Starting off with an overarching theme for the evening, there simply must be no doubt in which direction RAW is heading with regards to WrestleMania 33 after this show. The build for the Showcase of the Immortals has been better this year than in previous years, but if fans come out of this show with a mass of question marks regarding 'Mania, then something is seriously wrong.

Fans want to believe that WWE knows what it is doing as opposed to flying by the seat of its pants, and if the flagship show doesn't have its house in order ahead of the big event then something is broken. Fastlane is the go-home pay-per-view for 'Mania, and as such the RAW side of the card must be inked in after this show.

WrestleMania 33 is just one month away now. The plans for Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and the rest need to become clearer, sooner rather than later - and Fastlane is just the right moment to introduce some real clarity.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
