For the first time since 2007, WWE's final Pay-Per-View stop-off before WrestleMania did not involve the Elimination Chamber. Instead, a new PPV called Fast Lane was held as the February supershow. It went down this past Sunday in Memphis, Tennessee, and whilst some first-time matches seemed appealing beforehand, everyone recognised that this was going to be one big preview for WrestleMania 31. As it turned out, it provided more hints for potential WM matches than expected but, besides a shocking number of mistakes, it still provided enough worth in-ring action to merit a purchase in its own right (mind you, few viewers probably bought it; this month is free on the WWE Network, and Fast Lane was shown for free on Sky in the UK too).
The pre-show Kick Off featured an episode of Miz TV with Paul Heyman discussing the main event here and at Mania. It also saw more dissension between The Miz and his stunt double-turned-personal assistant Damien "Sandow" Mizdow. A showdown between these two is inevitable, and the roof will blow off when Mizdow finally turns on Miz, but I am still unsure of how fans will greet Mizdow once he becomes his own man again. Still, both deserve the chance to settle this in the ring at WrestleMania; their chemistry has been one of the funniest things on WWE TV in the last few years, and has made Mizdow a bigger star than he has ever been.
