The speedbump on the Road to WrestleMania known as Fastlane is upon us, which means that soon we will see storylines careening toward their (ill)logical conclusions at WWEs biggest event of the year. Theres long been a belief that WWE should just do away with the February PPV between Royal Rumble and Mania because its largely perceived as just a placeholder event, a vehicle to set up a few last-minute WrestleMania matches when a packed episode of Raw could accomplish the same goals. For example, does anyone out there think for a second that Roman Reigns isnt going on to WrestleMania to face Triple H in the ultimate showdown of Reigns getting retribution on the man who cost him his WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Sure, WWE has teased Triple H and Brock Lesnar, but that would ignore the last several months of booking just to throw us all a curveball. Its not unprecedented, but it certainly would be a strange move. And does anyone think well see Brie Bella defending the Divas Championship at Mania rather than a triple threat with the NXT women who invaded WWE last summer? Regardless, we have Fastlane to plow through before WrestleMania is before us. And there are several angles and matches that will become much clearer after Sunday night. So with that said, lets take a look at the big questions out there that need answering and will help bring Mania into focus
