In the main event, going the predictable route with Roman Reigns disappointed many who'd invested in Dean Ambrose's story. Earlier in the night, the decision to put Kane, Big Show & Ryback over the Wyatt Family confounded most of the WWE Universe who'd bellieved Bray Wyatt was being (re)built for a big match at WrestleMania.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, those two booking moves are related.
As most viewers had guessed, the plan coming out of Royal Rumble was to build toward Wyatt vs. Brock Lesnar in North Texas. That story would have included the Family interfering in Fastlane's main event.
Meltzer says those plans were changed over the weekend, when WWE decided that Lesnar's Mania opponent will be Dean Ambrose.
I was confused as to why The Wyatt Family lost to Kane, Show, and Ryback largely because it was believed they would move into a feud with Lesnar. Wyatt's losing (again) was still an odd booking decision but this makes a lot more sense and quite frankly, is a lot more exciting. Ambrose did a lot of great work in the build to this feud from all that I saw and Ambrose is one of the few wrestlers the fans will get behind in a match against Lesnar. Should be a great David vs Goliath story in a way. Definitely going to be rooting for Ambrose.
