WrestleMania 35 is right around the corner, but before we settle in for the biggest show of the entire year, WWE Fastlane will take place on Sunday night in Cleveland. Though the big show is nearly here, there are still a few more pieces that need to fall into place, and the action we see on Sunday at Fastlane should bring some of the 'Mania pictures a little more into focus. The WWE championship will be defended on Sunday night as Daniel Bryan defends against Kevin Owens, who was a late replacement for Kofi Kingston at the behest of none other than Vince McMahon. But the match most are probably looking forward to on Sunday sees bitter rivals Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair go one-on-one yet again, with the stipulation that should Lynch emerge victorious, then she'll earn back her spot in the Raw women's title match at WrestleMania. Below is all the information you need to watch WWE Fastlane on Sunday evening. Be sure to catch up with all the WWE Fastlane predictions from CBS Sports ahead of the show, and check back in for live coverage of the event.

Fastlane 2019 viewing information Date: Sunday, March 10 Location: Quicken Loans Arena -- Cleveland, Ohio Start time: 7 p.m. ET (kickoff show starts at 6 p.m.) Watch live: WWE Network WWE Network: Web | Apple TV | Roku | Amazon Fire | PlayStation | Xbox | iOS | Android Fastlane 2019 match card<doc-sep>0 of 5 Credit: WWE.com Although most matches expected to take place at WrestleMania 35 are all but confirmed, WWE Fastlane 2019 on Sunday should give fans a better idea of what the lineup will look like. The final stop on the Road to WrestleMania rarely features much of note happening, but if nothing else, it exists to lay the groundwork for WrestleMania. Additionally, from an in-ring standpoint, this year's pay-per-view promises to be entertaining with what's on tap. To make Fastlane especially worthwhile, however, every match should have WrestleMania implications. Granted, the event isn't taking place until April 7, but this is WWE's last major show before 'Mania and should be used to further feuds in a meaningful manner so they can culminate in epic fashion at the Show of Shows. Above else all, WWE's primary goal with Fastlane should be to get fans excited for what lies ahead by giving them just enough on Sunday to make them want to see more at a later date. That can be accomplished with a big angle of some sort or even a significant cliffhanger that would entice viewers to tune in to the fallout on Raw and SmackDown Live in the following days. Fastlane is shaping up to be an interesting event, and with the right execution, it could be exactly what this Road to WrestleMania needs. How WWE books the aftermath of the event will be key, but it begins with the results from Fastlane and how it all ties into what's to come at the Showcase of the Immortals.<doc-sep>The Road to WrestleMania has just about reached its destination on April 7, but before the biggest show of the year touches down inside MetLife Stadium, WWE Fastlane on Sunday night will serve as the final pitstop. A plethora of championships will be on the line in Cleveland, and in the match that fans may be looking forward to the most, we'll find out if the likely historic women's main event at WrestleMania will become a triple threat affair featuring the most popular star in the company. Fastlane will begin at 7 p.m. ET with the show expected to last anywhere from 3.5-4 hours, not counting the Kickoff Show, which starts one hour prior to the main card at 6 p.m. CBS Sports will be with you the entire way on Sunday with live results, highlights and analysis. Big fan of WWE? Subscribe to our podcast -- State of Combat with Brian Campbell -- and listen to our Fastlane preview below. Let's take a look at how our experts believe Fastlane will play out. 2019 Fastlane predictions New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura (Kickoff Show) Brian Campbell: With the New Day taking this past week off on SmackDown in order to travel on a WWE promotional tour overseas, the build for this last-minute addition has been non-existent. In fact, Rusev and Nakamura attacked NXT additions Ricochet and Aleister Black on Tuesday in a move that made little sense from a storyline standpoint. So, who wins this? In all reality, it won't matter much outside of possibly the need to keep Kofi Kingston strong should his hopeful push into WrestleMania continue. Pick: New Day wins Jack Crosby, Adam Silverstein: WWE seems adamant about making this Rusev-Nakamura alliance a thing, but they need a victory. I suspect it'll come with this Kickoff match in some heel-ish fashion over an established team such as the New Day. Where everything goes from here ... who knows. This may be nothing more than a filler match creative came up with over lunch on Friday. Regardless, the heels get the victory. Pick: Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura win Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade (Kickoff Show) BC, AS: It would be nice if this match made its way to pay-per-view with some form of title, stipulation or developed storyline behind it. At the very least, placing it on the Kickoff Show should give enough time for it to be a great match. Andrade needs the victory more, although it's hard to overlook how much better this could be booked with more at stake considering the combined level of talent. Pick: Andrade wins JC: Since their first singles match on SmackDown Live together, I've had the feeling that this will all culminate with a match at WrestleMania. I still hold the belief that these two will battle in MetLife Stadium in some sort of one-on-one affair, and I've also maintained that Andrade will go over on the big stage. So with that being the case, Mysterio gets the victory here while Andrade enjoys the bigger spotlight next month. Pick: Rey Mysterio wins Raw Tag Team Championship: The Revival (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable AS, BC, JC: For as strange as the Raw tag team picture has been over the last half year, The Revival has