Wwe fastlane 201711/20/2023 And yes, there was something really damn cool about seeing Joe on his first ever official WWE PPV. Joe likes to punch, Sami tends to get punched a lot - it all worked out in the end. And who knew? Maybe he'd eke out a quick rollup win and ruin Joe's debut momentum? Or maybe Finn Balor would show up and attack one or both of them? Nah, it was just a clean Coquina Clutch win for Joe, which is what he needed as he continues his top-bills path as a RAW-brand destroyer. ![]() Samoa Joe We knew Zayn would lose this one, but we also knew it'd be a fun match and that Sami would get a couple fiery comebacks. Winners: Akira Tozawa and Rich Swann Sami Zayn vs. If he did, it would almost step on Neville's toes a bit. Side note: What's with the Austin Aries video hype packages they've been running lately? He's been on commentary for months now and there hasn't been an inkling of him entering the cruiserweight scene. That being said, this was sort of a flat entry for Tozawa who's the "new face" to the main roster cruisers. This holds especially true given that Swann pinned Dar when it's Tozawa and Kendrick who were the two with an actual feud brewing. ![]() Like most WWE cruiserweight matches, unfortunately, it didn't matter who won or lost here. The Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar (Kickoff Match) Four very talented guys got in the ring for a high energy kickoff match that was more or less a disposable affair. And the next time Joe’s name is spoken, you can rest assured it will be with the proper respect.Does Goldberg possibly winning the belt mean that Lesnar takes it at 'Mania and we get Brock as champ once again? Or does Goldberg retain against Lesnar and keep running with it? OR, will Owens somehow manage to squeak past Goldberg and defend his strap against Jericho? There are endless (okay, like three or four) possibilities here! Strap yourselves in for a Sunday night full of flagship show fight as I live-blog everything here and live-tweet things over at Roman Reigns will go up against the "monster among men" Braun Strowman, Charlotte will look to keep her PPV streak going as she challenges for Bayley's RAW Women's Championship, Samoa Joe will make his main roster PPV debut in a bout against Sami Zayn, and more! For Joe, meanwhile, the path of destruction continues. That Zayn didn’t submit - he passed out in the hold - is a small measure of victory he can take here. Joe was ready, however, catching Zayn mid-sprint with the Uranage before locking in the Coquina Clutch. After Zayn suckered Joe into a small package near-fall, The Underdog from the Underground briefly gained a second wind and managed to line his foe up for the Helluva Kick. There was only a brief sequence toward the end where it seemed like the lead was in doubt. Of course, Sami is too defiant to simply roll over for anyone, but every bit of separation Zayn managed to gain was short-lived. Knowing that Zayn’s strength comes from his mobility, The Samoan Submission Machine locked in a variety of debilitating holds designed to whittle away at Zayn’s motor. While he came as advertised and then some, Joe proved himself to be a peerless strategist in the contest as well. ![]() During their WWE Fastlane 2017 encounter, Sami Zayn attempts a Blue Thunder Bomb to halt Samoa Joe from getting down to business.
