THE LEFTOVERS: WWE Fastlane -- Making A Card out of those who weren't on it (Patreon)
Content
For those new to this feature, it's a fun little booking exercise I do every month, where I take people who weren't used in matches or big segments on PPV shows and book a card with them. I want your thoughts and your cards!
Cruiserweight Tournament: I'd have whatever match 205 Live could spare in this spot as the show opener. It'd be good to feature a cruiserweight match with stakes that isn't a title match
EC3 vs. Jinder Mahal- I can't pretend any Jinder Mahal match is going to be great, but EC3 really badly needs a win, and over another former WWE Champion would be a good move. I almost didn't include EC3 because he was technically used on the pre-show.
Major Brothers vs. Heavy Machinery vs. Lucha House Party vs. Slater & Rhyno- I'd like to throw a bunch of babyface tag teams in there, switch up their roles a little bit and see who shines the most. Is it the new guys, someone who hasn't had a chance, or someone ready to make an impression again? Curt Hawkins eats a pin from Rhyno to make them relevant for another week, or Heavy Machinery to continue the "push."
Riott Squad vs. IIconics- Heel vs. Heel, sure. But this is a rare interpromotional match to help determine a next set of contenders for the tag titles. The IIconics win this one.
Kurt Angle vs. Lio Rush: I figure, why not keep the Kurt Angle retirement tour going? This could be a really good, quick, fast paced match. Angle wins it.
Hardy Boyz vs. The Good Brothers- WWE isn't doing anything with The Good Brothers, and the Hardy Boyz are back and in need of more good wins to push them
IC Title- Finn Balor vs. Braun Strowman: With neither man on the show, and before Balor defended his title on Monday against Lashley, this would be a rare "FUCK FINISH" on PPV, when Bobby Lashley and company cause a DQ.
