WWE Fastlane is the final PPV (a RAW-brand event) before WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, and with Kevin Owens' Universal Championship on the line against Goldberg, look for the 'Mania card to start and shape up in very interesting ways.
Does Goldberg possibly winning the belt mean that Lesnar takes it at 'Mania and we get Brock as champ once again? Or does Goldberg retain against Lesnar and keep running with it? OR, will Owens somehow manage to squeak past Goldberg and defend his strap against Jericho? There are endless (okay, like three or four) possibilities here!
Strap yourselves in for a Sunday night full of flagship show fight as I live-blog everything here and live-tweet things over at @TheMattFowler. Roman Reigns will go up against the "monster among men" Braun Strowman, Charlotte will look to keep her PPV streak going as she challenges for Bayley's RAW Women's Championship, Samoa Joe will make his main roster PPV debut in a bout against Sami Zayn, and more!
Four very talented guys got in the ring for a high energy kickoff match that was more or less a disposable affair. Like most WWE cruiserweight matches, unfortunately, it didn't matter who won or lost here. This holds especially true given that Swann pinned Dar when it's Tozawa and Kendrick who were the two with an actual feud brewing. That being said, this was sort of a flat entry for Tozawa who's the "new face" to the main roster cruisers.
Side note: What's with the Austin Aries video hype packages they've been running lately? He's been on commentary for months now and there hasn't been an inkling of him entering the cruiserweight scene. If he did, it would almost step on Neville's toes a bit.
Winners: Akira Tozawa and Rich Swann
