WWE Fastlane 2023 is rapidly approaching, and it promises to be a thrilling night of professional wrestling action. Taking place on Saturday, October 7th, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, this premium live event has been somewhat quiet in terms of hype and buildup. However, the recently confirmed matches are sure to captivate wrestling fans worldwide. Let’s take a closer look at the five confirmed matches for WWE Fastlane 2023.
1. Seth Rollins (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura – Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship
The main event of WWE Fastlane 2023 promises to be an epic showdown as Seth Rollins defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing match. The Last Man Standing stipulation means that the only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent to the point where they can’t answer the referee’s ten-count. This bout has been building up for weeks, with Nakamura repeatedly making Rollins wait for his title shot. Expect a hard-hitting, dramatic encounter between these two talented superstars.
2. John Cena and LA Knight vs. The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa)
One of the most highly-anticipated tag team matches at Fastlane features the legendary John Cena teaming up with the recently added LA Knight to take on The Bloodline, represented by Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. Originally, Cena and AJ Styles were set to face The Bloodline, but an injury to Styles forced a change in plans. LA Knight, who had been recovering from COVID-19, stepped up to join Cena in what is sure to be a dynamic and crowd-pleasing partnership. The clash between these two teams will undoubtedly be a highlight of the evening.
3. IYO SKY (c) vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair – WWE Women’s Championship match
The WWE Women’s Championship will be up for grabs in a triple-threat match featuring the reigning champion, IYO SKY, defending her title against two formidable opponents in Asuka and Charlotte Flair. Triple-threat matches add an element of unpredictability, as any participant can win without the champion necessarily being pinned or submitted. This match promises high-flying action, technical prowess, and a fierce battle for supremacy in the women’s division.

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship will be on the line as Damian Priest and Finn Balor defend their titles against the challenging duo of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.
