John Cena will team up with LA Knight to face off against Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso from The Bloodline at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday night. This matchup was originally supposed to be Cena and AJ Styles against Sikoa and Uso, but Styles was removed from the match by The Bloodline. Cena found a suitable replacement in Knight, who is quickly rising through the ranks in WWE. In another tag team match, Jey Uso will team up with Cody Rhodes to challenge Damian Priest and Finn Balor for the undisputed tag team championships.
A rematch between Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura for the world heavyweight championship will also take place at Fastlane. This time, the match will be held under Last Man Standing stipulations, with the winner being determined when their opponent fails to answer the referee’s 10-count.
Here is a look at the confirmed matches for Fastlane, which will be streamed live on Peacock on October 7, with the main card starting at 8 p.m. ET.
