11 Things You Might Have Missed From WWE Fastlane 2016

7. Something Borrowed

Michael Cole pointed it out, but you can't be blamed if you weren't paying attention to him - for her Divas' Championship bout with Charlotte, Brie Bella was wearing her husband's kickpads. They weren't just any kickpads, though - they were the fur-lined pair that Daniel Bryan wore on the greatest night of his career, WrestleMania XXX. That evening, Bryan pinned Triple H in the show opener to qualify for the main event, then got off a stretcher to defeat Randy Orton and Batista, becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It was a storybook moment and one of the most emotional victories in WWE history. Unfortunately, the kickpads didn't bring Bella the same luck that they brought her husband. Charlotte managed to escape from a half crab, then lock the challenger into the Figure 8 to get the submission.
