Fastlane is a WWE pay-per-view that began in 2015. As its name implies, this is the last pay-per-view before the pay-per-view itself, WrestleMania.The first event took place on February 2015, replacing Elimination Chamber. With the brand split, it became a Raw-exclusive event in 2017 and SmackDown-exclusive in 2018 before every PPV became dual-branded. It would later become a March event after the reinstatement of Elimination Chamber.After its one-year absence, Fastlane is reinstated, replacing Extreme Rules in October 2023.

Aborted Arc

Aborted Arc: Goldust vs. Stardust in the 2015 edition. That match is the one everyone was most excited for at that year's Fastlane, and most people believed that it would be followed by another match at that year's WrestleMania. Then the match, for whatever reason, turned out to be awful (complete with botched pin), and the feud was thrown out.

Disqualification-Induced Victory: Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair in this fashion after Ronda Rousey attacked her. This meant that Lynch was added back into the WWE Raw Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 35.

Meaningful Name: Typically, this pay-per-view is used to set up matches and feuds that will take place at WrestleMania. Which means doing well at this pay-per-view puts you in the fast lane on the road to WrestleMania. Bonus points for WWE referring to the period between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania as the "Road to WrestleMania."

Defeating the Undefeatable

comment
Defeating the Undefeatable: Kevin Owens reigned as WWE Universal Champion for 189 days until Goldberg defeated him for the Universal Championship at the 2017 edition, with a distraction from Chris Jericho. From 2015 to 2017, Charlotte never lost in a singles match on PPV. This came to an end on the 2017 edition, where she lost to Bayley.

comment
Oh, Crap!: At the 2018 event, Charlotte Flair had just won a hard-fought title challenge against Ruby Riott and stood tall and proud in the ring, taking in the glory and victory... and then Asuka's entrance theme hit and the all-feared Women's Royal Rumble winner stepped into the ring to challenge Charlotte to a title match at WrestleMania 34. Charlotte's facial expression could best be described as resignation to being devoured.
