In-depth Predictions/Other elements
for WWE Fastlne 2021 by AverageMansReviews
Just a quick heads up/Warning: these matches may be in the wrong order and warning there
is a racial component in this content, apologies for that but it will make
sense.
Bianca Belair & the SmackDown
Women's Champion Sasha Banks vs. the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax
& Shayna Baszler [with Reginald:] Tag Team for the WWE Women's Tag Team
Championships; my pick is Nia Jax & Shayna
Baszler; but to be honest they may as well get rid of these Championships, I
mean they have been around roughly two years plus at this point and the
hierarchy just don't care about them so I do like Tag Team wrestling of any
gender, but these Championships are a joke right alongside the 24/7
Championship. Before I receive any kind of backlash for what I have said so
far; here is a Golden reason why I have completely changed on these
Championships and as soon as I say it; you will say "I can't argue with
that."
The NXT Women's Championships; basically
you know when they said we would have the WWE Women's Championships being
defended over three different Brands and that hasn't been delivered which the
WWE not delivering on something is nothing new, so I am not angry with NXT or
the hierarchy down there, because quite frankly who wants these tainted garbage
WWE Women's Tag Team Championships anyway? I prefer the idea of NXT having
their own versions anyway now we aren't going to get what they said to begin
with and they haven't done anything to put any prestige in these WWE Women's
Championships over the past two years plus [yes I am aware of the inaugural WWE
NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai & Raquel González being the
shortest reign, roughly being less than two hours on Wednesday 10/03/2021, I
don't mind this because for the rest of their careers they will have this
record would is going to take some beating somehow; they could do it under run
the gauntlet stipulation or 24/7 or Hardcore rules.] But I digress I mean they
had moments with the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Boss 'n' Hug
Connection [Sasha Banks & Bayley] with The Kabuki Warriors [Asuka &
Kairi Sane with or without Paige] or they could have really built these
Championships up and The IIconics [Billie Kay & Peyton Royce] at the same
time and the same can be said for Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross. But no they
gave up and gave another Championship to Charlotte Flair and now these
Championships are predominately going to be held by women that we know they
aren't going to hold the Raw or SmackDown individual Championships any time
soon coughing Nia Jax again; that is better I have cleared my throat, but it is
a crime that it is safe to assume for a little while and now Shayna Baszler or
Naomi; please WWE give Naomi a push yes at this point I would take any kind of
push, But for here and now this match is
just designed to put more friction between
Belair And Banks and that is it.
Warning Racial Component incoming!
Apollo Crews vs. the Intercontinental
Champion Big E: Singles Match for the Intercontinental Championship; my pick is Apollo Crews; Wow I have just done some
research on this new Nigerian gimmick for Apollo Crews and I really cannot put
here what I really want to say I should quickly add it is nothing and I do mean
absolutely nothing racist [even though the things I will be saying are low-key
racism,] this will make better sense the more we go through this.
The first thing I did on seeing this
gimmick for the first time [I mean I was already hearing things about this
gimmick] but laughing quickly followed by stronger versions of what the hell,
seriously what the hell WWE?! For those that are young, I can reassure you in
this day and age this kind of gimmick isn't going to end well for Crews or the
WWE, I mean I was going to say I can't believe it but then again this is the
WWE I am talking about so I shouldn't be surprised.
The WWE could get away with it in the
1980's and the 1990's with these kinds of gimmicks of Heel gimmicks of ethnic
or a foreigner or a different walk of life or anything which made you not fit
in, but it is 2021 and without getting too political across the world I think
we can all agree at best it is a fragile situation with equality at the moment.
So I can just see massive, upon
massive problems at some point down the line with this Crews gimmick but with
the WWE it isn't a case of if they put their foot in their mouth it is just
more of a case of when they put their foot in their mouth and how often case
and point they have already had Crews come out holding a spear and being
flanked by two Nigerian soldiers and not forgetting putting on a Nigerian
accent [Friday 05/03/2021.]
