Team Match at WWE Fastlane.
IYO SKY (c) vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s Championship
WWE’s official preview:
IYO SKY will defend her WWE Women’s Championship in a Triple Threat Match against two of the best and most decorated Superstars in WWE: Charlotte Flair and Asuka.
SKY has enjoyed an impressive reign as champion since cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Bianca Belair at SummerSlam, but it could all come to an end thanks to her Damage CTRL ally Bayley.
On the heels of Bayley’s loss to Flair on the Sept. 29 edition of SmackDown, Asuka hit the ring to challenge both the champ and The Queen, but Bayley spoke up instead, agreeing to the Triple Threat Match challenge — much to the shock of The Genius of The Sky.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the World Heavyweight Championship (Last Man Standing Match)
John Cena and LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa
WWE’s official preview:
At WWE Fastlane, John Cena will join forces with LA Knight in a battle against The Bloodline’s Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
The tension has been brewing between The Bloodline and “The Greatest of All Time” ever since Cena made his return to SmackDown last month. Cena came to the aid of AJ Styles, further cementing his combativeness with Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
Unfortunately for Cena, Styles was taken out in a backstage assault by Uso and Sikoa moments before they were to sign the contract for their match at WWE Fastlane.
With only three signatures on the contract, it looked as if Cena was on an island of his own. When Uso and Sikoa launched a vicious 2-on-1 attack on “The Greatest of All Time” the following week, LA Knight suddenly emerged to clean house and help John Cena repel the opposition from the ring. LA Knight then signed the contract to join forces with Cena against The Bloodline at WWE Fastlane!
