Since
his upset defeat to Chris Jericho several months ago, Goldberg has
been intently seeking a rematch. The Royal Rumble seemed to be a good
opportunity for Goldberg to get his hands on Jericho but both
Superstars did not end up meeting. Now Goldberg challenges Jericho to
a one on one match at Fastlane and questions his courage. Goldberg
sells Jericho on the idea by asking him what two undisputed victories
over Goldberg would do for him rather than always having that doubt.

Two
weeks ago at the WWE Royal Rumble:
Paige defeated Charlotte and Sasha Banks to become the NEW RAW
Women's Champion by pinning Charlotte with a small package counter.
Last
week on RAW: The former RAW Women's Champion Charlotte called out
the NEW RAW Women's Champion Paige. Charlotte said that she hoped
that Paige knows that a championship rematch is definitely in order
after the fluke way that Paige won the match.
Paige
celebrated her RAW Women's Championship victory with the WWE Universe
and talked about how she is ready to go up against Charlotte. Paige
defended her victory as clever. However, Paige would love nothing
more than to erase the word 'fluke' from Charlotte's mouth with
another pinfall over “The Queen” and accepted her challenge.
Charlotte then continued to talk trash prompting Paige to hit
Charlotte and start a brawl. A brawl that Paige got the better of.

Roman
Reigns calls out the WWE United States Champion, “The Monster Among
Men” Braun Strowman, and challenges him to a championship match.
Strowman accepts the challenge but refuses to have the match here in
Hartford and instead tells Reigns that he'll meet him in two weeks at
WWE Fastlane. Reigns then questions Strowman's toughness which
prompts Braun to floor Reigns with a vicious strike leading to a
brawl between the two, a brawl that “The Monster Among Men” gets
the better of.
