The 2021 edition of Fastlane will be taking place on March 21st. This will be the final PPV event prior to Wrestlemania 37. WWE has now announced the first match for the event.
It will be Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair vs Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Here is what WWE wrote about the match on their website:
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair
Before SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks battles 2021 Royal Rumble Match winner Bianca Belair on The Grandest Stage of Them All, the two elite Superstars will join forces to challenge the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax for the illustrious titles at WWE Fastlane.Although Baszler & Jax may not always see eye-to-eye as individuals, the destructive tandem has personified squared circle dominance as two-time titleholders. But will they able to rebuke the combined opposition of two Superstars currently at the top of their game?
Banks has proven that she is, in fact, every bit of the “Blueprint” of the Women’s division as of late, and Belair has all the momentum in the world. The two overcame Baszler & Jax alongside sommelier Reginald on SmackDown, but the champions fired back with a win at WWE Elimination Chamber. But will they be able to work together effectively to conquer the champions with the WrestleMania showdown on the horizon?
Find out at WWE Fastlane, streaming live Sunday March 21 beginning as at 7 ET/ 4 PT on Peacock and WWE Network.
