[7] At the Royal Rumble, Kalisto defeated Alberto Del Rio to win the WWE United States Championship.
[8][11] Kevin Owens won his second Intercontinental Championship on the February 15 episode of Raw in a fatal five-way match also involving Tyler Breeze, Dolph Ziggler, Stardust and then-champion Dean Ambrose.
[15] During the Fastlane Kickoff pre-show, Kalisto defended the United States Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a two out of three falls match.
Del Rio won the second fall after a Double Foot Stomp on Kalisto, who was hanging on the middle rope.
[16] After that, The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman) faced Big Show, Kane, and Ryback.
[16] In an unannounced penultimate match, Curtis Axel (accompanied by Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, and Heath Slater) faced R-Truth.
[16] In the main event, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) fought to determine the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 32.
Back to the ring, Lesnar performed two more German Suplexes and an F-5 on Reigns, but Ambrose avoided a pinfall at a two count.
After brawling themselves, Reigns and Ambrose stopped Lesnar from returning to the match with a second Double Powerbomb through a second announce table.
Lesnar jumped back to the ring and performed a Double German Suplex on Reigns and Ambrose, while the last was on the shoulders of the first.
Aaron Oster of The Baltimore Sun reviewed the pay-per-view as "solid", but noted that the show was "received so poorly" by fans that it led to "#CancelWWENetwork trending on Twitter once again".
While the "match itself was good for the most part", the finish was questioned by Oster: "Why was Reigns able to jump right up after he got hit several times with a steel chair?"
For the women's title match, "Brie looked OK" but was not on the level of Charlotte's previous opponents, Paige and Becky Lynch.
"[17] Jason Powell of Pro Wrestling Dot Net "felt letdown by the overall show until the main event".
For the matches, Powell was high on the main event ("very good" and without "a dull moment"), Jericho-Styles ("good drama down the stretch... Jericho did a really nice job of acting like he was in agony as he sold the Calf Crusher") and the Divas Championship bout ("an entertaining match with Brie using a lot of her husband's moves").
Caldwell criticized the "tone-deaf", "Super Cena booking" of Reigns as WWE failing to change the "presentation for a non-main-eventer masquerading in a main event role".
Owens-Ziggler and Brie-Charlotte (2 stars) were both described as bouts where "the audience didn't really buy the babyface challenger having a shot to win".
The six-man tag match was rated 2.25 stars, with Caldwell questioning if the Wyatts needed to resort to "another promo/sneak-attack trying to save face after another big loss".
Caldwell was also negative on Edge and Christian's segment as "none of this made any sense from a character alignment perspective", as well as the Axel-Truth match for even happening, writing that "the PPV has gone off the rails, like a third hour of Raw".
[19] On the following night's episode of Raw, Brock Lesnar attacked Dean Ambrose in the Joe Louis Arena parking lot in Detroit for costing him the match at Fastlane.
The still-injured Ambrose drove an ambulance back into the arena to challenge Lesnar in a No Holds Barred Street Fight at WrestleMania 32.
[20] On the following night's episode of Raw, Chris Jericho called out AJ Styles and told him he finally earned his respect.
[25] Over the next few weeks, WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods) continued to mock The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, King Barrett, and Rusev) in backstage segments.
At Roadblock, The New Day (Big E and Kingston) retained the WWE Tag Team Championship against Sheamus and Barrett.
