According to The Wrestling Observer, plans for the WWE Fast Lane PPV changed this week from what was originally planned by WWE.
The initial PPV plans called for Roman Reigns to defeat a top WWE heel, possibly Big Show, and Daniel Bryan would be used to put over Bray Wyatt and keep him strong for his match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31.
Obviously those plans changed and the main event of Fast Lane is now Reigns vs Bryan, with the winner facing Brock Lesnar for the title at WrestleMania.
As noted, WWE originally planned to have Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus III take place at WrestleMania, but those plans were nixed when Daniel Bryan requested to work with Dolph Ziggler at ‘Mania. Despite Bryan facing Reigns at Fast Lane, WrestleMania plans could very well still be to have Ziggler face Bryan.
With regards to WrestleMania 31 promotion, those who are actually handling promotion for the PPV are still under the impression the main event will be Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns for the WWE World Title. WrestleMania promotional personnel have been told to promote Reigns the most, followed by Brock Lesnar then John Cena. As for Sting, he has not been included in promotional material for WrestleMania, but since his involvement in the show is all but confirmed, the announcement of Sting at the PPV should be a major selling point in the coming weeks.
Paglino: Prediction time. My guess is Ziggler screws Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane and costs him the match. Reigns wins, he and Bryan remain babyfaces, and Bryan goes on to face a heel Ziggler at WrestleMania. What do you think?