This is one of those occasions where
I am now very concerned when Crews as any feud with anyone which is of a
different ethnic background, it is going to be like the forbidden apple on the
tree in The Garden of Eden, because whenever you have two performers of two
noticeable heights one being shorter than the other the WWE often go to this
for a little bit or some content in their feuds and as I have already
illustrated in the 1980's and the 1990's foreigners equal Heels; yes I
originally went for Big E to retain his Championship, but it dawned on me they
wouldn't repackage Crews this drastically without giving him some kind of push,
I know I have said this already but this entire situation with Crews is just
going to be a train wreck, but if the WWE are okay with making Hulk Hogan one
of the hosts of WrestleMania 37/2021 alongside Titus O'Neil [which I believe
this is just going to be another train wreck and I am just hoping O'Neil either
does one of the nights or they have them individually on screen, because it is
true I am not a fan of O'Neil. But even I can clearly see he deserves much
better not to be in this situation to begin with or at all, I would have put
Booker T. and Titus O'Neil as the hosts this year of WrestleMania and had this
running joke of Booker T. going through all of his wrestling gimmicks in his
career over the two nights when he is on screen, I know this would require some
costume changes at some points/gimmick changes as well, but still it would be
fun/funny and have O'Neil be this stable presenter; you know you have one
comedy goofy presenter and one stable one,] but I guess if Hulk Hogan is okay
this gimmick change for Crews is likewise okay as well [for those that cannot
pick up on sarcasm; I am being sarcastic here.]
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Seth Rollins:
Singles Match; my pick is Seth Rollins; I know they
have gone with the narrative of Rollins going through Nakamura to get to
Nakamura's old Tag Team partner Cesaro, which I don't mind as long as this is
not a squash match for Nakamura and this match is given time, because it should
be an excellent match.
Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus: No Holds
Barred Match; my pick is Drew McIntyre; likewise
this match should be good, but it does feel like a stopgap feud, so after this
I expect the build up to begin between McIntyre vs. the WWE Champion Lashley at
WrestleMania 37/2021 for the WWE Championship.
RETRIBUTION's Mustafa Ali vs. the
United States Champion Riddle: Singles Match for the United States
Championship; my pick is Mustafa Ali; simply
because he has earned it on the grounds he has done of what I have heard and
seen little bits, he has done everything in his power to make this gimmick of
RETRIBUTION work and not only that make it into a stable/faction that has some
credibility and that should be respected/fear. So give him/them this Mid-Card
Championship so Ali and the other members of RETRIBUTION have something
positive to work on instead of getting so far and setting them back to rebuild
again. The only problem with this is if it goes away as I have predicted in
theory you would have two gimmicks holding the Intercontinental and the United
States Championship's which at this point even though I have highlighted as a
problem it isn't as long as they meaning the WWE hierarchy stay away from the
ethnic component [which they won't with Crews] and they probably won't give Ali
the United States Championship anyway or if they do they won't give him/them
the material/screen time/narratives/feuds to basically back him/them to do
anything positive long-term so maybe a transitional Champion at best, which Ali
is just too good for this treatment.
Alexa Bliss vs. Randy Orton:
Intergender Match; my pick is Alexa
Bliss; in short "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt will return to set up Randy
Orton vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in a cinematic match of some
description for WrestleMania 37/2021 [what the hell why not include Bliss as
well in some capacity.]
Daniel Bryan vs. the Universal
Champion Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman;] Edge as the special guest Enforcer
for the Universal Championship; my
pick is Roman Reigns; I know this company doesn't do long-term booking, but I
got this idea when I was watching someone else's content and they said they
don't see something happening. So I came up with this; it will be Edge vs. the
Universal Champion Reigns [with Paul Heyman] for the Universal Championship
with Bryan as the special guest Referee which he will call it down the middle,
by doing it this way it makes Edge the new Universal Champion at WrestleMania
37/2021 for this picture-perfect moment for Edge and the WWE, consequently it
protects Reigns with the loss because he can blame it on Bryan, so they can
continue this feud predominantly between Reigns, Bryan and the Universal
Champion Edge until SummerSlam 2021. Where it could be these three opponents in
a Triple Threat Match for the Universal Championship with the added stipulation
of if Bryan loses he will leave the WWE which Reigns will recapture his
Universal Championship [on a little bit of research Bryan's current contract
could expire around here, so this is a possible narrative and a good
Pay-Per-View for Bryan to finish his full-time wrestling career on, you see I
am under the impression when Bryan signed his current WWE contract it would be
his last full-time wrestling contract in September 2018, but as I have already
referenced it could be ending in the summer and not September.]
