WWE Fastlane 2017 Results: Best and Worst Moments
WWE.com
Worst: Roman Reigns. Again.
When will we learn? This guy’s not going away. No matter who rises up and gets over, even more over than Reigns, they will fall to The Guy. The Guy with the look. The Guy with the marketability. The Guy that they picked.
Braun Strowman came into this match insanely over. He’ll probably survive, but he’s blemished now. He can never go back to being unbeaten. He lost his first match on what amounts to a filler PPV before WrestleMania.
The only thing they gave Strowman was the spear. Reigns’ spear is largely protected, but Strowman kicked out of the first one he received at Fastlane. Two was too many, though.
Strowman looked like a monster in this match, but, with his inability to keep Reigns down, that will only get him so far.
WWE had an out too. They could’ve brought in The Undertaker. They could’ve found a way to keep Strowman unbeaten, while not having him pin Reigns clean. They opted to go another route, and that could prevent them from seeing big financial returns from Strowman in the future.
