Brie Bella vs. Charlotte
WWE officials have tasked Brie Bella to take on Charlotte for the Divas Championship. According to The Bleacher Report, WWE officials might be taking advantage of Brie's being in the spotlight after husband Daniel Bryan's retirement from wrestling. The website also opined Brie may not be the right match for Charlotte and is likely to lose to the reigning champion. In the event that she wins, it will surely be marred with controversies.
Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles
This scheduled fight is suggestive of a brewing rivalry between the two wrestlers. The Bleacher Report noted that Styles already had a throng of believers when he inked a deal with WWE and these fans are always ready to defend Styles, who is dubbed as "The Phenomenal One." In the event that Styles loses to Jericho, dubbed as "The Lionheart," the outcome will surely not sit well with his fans.
Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns for No. 1 Contender Triple Threat Match
The certainty of Reigns going to "Wrestlemania" this year has been in question when it was finally announced that he'd take on Lesnar and Ambrose, who are more popular than he is. The Bleacher Report believes, despite the possibilities that Reigns will win the match, the idea of him winning and taking on Triple H in "Wrestlemania" does not really excite WWE.
Meanwhile, Sports Keeda believes that Ambrose should win the match as his win will surely make headlines and stories even more exciting. One of the reasons cited by the website is that once he comes face to face with Triple H in "Wrestlemania," the latter could later force him to repeatedly defend his title on television and make his life miserable.
"WWE Fastlane 2016" is happening on Feb. 21 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and is a pay-per-view event.
