Mat Insiders: Five Observations From Being Live at WWE’s Fastlane PPV

1. Fans Hated the Main Event Ending – And for Good Reason

The WWE for now over a year has been shoving the thought of Roman Reigns as the top face of the company down our throats, and it’s simply not working.

Sunday it was as evident as ever, as he pinned his ‘brother’ in Dean Ambrose in the main event to go onto Mania in what is sure to be a crapped on main event with Triple H.

Reigns is a good guy, a good wrestler and maybe someday will get the credit he deserves for all that he has done. For now, fans don’t want him as the top guy, and for a company in the WWE that says they listen to their fan base, they sure are missing the boat on this one.

The outcome that everyone wanted Sunday was Ambrose going over, and then he getting the shot at Triple H at Mania. Instead, the company stayed the course and went with Reigns, and now they had better load up the Mania card big time, because their main event is going to get booed out of a building they are hoping to fill with over 100,000 fans.

Last year fans hated the Fastlane ending of Reigns beating Daniel Bryan to stay in the main event of Mania, and now this year they hate the same outcome – and they are right.

If Vince and his staff wanted to think out of the box and give fans what they wanted, they would have given the shot to either Brock or Ambrose – but staying the course seems like the worst decision they can make.

Here’s to hoping they have a great plan in mind – because as of right now, Mania looks like it could be a complete disaster.
