WWE Presents WWE Fast Lane on the WWE Network is right around the corner and here's a quick preview of the only thing from the show that will matter.
Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns - Winner goes on to face the reigning defending undisputed God King WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar
The finale of the go-home Raw for WWE Fast Lane was actually pretty good and made me interested in this match. They finally found a style for Roman that works, which is being a silent and slightly arrogant badass - aka what he was doing with The Shield. Daniel Bryan meanwhile got to dip into his World Heavyweight Champion-era self and take a shit on Roman Reigns' Raw match by getting crowds to do YES chants seemingly at will. The show ended with Roman and Bryan brawling everywhere, leading everyone to declare...
Outside of Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns, everything about it looks like a glorified episode of Monday Night Raw. I mean, c'mon, the second most hyped part of the show is a promo segment between HHH and Sting to set up their eventual match at a different more important pay per view. They're going to build it up as a WWE vs WCW type battle I'm guessing, which is fine and all but it's practically the thing a lot of fans wanted Undertaker vs Sting to be. At least Hunter got to dust off his shovel a little bit and bury an entire wrestling promotion by saying that Sting disappeared for over a decade after WCW's collapse instead of acknowledging his TNA career. On that note, the search continues for former WWE superstars Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy.
Oh, Cena is going to fight Rusev for a title that hasn't mattered to Cena since the last time Big Show was relevant. Rusev is awesome and all, but nobody is going to care about this match because it's just another table-setter match for a bigger WrestleMania showdown.
Meanwhile, you all should be watching NXT because it continues to be a better product than WWE in every way. Hideo Itami seems like he's on the brink of going Super Saiyan every match. THE BOSS is now our NXT Women's Champion. Finn Balor is the most overpowered character in professional wrestling, and the last NXT special ended with a title changing hands due to a Mortal Kombat Brutality. NXT keeps delivering entire shows of entertaining television while WWE struggles to find a good segment of entertainment. While I haven't watched it myself yet, I'd also recommend you tune in and watch Lucha Underground because I've heard nothing but positives about it.
Speaking of NXT, let us take a moment to pay honor to the 2015 Avatar Rumble winner Tyler Breeze. You have saved this community from the uggos. We are all gorgeous.
