First Match Officially Announced For WWE Fastlane
March 4, 2021WWE has revealed the first match for Fastlane.
WWE Fastlane comes to us on March 21st and will be the first live WWE event to air on NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service. With that, WWE has officially announced the first match for Fastlane.
Thursday evening WWE announced that the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships will be on the line at Fastlane when Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defend their titles against the Smackdown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair. This is actually a rematch from last month’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
Before SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks battles 2021 Royal Rumble Match winner Bianca Belair on The Grandest Stage of Them All, the two elite Superstars will join forces to challenge the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax for the illustrious titles at WWE Fastlane.
Although Baszler & Jax may not always see eye-to-eye as individuals, the destructive tandem has personified squared circle dominance as two-time titleholders. But will they able to rebuke the combined opposition of two Superstars currently at the top of their game?
Banks has proven that she is, in fact, every bit of the “Blueprint” of the Women’s division as of late, and Belair has all the momentum in the world. The two overcame Baszler & Jax alongside sommelier Reginald on SmackDown, but the champions fired back with a win at WWE Elimination Chamber. But will they be able to work together effectively to conquer the champions with the WrestleMania showdown on the horizon?

This match being announced comes off of Jax and Baszler defending their title last night on NXT with a very controversial finish. No actual reason was given for this rematch taking place as Banks and Belair were already defeated by Jax and Baszler at Elimination Chamber and have not been mentioned on Smackdown since.
If we do hear anything else regarding WWE Fastlane on March 21st, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
