WWE Fastlane 2017: 4 Missed Opportunities

2. Where’s Undertaker?

Getting off the ground with the Roman Reigns vs. Undertaker feud for WrestleMania could have began at Fastlane. However, once Reigns vs. Braun Strowman ended, there was no sign of the Dead Man.

Bringing in Taker could have added some intrigure to this PPV, which lacked a necessary spark before WrestleMania 33. He could have been brought in to cause a no contest between Reigns and Strowman, or even appeared after their match ended. Anything to move the needle with their likely bout in less than one month, especially on a bigger stage than Monday Night Raw, which this is seemingly headed toward.

Maybe we’ll get Undertaker on Raw and move to their WrestleMania match, if WWE wants to capitalize on the added momentum for Reigns. He’s had plenty as it is since WrestleMania 31 (going back that far), so maybe there won’t be a rush here. But things should have at least started at Fastlane, especially with no big angles created coming out of the show for any feud.
