Randy Orton battles Jinder Mahal before his first-ever U.S. Title Match at WWE Fastlane

This Sunday at WWE Fastlane, Randy Orton will face Bobby Roode in The Viper’s first-ever match for the
United States Championship. But before he can turn 100 percent of his focus to The Glorious One, The
Viper will have to deal with another thorn in his side, Jinder Mahal.
The Modern Day Maharaja has been trying to stir up trouble between Orton and Roode in recent weeks,
using the SmackDown LIVE Top 10 Superstars List to drive a wedge between the two, setting off a few me
lees in the meantime. Surely, Mahal is looking to slither into a title opportunity of his own in the near
future. Will he be able to make a major statement against The Viper on SmackDown LIVE?

at WWE Fastlane, champion AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler will square off on Smackdown LIVE.
The WWE Champion will be looking to ride a victory into the biggest title defense of his reign, while
Ziggler will be out to steal the show and perhaps show the champion that his title (and his place at
WrestleMania) are in danger. Who will win this all-important battle?

Charlotte Flair and Ruby Riott come face to face before SmackDown Women’s Title Match

With Charlotte Flair and Ruby Riott both holding victories over their rival’s two closest allies,
there’s only “one to go” for each Superstar when they clash for The Queen’s SmackDown Women’s
Championship this Sunday at WWE Fastlane.
But before they lock up on Sunday, the two rivals will come face to face on SmackDown LIVE. What
will the champion and the leader of The Riott Squad have to say? Will they be able to keep from
brawling before their championship showdown?

Will Becky Lynch and Carmella come to blows?

Last Tuesday during SmackDown LIVE, Carmella was answering questions from the WWE Universe on social
media, but soon turned to mocking Becky Lynch with Natalya. The Irish Lass Kicker didn’t take too
kindly to the insults and issued a challenge to Ms. Money in the Bank.
The two continued to trade barbs on social media, with Lynch landing a particularly devastating blow
on Twitter:
What will happen when these two Superstars are in the same building? Will this social media rivalry
turn physical? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
