WWE Fastlane Rumors: AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho Match Made; Other Confirmed Match-Ups
Rumors about the World Wrestling Entertainment's upcoming Fastlane event have been swirling around, which revealed some possible and confirmed match-ups for the night.
The said event is scheduled to take place at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on February 21st. It will be headlined by a triple threat match between former heavyweight champion Roman Reigns, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, and Dean Ambrose.
Other confirmed match-ups are the WWE United States Championship between former champion Alberto Del Rio and current title-holder Kalisto. It was stipulated for it to be a two-out-of-three falls match and will be part of the event's Kickoff Show.
An earlier report from Paolo David for Latin Post says that a match between former NXT star AJ Style and veteran Chris Jericho was being set-up for the same night as well. Styles went on to challenge Jericho during the most recent episode of SmackDown, which the latter has accepted. Both men also hold victories over each other, making it a fitting idea to pit them against each other. Their match has since been confirmed for Fastlane and it will be a singles match.
Another match-up, according to the same report, is a tag team match between Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch vs. Naomi and Tamina. The report adds that Banks and Lynch will also be involved in a triple threat match against Divas champion Charlotte at WrestleMania 32 on April 3rd at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
A six-man tag team match is also being prepared, involving Ryback, Big Show and Kane, as they are slated to go against The Wyatt Family with Bray Wyatt. The report did add, however, that Bray is also rumored to be facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32.
A divas championship match-up between champion Charlotte and Brie Bella is also going to be part of this event. However, Charlotte is expected to retain her title, as she is already slated to face Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 32.
There will also be a match between Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Kevin Owens currently holds the title.
