WWE Fastlane 2019: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

5. The New Day Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev

WWE Fastlane 2019 Nakamura Big E
WWE.com

Result: Xavier and Big E take Rusev out with the UpUpDownDown (13:20).

Rating: It sounds like a broken record at this point, but Nakamura on the kickoff show? Really? At least he didn't eat the pin for his team, so that's something.

The match itself was actually totally rock solid - despite some sluggish and sloppy moments, it was full of fun sequences and did more than your usual phoned-in kickoff match.

It ultimately ran a few minutes longer than it needed to and it would've been nice to see a Nak/Rusev victory here, but they told a solidly compelling in-ring story. 6/10
