The Highlights: WWE Fastlane was by no means a perfect pay-per-view, but the go-home edition of Raw came close. Up to that point, the feud between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan lacked a spark, but they caught lightning in a bottle with their epic brawl at the close of the show. With one pull-apart brawl, Reigns and Bryan had fans hyped for the pay-per-view. Ric Flair was used wisely for once in a talking segment with Triple H, warning him of what his rival Sting was capable of. This prompted HHH to push his longtime friend to the ground, bringing out a side of The Game we hadn't seen in ages. Stardust turning on Goldust and The Prime Time Players reuniting were also notable moments. The Low Points: Most of the episode delivered, but WWE was foolish to think Big Show vs. Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns vs. Kane would draw viewers. Fans had already seen both bouts no less than a dozen times in the past and they weren't any more compelling this time around. Reigns winning by count-out and Show winning count-out didn't help matters, but as noted, at least the aforementioned brawl closed the show out on a high note.
