WWE Fastlane 2021 Final Match Card Predictions For The PPV

Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks for the Women’s Tag Team Championships

I think most of us agree that we didn’t need this whole manufactured tag team drama and Reginald’s involvement in order for Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair to have a hyped-up feud for the main event of WrestleMania 37. But when Vince McMahon is concerned, he wants to go all-in with his ‘Mania main events, so that’s why we’re at this point. As long-time WWE fans, many of us have learned that this is just Vince’s way of doing things, so we pick and choose our battles. I don’t like that Reginald is so involved in this feud because I’m leery about men being interjected into women’s rivalries (Sasha vs. Bianca is truly about who is the best, not about Reginald in any way), but it’s also not my place to be a key voice in this discussion.

So let’s get to the match itself. I’m really impressed with Shayna and Nia as a tag team, and they’ve been one of the highlights of Raw. There’s so much bad booking around them from Vince and Co. in the Women’s Tag Team Division, but Nia and Shayna keep captivating my interest because of their strong character work.

We’re surely going to see Bianca and Sasha lose this match. I’m open to a surprise, but if that were to happen, they’d have to drop the titles on a SmackDown before ‘Mania anyway.

So I’m most curious to see how they lose, how the finish plays out, and what this does to add to the WrestleMania match. That’s the key. If we’re going to go this route, WWE need to be adding to the match and not taking away a chance for another tag team just to add filler to a WrestleMania main event feud that didn’t necessarily need a tag title match beforehand.

Prediction: Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax retain

Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

We’ve seen Seth Rollins and Cesaro locked into an entertaining non-title feud on SmackDown, and that is 100 percent a WrestleMania-worthy match in my book. Cesaro and Rollins can have a show-stealer at the Show of Shows next month, so, hopefully, WWE save a place on the ‘Mania card for them.

Before Apr. 10, I’d love to see Rollins battle with his former Survivor Series opponent Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Fastlane 2021 as a precursor to the bigger Rollins vs. Cesaro match at WrestleMania. Nakamura and Rollins are two of the best in the business, and I would relish any opportunity to watch Shinsuke in a match against a major name in WWE. We have to savor every chance we get to see Nakamura in the ring.
