Upset that Nakamura left on his own two feet while he had to be helped to the back, Rollins angled to get another match with Nakamura. Nakamura rejected at first until Rollins offered to put his title on the line with a stipulation of Nakamura\u2019s choice. Nakamura chose a Last Man Standing stipulation thinking it would give him an advantage thanks to Rollins\u2019s bad back. Attacking Rollins\u2019s back has been Nakamura\u2019s focus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Seth retains.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>John Cena &amp; L.A. Knight vs. Jimmy Uso &amp; Solo Sikoa<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Story in a nutshell:<\/strong> Eager to prove himself once more to the Bloodline, Jimmy Uso picked a fight with John Cena and a partner of Cena\u2019s choice that ultimately turned out to be L.A. Knight.<\/p>\n<p>The Bloodline, represented here by Paul Heyman, has been coy about Jimmy Uso\u2019s status with the group ever since Jimmy turned on Roman Reigns before Jimmy had a change of heart. Jimmy went after John Cena when Cena came back to Smackdown hoping that it would prove his loyalty. Jimmy pulled Solo Sikoa along with him into the feud with Cena. Later, Cena was attacked by Jimmy and Solo. Cena was saved by A.J. Styles who had his own run-ins with the Bloodline. A tag team match was scheduled for Fastlane, but the Bloodline took out A.J. Styles before the contracts were signed. To prevent Cena from finding a partner, the Bloodline ran roughshod over the wrestlers in the back, threatening repercussion for anyone who would dare assist Cena. Cena declared he was prepared to have a handicap match when he was attacked again. L.A. Knight, who had earned Cena\u2019s respect at Payback, made the save and signed the contract to be Cena\u2019s partner for the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Cena and LA Knight win this one. This will likely set the table for Roman Reigns\u2019s next opponent. L.A. Knight, if they want to pull the trigger on that match already, Cena, because it\u2019s Cena, or Jimmy as \u201cpunishment\u201d to teach Jimmy a lesson.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Jey Uso &amp; Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor &amp; Damian Priest, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match<\/h3>\n<p>Story in a nutshell: After Cody Rhodes brought Jey Uso to Raw, Jey was attacked by the Judgment Day faction when he refused an invite to join them.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-537091424\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Jey Uso, fed up with the Bloodline over on Smackdown, quit the WWE. Cody Rhodes used his experience as a former EVP (AEW Executive Vice-President) to \u201cgrease the wheels\u201d in order to get Jey transferred to Raw. Several members of the roster had issues with the Bloodline and Jey\u2019s role with them leading to an icy, if not outright hostile, reception for him. Sensing an opportunity, the Judgment Day offered Jey a spot in their faction. Jey refused them which led to him being attacked with Cody making the save. As punishment, Finn Balor and Damian Priest must now defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. There is also friction within the faction as JD McDonagh tries to join the group with Priest being resistant to the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: It\u2019d be stupid to belt-up Cody before he can take the big one from Roman Reigns, though they could still win via DQ.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Iyo Sky (c) vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair, WWE Women\u2019s Championship Triple Threat match<\/h3>\n<p>Story in a nutshell: Bayley\u2019s mouth continues to write checks that Iyo Sky\u2019s butt must cash when Bayley put up Iyo\u2019s WWE Women\u2019s Championship against both Asuka and Charlotte Flair.<\/p>\n<p>Asuka, the WWE Women\u2019s Champion prior to Iyo Sky\u2019s current reign, made it clear to Iyo that she was coming for Iyo\u2019s title. Charlotte, disappointed where Bayley was in her career, accused Bayley of being a steppingstone along the way for challenger for the title to beat. Charlotte challenged Bayley saying she would use the win to justify challenging Iyo for the title. Charlotte won the match. Bayley and Iyo prepared to attack Charlotte after the match, but Asuka made the save. Asuka spoke in Japanese. A frustrated Bayley (incorrectly) took it to mean that Asuka was asking for a triple threat title match and agreed to it much to Iyo\u2019s chagrin.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: For multi-man championship matches, I usually go with the incumbent champion and this time is no exception.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Latino World Order vs. Bobby Lashley &amp; Montez Ford &amp; Angelo Dawkins<\/h3>\n<p>Story in a nutshell: After Bobby Lashley recruited Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, he wanted them to be more aggressive, so they visited this new aggression on Rey Mysterio and the rest of the L.W.O.<\/p>\n<p>The Street Profits, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, after a series of setbacks, were scouted by Bobby Lashley who liked their potential. He changed their look and encouraged them to be more \u201caggressive\u201d. (Basically, turn heel.) After L.W.O faction-mates Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar wrestled for Rey\u2019s WWE United States Championship, the Street Profits ambushed them. The rest of the L.W.O, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro, tried to make the save but they too were brought low. Now some permutation of the L.W.O tries to get revenge on Lashley\u2019s new group.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: With this being Lashley\u2019s new group\u2019s defacto debut, I expect them to win, especially since I had to look up the name of two of the members of the L.W.O. However, Dragon Lee of NXT has been hanging around and if he is one of the members representing the L.W.O, all bets are off.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2229197363\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/09\/02\/wwe-payback-results-9-2-kellers-report-on-seth-rollins-vs-shinsuke-nakamura-trish-stratus-vs-becky-lynch-in-a-cage-theory-vs-mysterio-la-knight-vs-miz-cody-on-waller-effect\/\">WWE PAYBACK RESULTS (9\/2): Keller\u2019s report on Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Trish Stratus vs. Becky Lynch in a cage, Theory vs. Mysterio, LA Knight vs. Miz, Cody on Waller Effect<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/10\/06\/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-results-10-06-powells-review-of-cody-rhodes-jey-uso-and-judgment-day-asuka-and-charlotte-flair-vs-iyo-sky-and-bayley-rey-mysterio-vs-bobby-lashley-in-a-non\/\">WWE Friday Night Smackdown results (10\/06): Powell\u2019s review of\u00a0 Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and Judgment Day, Asuka and Charlotte Flair vs. Iyo Sky and Bayley, Rey Mysterio vs. Bobby Lashley in a non-title match<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2441684403\"><div id=\"pwtor-789729178\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>On October 7, 2023, WWE Fastlane will emanate from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
