WWE Fastlane 2023 is scheduled for this Saturday, October 7th, in Indianapolis, Indiana. So far, there are five action-packed matches on the match card.
The best WWE betting sites have great odds available for every match taking place in Indy this weekend. Keep reading to see the latest betting odds and my predictions for Fastlane WWE 2023.
When Is WWE Fastlane 2023?
It has been over a month since the WWE’s main roster put on a Premium Live Event (PLE). In that time, the company officially merged with the UFC. This will be the first PLE of the two main brands since the merger.
WWE Fastlane 2023 is taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana. The action is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, October 7th.
Fastlane WWE 2023 Match Card
At the time of writing, there are only four matches scheduled for this weekend’s PLE. But more matches could be added on the go-home RAW and SmackDown shows this week.
Currently, the matches on the Fastlane WWE 2023 match card include the following:
Last Man Standing Match: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the World Heavyweight Championship
John Cena and LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso
Triple Threat Match: IYO SKY vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s Championship
LWO vs. Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits
The Judgement Day (c) vs. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships
The latest addition to Saturday’s card came on the go-home RAW show. It was announced that Finn Balor and Damian Priest of the Judgement Day will defend their tag team titles against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.
WWE Fastlane Odds
WWE is holding a PLE in Indy for the first time since 2016. With both SmackDown and RAW superstars appearing on the card, fans are sure to be in for a great night of exciting action. Here are the latest betting odds for WWE Fastlane 2023.
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Seth Rollins (-300)
Shinsuke Nakamura (+200)
Seth Rollins retained his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Payback 2023. The two superstars will run it back this weekend in Indianapolis. However, this time around Rollins will have to defend his belt in a Last Man Standing Match.
Nakamura has made a point of targeting Rollins’ injured back. So, you can expect to see that continue this weekend as he attempts to win his first world championship in the WWE.

BetUS has Rollins (-300) favored to retain his title this weekend. Nakamura is listed at +200 to defeat Rollins and claim the top spot on RAW.
I picked Rollins to retain at Payback, and I am picking him to get the win over Nakamura again this weekend. Nakamura’s heel turn has worked so far, but I do not think he is the man to dethrone Rollins.
Instead, I think we may finally see Damian Priest cash in his Money in the Bank contract. I thought it would happen at Payback, especially when Rollins had to crawl out of the ring.
Taking advantage of Rollins after what should be a brutal Last Man Standing Match would be the perfect opportunity for Priest. Plus, it would help bring more heat to the Judgement Day, who are supposed to be the top heel group on RAW.
Fastlane 2023 prediction:
Seth Rollins retains (-300)
John Cena and LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso
John Cena and LA Knight (-1000)
Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa (+500)
On the SmackDown side, one of the top stars from the late 2000s and 2010s will be returning to action. John Cena will be teaming up with LA Knight to take on Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
This will be the first time that we see Jimmy and Solo team up on a PLE without other members of the Bloodline present. Jey is on RAW and out of the faction, for now. Roman Reigns is not scheduled to appear, marking the second PLE the Tribal Chief has missed.

Cena and Knight are massive favorites, according to BetUS and other top real money betting sites. The duo is listed at -1000 to get the win this weekend. Uso and Sikoa are listed at +500.
A win for Cena and Knight will not do much for the pair. However, losing will put more pressure on Jimmy Uso and help progress the Bloodline storyline, which has fizzled lately. It might even be enough to get Reigns to show up.
With that in mind, I am leaning toward Cena and Knight in this one. My only reservation is that Cena has not been a successful in-ring competitor during the few matches he has had in recent years.
However, given the state of the Bloodline storyline, I doubt Uso and Sikoa pick up the win. Plus, a win this weekend could help further Knight’s push as a budding star on the Blue Brand.
Fastlane 2023 prediction:
John Cena and LA Knight win (-1000)
IYO Sky vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair
IYO SKY (-300)
Asuka (+400)
Charlotte Flair (+400)
The second title match currently scheduled for WWE Fastlane 2023 is a Triple Threat Match for the Women’s Championship. IYO SKY will put her belt on the line against both Asuka and Charlotte Flair.
SKY won the belt at SummerSlam when she cashed in her MitB contract on Bianca Belair. Belair had just won the championship by defeating Asuka and Flair in a Triple Threat Match.

Officially, there are only three competitors in this match. However, SKY’s fellow Damage CTRL member Bayley figures to play a part in this one. In theory, this should give SKY an advantage over the other competitors.
I think SKY (-300) retains, but she does so in spite of Bayley’s interference. WWE has been hinting at tension within Damage CTRL for a while, and Bayley has cost SKY in matches before. Nearly costing SKY her belt would be one way to further build up a future match between the two.
If SKY does lose, then I would lean toward Asuka. Both Asuka and Flair are listed at +400 to win this weekend at BetUS. Asuka would be the better option for a one-on-one match with SKY later on, especially given the history between the two wrestlers.
Fastlane 2023 prediction:
LWO vs. Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits
Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits (-500)
LWO (+300)
Another match that was added to the Fastlane card last Friday was the LWO taking on Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. This six-man tag match came about after The Street Profits attacked the LWO on SmackDown. Lashley then joined in on the assault.
The Street Profits have been working with Lashley to help take their games to the next level. All three men have seemingly turned heel, as well, and could rival both the Bloodline and the Judgement Day in short order.

Lashley and The Street Profits opened as huge favorites in this one. A win would make since for the new group as they try to establish themselves at top heels on SmackDown.
The LWO has not done much since they reformed earlier this year. Rey Mysterio is currently the United States Champion, but that is the only belt that the group has won in its current iteration.
I think Lashley and the Street Profits (-500) will get the win in this one. A victory on a PLE would help add legitimacy to the newly formed trio. Also, it would be a good way to build tension between Mysterio and fellow LWO member Santos Escobar, who just challenged Mysterio for the belt last week.
Fastlane 2023 prediction:
Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits win (-500)
The Judgement Day (C) vs. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso
The Judgement Day (-300)
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso (+200)
It took until the final week before Fastlane, but the Judgement Day finally have a match at the event. Finn Balor and Damian Priest will defend their Undisputed Tag Team Championships. Their opponents will be the unlikely duo of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

Rhodes helped bring Uso to RAW from SmackDown and announced the transfer at WWE Payback. Since then, Rhodes has been one of Uso’s biggest defenders on RAW and is helping him change his image.
This should be one of the better matches on the card given the amount of star power in the contest. However, I think the Judgement Day (-300) end up retaining their belts.
It is too early in their title run for Priest and Balor to drop the belts. Also, when they do lose the titles, I think it will be to a real team, not Rhodes and Uso. Another tag team title run does not make a lot of sense for Uso at this point either, since he came to RAW to be a singles star.
Fastlane 2023 prediction:
The Judgement Day retain (-300)
