Dave Meltzer has shared his ratings for WWE Fastlane.
On October 7th, WWE headed to Indianapolis for Fastlane and a card with three major titles on the line.
In the main event, Seth Rollins retained the World Heavyweight Title after a hard-hitting Last Man Standing Match against Shinsuke Nakamura. Rollins was on the end of a serious beating for much of the match as Nakamura targeted his injured back, but the champion fought through the pain to grab the win.
Elsewhere, Pat McAfee made a surprise return to call on WWE to bring WrestleMania to Indianapolis. The former NFL star then joined the commentary team as LA Knight and John Cena got the better of The Bloodline.
In the opening match of the night Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso won the Undisputed Tag Team Titles with a win over Finn Balor and Judgment Day. Everything seemed to be going the way of Judgment Day until JD McDonagh accidentally hit Priest with the Money In The Bank briefcase. This allowed Rhodes and Uso to get on top, and the American Nightmare picked up the win with a Cross Rhodes on Balor.
Meanwhile, Carlito made a surprise return, joining Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar.
