WWE Fastlane 2019 results: The Shield dispense justice for the last time ever at WWE Fastlane

CLEVELAND — The road to #KofiMania has seemed as uncertain as ever over the past few weeks, but New Day still rocks: Big E & Xavier Woods earned a decisive win over Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev at Fastlane Kickoff, potentially providing ya boys with some leverage as they attempt to strong-arm Kofi Kingston back into the WWE Title picture from

CLEVELAND — None of it worked. Not The Miz’s hometown good vibes, not the presence of good-luck charm George Mizanin at ringside, not even the signature daredevilry of Shane McMahon. The Co-Besties, a.k.a. the Best Friends, a.k.a. McMiz, are neither SmackDown Tag Team Champions, nor are they apparently even a tag team anymore. At the very

CLEVELAND — In 2018, Mandy Rose was the first elimination in the Women’s Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber Matches, and she seemed to be struggling to find her legs in the wake of Absolution’s breakup. Asuka, meanwhile, still hadn’t lost a match and was on the cusp of what looked like an inevitable march to the SmackDown Women’s

CLEVELAND — Mr. McMahon threw Kofi Kingston to the side of the road when he removed him from the WWE Title Match at Fastlane. At the event itself, The Chairman did one better and fed The Dreadlocked Dynamo to the wolves. After calling Kingston into his office and seemingly re-inserting him back into the title bout when he said that it was now

CLEVELAND —After the thrill of The Revival’s Raw Tag Team Title victory quickly soured with the agony of consecutive defeats, it seemed the “Top Guys’” title run might wither on the vine. But rumors of their demise were greatly exaggerated, as Dash & Dawson’s Triple Threat title retention at WWE Fastlane was vindication in every

CLEVELAND — Samoa Joe won the United States Title thanks to R-Truth’s attempt to emulate John Cena’s Open Challenge policy, and The Samoan Submission Machine seems to have instituted a policy similar to The Greatest of All Time’s: Anyone who wants an opportunity to make their name gets one. But where Cena’s Open Challenge was built

CLEVELAND — At the very least, we can put to bed the strange curse that has dogged Sasha Banks throughout her post-NXT title reigns: The Boss and Bayley successfully defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, marking Banks’ first-ever title retention since coming to Raw in 2015 and the first successful defense of the titles

CLEVELAND — It’s looking more and more like the differences between “The New” Daniel Bryan and “The Old” Daniel Bryan begin and end with the fact that his WWE Championship is made of burlap rather than leather. If you give him a limb, he will bend and twist it until you submit. If you leave your face uncovered, he will find a way to

CLEVELAND — Becky Lynch is going to WrestleMania. Again. For real this time. With a victory over Charlotte Flair, the pavement lining The Man’s stop-and-start road to The Showcase of the Immortals has finally hardened, and her path to a historic title clash with Charlotte and Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey is clear. Whether she can

CLEVELAND — A running concert from Elias at WWE Fastlane led to the most explosive of encores when AJ Styles and Randy Orton finally came to blows. The Living Truth had been rearing his head to insult various fan favorites — first The Miz, then Kofi Kingston and finally Becky Lynch — to say nothing of the city of Cleveland before he

CLEVELAND — Now that they’re gone, it’s fair to ask: What is The Shield’s legacy? Is it of three brothers in black who made their name dishing out their own variation of justice? Is it of three individuals who became each other’s own worst enemies the second they tasted success outside of the team? Or is it of three Superstars who
