The Fastlane 2023 pay-per-view featured a short card with matches that lacked coherence and logical storytelling. The event started with Cody Rhodes and Jay Uso facing Judgment Day, a match that had loose connections to previous storylines. The LWO took on Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits in a match that felt thrown together. IO Sky battled Asuka and Charlotte in a match that lacked buildup and purpose. LA Knight and John Cena faced The Bloodline, which had some interesting moments but ultimately felt inconsequential. The main event saw Seth Rollins take on Shinsuke Nakamura in a last man standing match that had a predictable outcome. Overall, the event failed to deliver compelling storylines and memorable moments. The conversation covers various topics related to the world of professional wrestling, including the release and rehire of wrestlers, the underutilization of certain wrestlers, the lack of title defenses, and the treatment of Sasha Banks and Trinity. The hosts also mention an upcoming wrestling event that they will be attending.
