The WWE "Raw" superstars will be in action on Sunday at the 2017 "Fastlane" pay-per-view. This latest event will be held at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with Goldberg vs. Kevin Owens as the main event match. The two pro wrestling stars will compete over Owens' WWE Universal Championship. Also on the card, the women's title, tag team titles, and Cruiserweight titles are on the line. Also, Roman Reigns, Braun Stowman, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax will all be in action. Here's a look at the latest WWE "Fastlane" 2017 predictions and rumors for what's coming in the future based on the "Monday Night Raw" brand's event.
'Fastlane' match predictions
Two championships will remain with their current owners, while two others look like they should change hands ahead of "WrestleMania 33." The titles that seem like safe bets to stay around the waists of their current owners are Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson's tag team titles as well as Neville's Cruiserweight title. Their challengers will be the team of Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and WWE Cruiserweight star Jack Gallagher.
The two championships that seem ready to change hands are the WWE Raw Women's title and the WWE Universal title. Charlotte Flair is undefeated at pay-per-view events, so it makes sense that she'll keep that record going and defeat Bayley for the belt.
That will give Charlotte the title heading towards "Mania."
Regarding the WWE Universal title, Goldberg has been a heavy favorite to walk out of "Fastlane" as champion ever since he announced he'd be taking on Kevin Owens at the event. It's expected that with Owens dropping the title, it sets up some sort of fight between him and former "best friend" Chris Jericho up for "WrestleMania."
Samoa Joe also seems like a strong favorite to win against Sami Zayn.
In the remaining matches, it may be anyone's guess. Sasha Banks probably will defeat Nia Jax so that Sasha joins the discussion for who should be No. 1 contender for the women's title. Meanwhile, the "Big Dog" Roman Reigns takes on Braun Strowman. This match feels like a toss up that could feature one of the big moments of the night.
'Fastlane' PPV rumors?
With Reigns set to challenge Strowman, it seems like this could be a match where The Undertaker shows up in the ring. Fans who saw the "Royal Rumble" PPV saw Reigns eliminate "The Deadman" and Taker give him a death stare from outside the ring. That was the last that was seen of Undertaker, but it seems his return and set up for a "WrestleMania" match has to be coming soon.
Another match that could see outside interference is the bout. Since it involves Goldberg vs. Kevin Owens, these two each have different rivals who could get involved during the match. Will Chris Jericho or Brock Lesnar show up, or maybe both? It seems likely that something will happen before the PPV is over.
WWE's "Fastlane" PPV arrives on Sunday night at 8 p.m. Eastern Time and will certainly help pave the roadway to "WrestleMania 33" for the coming weeks.