brought some normalcy to the red brand's division. The sudden call up of Black & Ricochet has been fun as their matches have been great, but they are not a natural tag team and it just feels like a forced way to get them on TV without running separate angles. Whether The Revival one day leaves WWE for AEW or elsewhere is insignificant; what matters most is a real team taking the titles into 'Mania. Roode or Gable can take the fall here. Pick: The Revival retains the titles SmackDown Women's Championship: Asuka (c) vs. Mandy Rose BC, AS, JC: Rose has done just fine so far in her bump up to the title level, but that doesn't mean she should win the belt in this one. Asuka should very much be protected in order to give both the title and her character the clout they deserve entering WrestleMania. It's more likely that Lacey Evans makes another confusing and silly strut down the ramp to provide some form of distraction that teases her future as a main-event player. Pick: Asuka retains the title Women's Tag Team Championship: Sasha Banks & Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina BC: WWE may be able to have its cake and eat it too in terms of booking in this one. Even though the company chose to anoint Bayley and Sasha Banks as the historic first women's tag team champions (although it previously had WWF women's titles in the 1980s), WWE can still produce a babyface pop finish at WrestleMania by allowing the heels a brief reign, only for Bayley and Banks to win it back. Outside of that, there really isn't much else here in terms of storyline. Pick: Nia Jax & Tamina Snuka win the titles AS, JC: There is a case to be made that the Samoan ladies taking the titles off Boss 'N Hug Connection would allow the champions to get their WrestleMania moment in addition to being the first female tandem to hold the new titles. But that would require Sasha Banks once again losing her first defense of title, which has happened every time she's held a strap on the main roster. I'd much rather Banks and Bayley take the titles into 'Mania and face a heel team like The IIconics. There's no good reason for Jax & Tamina to win here. Pick: Sasha Banks & Bayley retain the titles SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon JC, BC, AS: There is absolutely nothing residing within this feud that would lead one to believe The Usos are dropping the titles back to the "greatest tag team in the world" here.<doc-sep>It’s one thing to predict the winners and losers at Fastlane 2019, but how about taking a guess at the match order on that card? WWE has announced 7 different segments for the main card of Fastlane, not counting the two pre-show matches featuring Andrade, Mysterio, New Day, Rusev, and Nakamura. Here is my subjective view of how important each of these 7 segments rank on the Fastlane card, ordered from most important to least important. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair Daniel Bryan vs. Kevin Owens The Shield vs. Corbin, Lashley, McIntyre The Usos vs. Miz & Shane McMahon The Revival vs. Ricochet & Black vs. Roode & Gable Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. Tamina & Nia Jax Asuka vs. Mandy Rose It is important to come up with a list like this to get an idea of which matches are going to be placed in the key spots on the card or take up the most time, and which matches might end up in the cool-down spots or be given the least amount of time. Becky’s match gets the top spot since it will determine the main event of WrestleMania 35. Bryan’s match comes next due to the WWE Championship. The reunion of The Shield is a big deal and rounds out the three most important matches. Shane McMahon is next since he is treated like a bigger star than everyone else on the list. Ricochet’s match gets the edge over Sasha since it will likely receive more time. Asuka’s match is a complete afterthought and could be used as a cool-down match, if necessary. Main event The top three matches are all viable contenders to main event this card, and it really isn’t clear which one is the favorite. Becky and Charlotte will likely both be wrestling in the main event of WrestleMania 35, so they definitely have a strong case for being the main event of this card. But if Becky is selling a knee injury that requires crutches, it’s very possible the match quality will suffer as a result. This one is not a title match, which doesn’t help its case. The WWE Championship match always has a chance to close out the night. But considering how quickly the match with Owens came together and how it feels like a placeholder for something bigger involving Kofi Kingston, there is high potential for a screwy ending. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising for this one to fall short of the main event spot. The Shield reunion is enough to land them in the final match of the night, but Corbin’s trio simply doesn’t seem like main event material. I’m not super confident in making a choice here. Ultimately I will follow the logic that if Becky and Charlotte are going to main event WrestleMania, it would be strange for them to not main event Fastlane too. So they are my pick for the main event match at Fastlane. Opening match The opening match of the night is usually one of the mid-level attractions with good work rate that doesn’t require a dedicated video package ahead of time to hype it up. There are three tag team championship matches on this card, and they are the best candidates to open this card. The women’s match is the riskiest one in terms of delivering a quality match, so I will rule them out. That leaves either the Usos or the Revival for Segment 1. This would normally be a no-brainer in favor of the Usos, since all four performers in their match are presented as bigger stars than each of the six competitors in the Raw match. But I’m going to choose the Raw match for the opener for two reasons. First, I am expecting a heel turn from either Shane or Miz, and that seems more fitting for the middle of the card than the beginning. Second, it looks like WWE is trying to push Ricochet