Goldberg declared that he would win the Royal Rumble on January 29 and face the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 33. On the January 2, 2017, episode of Raw, Goldberg was the first guest on The Kevin Owens Show, where he confronted WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens. Storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows Monday Night Raw and 205 Live, the latter of which is cruiserweight-exclusive.
FASTLANE MATCH SERIES
The card included ten matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw brand. The 2017 Fastlane, which was the third event in the Fastlane chronology, was in turn held exclusively for Raw. Each brand also received their own exclusive monthly pay-per-views. In July 2016, WWE reintroduced the brand extension where the promotion divided its roster between the Raw and SmackDown brands where the wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform. While the first two Fastlane events were held in February, the 2017 event was scheduled for March 5 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which made it the first Fastlane to be held in March, and in turn WWE's first non-WrestleMania pay-per-view held during that month. The name of the event is a reference to its position on the "Road to WrestleMania," being held in the two-month period between the Royal Rumble and WWE's flagship event. On the undercard, Roman Reigns defeated Braun Strowman, ending Strowman's undefeated streak, Bayley retained the Raw Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair, thus ending Flair's undefeated streak in singles matches at pay-per-views, Neville retained the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Gentleman Jack Gallagher, and Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson retained the Raw Tag Team Championship against Enzo Amore and Big Cass.įastlane is a pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network event first produced by WWE in 2015. In the main event, Goldberg defeated Kevin Owens to win the WWE Universal Championship, becoming the only person to win the Universal Championship, WWE's World Heavyweight Championship, and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Ten matches were contested at the event with one match on the Kickoff pre-show. This was the first Fastlane event to be brand exclusive, following the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016, and the first non- WrestleMania WWE pay-per-view to take place in March. The event took place on March 5, 2017, at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division.
