It was an interesting choice to push Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch vs. Tamina and Naomi in the opening match spot. Even more intriguing was the fact that Banks was the first one out, because she still hasn't technically fully turned babyface yet. Nonetheless, fans adore 'The Boss', so she was always guaranteed a good reaction upon making her entrance. In just under 10 minutes, the Divas on display in this one were all able to have at least a few good minutes inside the ring. Naomi turned out to be a sleeper hit in the match, and she has shown that she's worth keeping an eye on with her performances. WWE shouldn't move away from the idea of teaming her with Tamina going forward just yet, they complement one another well. The real story was between Sasha and Becky, although it appears they will have some issues post-Fastlane. As it was, the more popular tandem picked up a well-received victory with a pair of submission holds. That's something which will probably factor in to their resultant feud.