and Black as a big deal, and having them win the tag titles in the opening match of the night seems like a pretty good way to continue along that path. That gives me the following card: Segment 1: The Revival vs. Ricochet & Black vs. Roode & Gable Segment 2: Segment 3: Segment 4: Segment 5: Segment 6: Segment 7: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair Cool-down match? Asuka’s match is the least important fight of the night and is the best candidate to be used for a cool-down segment late in the card. Segment 2 is also a spot that needs to be considered for Asuka’s match, since that segment often goes to one of the least important matches of the night. One thing that stands out about the Fastlane card is the abundance of tag team matches. Of the three matches that are not tag team matches, Asuka’s is the only one that seems appropriate for an early segment in the card. If I saved Asuka for a cool-down segment late in the night, that means the early portion of the card would be stacked with all tag team matches, unless I’m bold enough to place Becky or Bryan very early in the night. I’m not bold enough to do that, so I’ll stick Asuka and Mandy in Segment 2. That gives me the following card: Segment 1: The Revival vs. Ricochet & Black vs. Roode & Gable Segment 2: Asuka vs. Mandy Rose Segment 3: Segment 4: Segment 5: Segment 6: Segment 7: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair Everything else Following Asuka’s match, Segment 3 is a good spot for whatever big angle is planned for Miz and Shane. After that, I need to decide if I am going to stack the three biggest matches of the night in the final three segments, or if I will break those matches up with Bayley’s match somewhere in between. I don’t think WWE will close out the night with two consecutive women’s matches, which means Bayley will land in either Segment 4 or Segment 5.<doc-sep>
Before we arrive at the desired destination of WrestleMania 35, one more pay-per-view stop needs to be made on the road to the company's biggest show of the year. WWE Fastlane goes down live Sunday, March 10 from Cleveland at the Quicken Loans Arena. Will WWE continue the excitement during the hottest time of the year in professional wrestling? That remains to be seen. What we do know is that we now have a completed card, which includes a couple of title matches and a bout with a huge stipulation for WrestleMania 35. Fastlane will begin with a kickoff show at 6 p.m. ET before the main card starts one hour later at 7 p.m. CBS Sports will be with you live from bell to bell. Big fan of WWE? Subscribe to our podcast -- State of Combat with Brian Campbell -- and listen to our Fastlane preview (timestamped below) along with the rest of the show. 2019 WWE Fastlane matches WWE Championship -- Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kevin Owens: Vince McMahon pulled Kofi Kingston out of the match Tuesday night on SmackDown with fans raining down boos on the WWE chairman as he announced Owens as the replacement. This despite Kingston pinning Bryan twice, including once in one-on-one competition. With Kingston's massive rise in popularity, it appears that WWE has flipped its WrestleMania plans with Owens fighting at Fastlane and Kingston getting the opportunity in New York. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair: It appears we've found our path to the triple threat match at WrestleMania -- likely in the main event -- for the Raw women's title. The former best friends will square off one more time, and if Lynch should emerge victorious, then she will officially be added to the bout that's currently set as Flair vs. champion Ronda Rousey. After Rousey's heel turn and subsequent beatdown of Lynch on the go-home Raw, though, "The Man" will most certainly not be walking into this one at 100 percent health. One way or another, Lynch should earn another victory over Flair, and we can then put all our focus into the triple threat we've seen coming our way for weeks. The Shield vs. Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin & Bobby Lashley: With Dean Ambrose set to leave the company following WrestleMania, we're getting one final Shield reunion. The trio reunited on the go-home edition of Raw at the request of Roman Reigns, and this bout will serve as the Big Dog's first match back after his leukemia went into remission. Should be a feel-good moment seeing Reigns, Rollins & Ambrose take apart some competition one last time. SmackDown Women's Championship -- Asuka (c) vs. Mandy Rose: Though it was through heelish tactics, Rose holds a pinfall victory over the champion on SmackDown. Rose will now receive a title opportunity now at Fastlane, but the outcome may be very different this time around. United States Championship -- Samoa Joe (c) vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade: Previously, a Mysterio-Andrade match was announced for the kickoff show. Just 35 minutes before Fastlane began, WWE announced that the match is now a Fatal 4-Way for the U.S. title and will be on the main show. SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon: Although automatic rematches aren't supposed to be the norm these days, McMahon went ahead and gave his team another shot at the tag titles they lost to The Usos at Elimination Chamber. With Fastlane taking place in Miz's hometown of Cleveland, some sort of shenanigans will be in order. Women's Tag Team Championship -- Boss 'N Hug Connection (c) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina: This was officially announced Monday on Raw, and it looks like the women will trade off singles matches until the PPV. Hopefully this will mark Sasha Banks's first successful title defense on the main roster with Boss 'N Hug getting a more enticing opponent at 'Mania. Raw Tag Team Championship -- The Revival (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable: This triple threat match was added Tuesday after Roode & Gable interfered in Black & Ricochet's title shot on Raw. It will be interesting to see where WWE goes from here with the Raw titles.
