If proof is needed of how stacked the WWE roster is in 2017, one need only look at the mass of talent not booked for Fastlane. The New Day, Cesaro, Sheamus, Rusev and Big Show all find themselves on the sidelines with nothing to do for the show, and with the exception of New Day, it seems as though the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal beckons at 'Mania.

Though no one is crying out for The New Day's ice cream-based feud with Rusev and Jinder Mahal to exist on this show in any way, it would be strange for the night to pass without any of the above being involved at all. Whether it is through an extra match on the pre-show, or a number of segments throughout the night, it does not bode well for those performers if there was nothing for them at Fastlane.

A lot will depend on the direction they are all heading in for WrestleMania. If some form of battle between Sheamus & Cesaro and Samoa Joe is in the plans, the European duo will surely be involved in Joe's match with Sami Zayn. The New Day have been confirmed as the hosts of WrestleMania 33, so will they give a glimpse as to their hosting style here?
