Follow along with our live review of WWE Fastlane 2018.

After what seems like ages, the last major stop on the Road to WrestleMania is finally here. WWE Fastlane 2018 emanates from Columbus, Ohio. The SmackDown brand has six matches scheduled as of press time, with all four of the brand’s championships on the line.

In the main event, the match that wouldn’t stop growing will determine the WWE Champion. Current champ AJ Styles faces not one, not two, not three, not four, but five other superstars in a six pack challenge. Those going after the title? Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, and John Cena. With a chance to enter WrestleMania as WWE Champion on the line, this match should prove to be intense.

Charlotte Flair is also set to defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ruby Riott. For weeks – months, really, Riott and the Riott Squad have been a thorn in the side of the entire women’s division on Tuesday nights. But now, it boils down to a one on one match – Riott gets her title shot. Will Flair reign supreme as Queen once again?

Bobby Roode puts the United States Championship on the line against Randy Orton. The Viper has yet to claim the US Title in his illustrious WWE career. Can he top the Glorious Bobby Roode to complete the set of championships?

The Usos and New Day will continue their rivalry at Fastlane. Despite chumming it up for a bit, the two top tag teams on the SmackDown roster will battle it out. The Usos look to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championships and get on the WrestleMania card for the first time. The New Day want to again establish their dominance in the tag team division. What will happen at Fastlane?

In non-title action, Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura faces Rusev, and Becky Lynch and Naomi team up to face Natalya and Carmella.
