SmackDown Match Cards & Predictions

Bobby Lashley vs Rey Mysterio

Bobby Lashley & Street Profits had developed a feud with LWO three weeks ago, where they interrupted LWO’s segment and tried to prove their dominance. They defeated Wilde and Del Toro the same night and attacked Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar. Two weeks later, Rey Mysterio & Escobar defeated the Street Profits, which made Lashley lose hope on Profits.

Last week the Street Profits once again attacked them to regain the hope, which made LWO challenge Lashley & Profits for a Six-Man Tag Team match at Fastlane. Ahead of Fastlane, the veterans of both the factions will go one-on-one this week.

As per speculations, the match could end in a disqualification by the interruption of Street Profits and LWO. Post-match could witness the third member of Team LWO.

Austin Theory vs Dragon Lee

As per speculations, Dragon Lee will pull-out an upset by defeating Austin Theory by roll up. This feud is expected to last for about a month until Crown Jewel.

Asuka & Charlotte Flair vs Bayley & IYO SKY

IYO SKY would be defending her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair & Asuka at Fastlane in a Triple Threat match, by the announcement of Bayley. However, IYO would team up with Bayley and face her challengers for Fastlane.

As per speculations, Charlotte Flair & Asuka will win the match by pinning Bayley to create the hype for the match and making the WWE Universe believe that title is in a major risk.
