9 Wrestlers That Need To Shine Bright At WWE Fastlane 2016

These nine stars need to pick up some serious speed on the Road to WrestleMania.

By Adam O'Brien /

The WWE is, once again, hoping to break records with another biggest WrestleMania of all-time, and the entire roster should be chomping at the bit for an opportunity to compete at the spectacle this year. It's a chance to be a part of history. For many, the last chance to get themselves locked on the WrestleMania card will be based on their performances at the second special event of the calendar year, WWE Fastlane. A lot of fans consider Fastlane a throwaway PPV, but there are a select few competitors in WWE that must treat the second instalment of the event with the utmost importance, with regards to putting on a great show and securing a spot at WrestleMania. This close to April, it really is do or die for some. The following men and women absolutely need to shine bright this Sunday in Cleveland.

9. Brie Bella

It€™s recently come to light that Brie Bella has decided to hang up her boots soon and officially call it quits on her professional wrestling career. This is so that she can join her husband Daniel Bryan in retirement and start a family together. Knowing this, it€™s hard to think of any scenario in which Brie Bella emerges victorious and wins the WWE Divas Championship this weekend, unless it€™s to provide a short-lived send-off to the star of €˜Total Divas€™, who has actually forged quite a legacy during her WWE tenure. Brie Bella tackled some obstacles in the company, but it€™s undeniable that her in-ring skill increased dramatically, allowing her to become a decent performer between the ropes. Though Brie may not be walking out with her hand raised at Fastlane, she needs to do everything in her ability to emerge with her head held high. This could be her last match, so the least WWE can offer her is the time to tell a decent story and look good out there. You€™ll expect the crowd to rally behind her, knowing her days in the company are numbered, and that a future alongside the now legendary Daniel Bryan awaits her. Provided Brie does make a good effort in the ring, Fastlane could turn out be one of her most memorable matches and moments to date.
