WWE Fastlane 2017: Ranking Every Match in PPV’s History
12. Nikki Bella vs. Paige – Fastlane 2015
Nikki Bella vs. Paige came a handful of months before the “Divas Revolution” began in WWE. This saw the call-ups of NXT stars like Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks, longer match times, and more effort put into their feuds. So Bella and Paige just missed out on this during WrestleMania 31 season.
This Divas Championship match lasted five minutes, felt rushed, and served as a middle-match for two men’s title bouts. There wasn’t much important put into this along the way either, despite having Paige, who had been seen as the next star of the Women’s division. Bella had been in the midst of taking over the division too with her Divas Championship reign, but was neglected, along with the other women.
With a lack of time, Bella and Paige had little opportunity to impress and put on something memorable. With more ability to do so, maybe they could have, but since WWE held them back, they’re low on the list.
