![]() ![]() It’s crazy how hard Gallagher hits those headbutts at times! They were given a lot of time and there was some nice back and forth between the two men. These two had a pretty good match together in all honesty. Neville is the brooding heel while Gallagher is the happy-go-lucky gentleman who always pulls out some weird tactics in the middle of the match. I really liked the contrast in character between Neville and Jack Gallagher in this Cruiserweight Championship match. It bored me for the most part until the Show/Rusev part. I think they just needed to fill time and this accomplished it fairly easily. I really don’t get what they accomplished with this besides getting Show some ring time before WrestleMania against Shaq (which is up in the air right now). He’s been great lately and I really hope he’s able to have one last good run before he retires. Show is in the best shape of his life and yet again, he had a pretty good match with Rusev. Rusev would then clear Jinder from the ring as the Big Show came down to fight Rusev. Cesaro came out to be Jinder Mahal’s opponent and ended up defeating him. The two fought before the matches and Rusev ended up thrown into the timekeeper’s area. Jinder Mahal and Rusev both wanted to go the singles route from now on and so Mick Foley gave them both surprise opponents. She, more than anyone else, takes some pretty nasty bumps and I do worry that one of them could cut her career a lot shorter than it should be. It’s crazy how much punishment Sasha has taken in the past year and I do wonder whether her career may be shorter because of it. Nia looked like she was going to get a pretty easy win after toying with Sasha for most of the match. Well I really didn’t see this one coming! Sasha Banks somehow pulled out the victory over a stunned Nia Jax with the roll-up. Sasha Gets The Surprise Victory Over Nia Jax I don’t like it when it’s done all the time, but this time made a lot of sense and will undoubtedly set up a rematch. WWE has been making a lot of great choices like this lately to protect their stars even in a loss. It was a perfect way to win while still allowing Enzo and Cass to keep their momentum. These guys won the match by shoving Enzo’s foot off the rope before the referee saw it and then he counted to 3. I’ve been really impressed with Gallows and Anderson for really embracing their heel nature. It’s a formulaic for this team, but it gets a huge pop every time everyone enjoys seeing Big Cass clear the ring. I think they’re using Enzo well to get a lot of face sympathy as he’s prevented from getting to make a hot tag for long periods of time. I feel like that’s a moment that should be saved for WrestleMania considering how popular they are. I’m really happy that Enxo and Big Cass didn’t win the Raw Tag Team Championship last night. Gallows & Anderson Retain With The Cheap Victory It was definitely a good way to start the show. This match wasn’t bad considering they had to throw this feud together after Rollins’ injury. ![]() He was in control for most of the match minus a few moments of resiliency from Zayn. Joe continued his dominance of recent weeks and exhausted Zayn with strikes and slams. He and Kevin Owens are very similar that way. I’m still in awe at how well Joe moves for his size. I always love that move because it looks so much more devastating than it probably would if anyone else tried to use it. Samoa Joe ended up winning the match after he choked out Zayn with the Coquina Clutch. He certainly brought some of that spirit to the bout and the crowd was about 50/50 behind each guy. He is the guy who keeps coming even after he’s down and out. I really feel like he was the perfect first opponent for Samoa Joe. It would be a shame if his career doesn’t amount to much more than it has so far. I just really hope that they look at him as more than that in the future. I really feel like WWE looks at Sami as a good hand to have a great match or get someone else over. Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe had a very good match to start Fastlane 2017. ![]() Fastlane 2017 was an exciting night in WWE with multiple title matches including a big title change in record time!
