![]() Gallagher should eventually be the face of the division, but it may be too soon for him to be champion. And Neville has been a deserving champion. ![]() Gallagher’s in-ring antics are fun without devolving into comedy, especially as he usually out-wrestles his opponents. Jack Gallagher – “Gentleman Jack” is definitely the standout character of the cruiserweight division, while Neville’s return and title win was a great shot in the arm. Just filler to get more guys on the card.Ĭruiserweight Championship: Neville (c) vs. This is a complete waste of Cesaro, who beat Mahal, and Rusev, who lost to Show. Big Show – During the pre-show, Mahal and Rusev declared they were no longer a team and they both wanted competiton tonight, so Mick Foley set up these matches for the former partners. ![]() But I really don’t want to see Banks getting any more title shots after the disastrous series with Charlotte. Everyone is kept strong, though, and both of these women should stay in the title picture. ![]() Banks fighting back to try and outsmart Jax with sleeper holds and DDT reversals allows her to stay over as a fighter, and it helps her roll Jax up with a bridging roll-up to get what felt like a fluke win over the monster. Jax continues to be a monster, destroying former champion Banks early on. Nia Jax – The most amazing thing here is that there seems to be more than one storyline for the women of Raw, though this is an offshoot the title match later on tonight. Otherwise, keeping the belts on Gallows and Anderson is just a waste, since there are a lot better teams on the Raw roster. It will make sense if Enzo and Cass get a big win next month at WrestleMania for a crowning achievement. Not much of a match here, as we get a screwy finish with Enzo getting pinned despite his foot being on the ropes. Enzo and Cass didn’t even win the NXT tag belts, even though they were the most over team at Full Sail. Enzo and Big Cass – Anderson and Gallows winning the tag team titles before Enzo and Cass is such a baffling move, as Enzo and Cass have been much more over in WWE than The former Club, but very little about the tag team divisions in WWE makes any sense. Raw Tag Team Titles: Gallows and Anderson (c) vs. Now the question is, what will Joe’s role be at WrestleMania? Mission accomplished, as Joe dominated the match and beat Zayn down, locking him in the Kokina Clutch and knocking him unconscious. Their NXT Title match was a competitive match, but Joe needed to come off like a monster here. Joe is in his first one-on-one WWE pay-per-view match and is fresh off injuring Seth Rollins while Zayn is fresh off nearly being forgotten. Sami Zayn – Here we have two guys who went up against each other in NXT, the WWE’s developmental brand, for the NXT Title, and now they’re opening this show. Winners: Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa WWE Fastlane 2017 But it’s a pre-show match, so we got what we got. Fun match, but I would have liked to see it go longer. I figured Tozawa would be the guy to get the win for his team. Everyone got a little bit of time to shine here, though I was surprised Swann got the pin on Dar. Dar will probably get a run, too, as long as his pairing with Fox doesn’t leave him overshadowed. Swann and Kendrick are already former champions and I imagine Tozawa will be elevated soon enough. Despite being a tag team match, this should be a showcase to see where the title picture for the division goes in the next few months. Fox proves her craziness early on by blocking a double dive onto her team by Swann and Tozawa, though they got to do it later in the match. Dar’s girlfriend, Alicia Fox is crazy and Kendrick is much more suited to the role he’s in now than he was as champion of the cruiserweight division. Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar – So, Swann and Tozawa are awesome. WWE Fastlane is coming to you from the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. It’s the final WWE Network special before the Showcase of the Immortals, WrestleMania! Four titles are on the line for this Raw-brand show!
