6 Ups And 10 Downs From WWE Fastlane 2016

7. WTF?

Going into Fastlane, the six-man tag match between the Wyatt Family and Kane, Big Show and Ryback looked like a foregone conclusion: the Wyatts have been running roughshod over the big men on the roster for the past month-plus, and this was just another notch into their collective belt.

Instead, Show took out the €œmonster€ Braun Strowman, and Ryback toppled Luke Harper, giving the unlikely trio a victory over the Wyatts. To call that shocking given the booking would be an understatement. Maybe if there was a post-match beatdown with the four Wyatts taking out the three €œTitans,€ it would have made more sense.

But what is going to happen on Monday? Is Ryback suddenly going to get a mega-push going forward? Probably not. We€™ll likely get the Wyatts getting retribution (or in true WWE 50/50 booking fashion, they€™ll get their win back).
