John Cena is teaming up with LA Knight to face the Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at WWE Fastlane. This tag team match was originally supposed to be Cena and AJ Styles against Sikoa and Uso, but Styles was removed from the equation by The Bloodline. Knight stepped in as a formidable replacement for Cena.
Another highly-anticipated tag team match at Fastlane is between Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, who will challenge Damian Priest and Finn Balor for the undisputed titles. Uso has separated from The Bloodline and found support from Rhodes, but there is animosity between the teams that needs to be settled. Women’s champion Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio may also play a role in this match.
A rematch for the world heavyweight championship is set to take place at Fastlane between Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura. The match will be held under Last Man Standing stipulations, where the winner is determined by their opponent’s failure to answer a ten-count from the referee.
