Fastlane is just around the corner and WWE has now confirmed three more matches that will be taking place during the show. All three matches will have championships on the line. First and foremost, The Usos will be putting the Smackdown Tag Team Championships on the line in a match against the New Day at the event. The trio defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable on Tuesday to earn the title match. The Usos and the New Day wrestled in a series of matches against each other for the tag team titles last year and each one of their matches was highly praised by fans. Hopefully, fans will be in for another classic when they face each other yet again at Fastlane.

Charlotte Flair has also been confirmed to defend her Smackdown Women’s Championship at the show. For several weeks now, Flair has been dealing with the members of the Riott Squad. She, Becky Lynch, and Naomi have been working together lately to defeat the new group on Smackdown for a while now, but the score will finally be settled in a singles match. It was confirmed on Smackdown from this past Tuesday night that Flair will indeed put her title on the line in a match against the leader of the Riott Squad, Ruby Riott. Don’t forget that the winner of this match could also potentially determine Asuka’s opponent for WrestleMania. So get ready for Riott vs. Flair very soon.

Another champion has also just been announced for the upcoming Smackdown-exclusive pay-per-view. With AJ Styles, Charlotte Flair, and The Usos each defending the championship titles of the blue brand, it only makes sense that Bobby Roode will be there to defend his United States Championship. Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton have both been eyeing the US Championship for a while now, but Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon eventually both agreed on Smackdown this week that Randy Orton should be the one to get the title shot against Roode at the pay-per-view. All of these matches and more will be taking place at Fastlane on March 11th in the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
