WWE WrestleMania 33: 5 Matches Fastlane Can Create

1. The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
When WWE Fastlane comes to us live from Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Sunday night, we will be a mere four weeks away from the Showcase of the Immortals.
While that is an exciting prospect, it’s not an obscene amount of time for some of the line-up’s high octane matches to be built up if they haven’t already started.

Those who appear on Raw and SmackDown Live every week will already be dropping hints as to what their roles at WrestleMania will be, but for a man like The Undertaker – whose annual match on the grandest stage of them all is still hugely anticipated – it’s not a lot of television time to organically weave a plot together with a new foe.
There is someone that The Undertaker has an existing beef with, however.
At the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns single-handedly squandered any chances of “The Deadman” headlining WrestleMania 33, when he eliminated him and followed up with bold words such as “this is my yard now” to add insult to injury.
This is not the kind of thing that The Undertaker is likely to forget, and there’s a very good chance that Roman Reigns will have to answer for his actions in San Antonio.
They say that turnabout is fair play, and a huge match like Reigns’ upcoming clash with Braun Strowman this Sunday at Fastlane will provide The Undertaker with the perfect opportunity to avenge his loss at the Royal Rumble.

It’s looking very likely that Roman Reigns will be taking on The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33, and if so, that match is going to be nothing less than an all-out brawl. As such, it should start just the same, with The Undertaker and Reigns exchanging blows all over Milwaukee to kick this rivalry off with a bang.
