4) The Shield Won’t Reunite But They Will Agree To Work Together At Fastlane
The big rumor making the rounds is that the Shield will be reuniting on RAW this week. This was teased last week when Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns made the save for Dean Ambrose.
I don’t think that they will be giving us a full-blown Shield reunion here. I think that WWE is going to slow-play that. As a result, I think that Dean will agree to work with Seth and Roman at Fastlane but he will make it clear that they aren’t back together as a unit.
To me, it would be silly just to put them back together like nothing has happened. Have them hash out their differences over the next several weeks on TV instead of rushing into it.
3) Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Elias Will Be Announced For Fastlane
I see the Fastlane card featuring an 8-man tag team match: Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Elias.
Braun makes sense here since he has been feuding with the four heels for a while. I say they add him into the mix to emphasize that it is not a full Shield reunion.
I think that this match will get officially confirmed for Fastlane on the episode this week.
2) Triple H And Stephanie McMahon Will Take The Side Of Becky Lynch And Ronda Rousey
One of the main plot points on RAW right now is Ronda Rousey wanting to face Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania 35. Instead, Vince McMahon is forcing Ronda to face off against Charlotte Flair at the event.
I have a feeling that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are going to end up taking the side of Becky and Ronda. What I mean by that is they will push (to Vince) that Becky should be added to the match at Wrestlemania.
I have a theory that WWE is building a long-term storyline based on ownership of WWE. It will be Triple H and Stephanie vs Vince for control. On RAW this week, I think that we will see some seeds planted towards that. This will probably mean the McMahon family arguing about what is ‘best for business’. Vince will be on the side of Charlotte. Stephanie and Triple H will be on the side of Becky.
