Fastlane’s Opening Shocker: An Unlikely Duo Reigns Supreme

Fastlane 2023, hosted at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, was an event that promised surprises and delivered right from the get-go. The opening match saw an unexpected pairing of Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, two superstars from different wrestling backgrounds, coming together to challenge for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles. Their opponents, Judgment Day, were in for a tough fight.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions with numerous nearfalls. The turning point came when JD McDonagh mistakenly struck Damian Priest’s knee using his Money in the Bank briefcase. Seizing the opportunity, Cody Rhodes executed a Crossroads on the announce table. This was followed by a synchronized Cody Cutter, another Crossroads on Finn Balor, and the culmination saw Rhodes and Uso crowned as the new Undisputed Tag Team Champions. Their victory was celebrated with much fanfare, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the tag team division.

AND NEWWWWWWWW!
