WWE hosted Fastlane 2023 on Saturday in Indianapolis.
They showed themselves in the pre-show Jade Cargill Arrival at the arena, greeting by Triple H.
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeated The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Damian Priest) to become the new undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. In the final moments, JD McDonagh came to the ring and as chaos unfolded, Ripley hit Uso with the briefcase, but Bálor could only get a two count and was shocked.
Priest and Rhodes brawled outside the ring and when Damian tried to put him through the announce table, McDonagh accidentally hit Priest with the briefcase and Rhodes followed up with a Cross Rhodes. Balor then receives another Cross Rhodes for the win.
AND NEWWWWWWWW!

The LWO (Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar) & Carlito (w/Zelina Vega) defeated Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits. After Escobar made his entrance with Vega, Mysterio competed without anyone at his side and it looked like it would be a 2-on-3 match.
As Mysterio attempted to return, Ford pulled Escobar out of the ring, causing Vega to interfere and attack Ford. As Vega encourages Mysterio in the middle of the ring, Carlito comes out with a new entrance theme. While Ford was stunned, Carlito made full use of his backstabber and secured the big win for a grateful LWO.

IYO SKY defeated Asuka & Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match to retain the WWE Women’s Championship with the help of Bayley.
John Cena and LA Knight defeated The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa) (w/Paul Heyman). Pat McAfee was at the commentary table. In the end, Sikoa was eliminated from the ring and after Cena hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle, Knight hit Uso with the BFT for the win.
After the match, Knight raised Cena’s hand as the crowd applauded both men.
Behind the Scenes: Judgment Day He thought about not leaving Indianapolis without the world heavyweight championship because Priest wanted to make money. However, Ripley explained that tonight was not the night that Priest’s knee was injured. Damian handed Rhea his briefcase.
In the main event, Seth “Freakin” Rollins defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the world heavyweight title in a last man standing match. Violent brawls broke out all over the arena and several risky moments occurred. In the end, they both returned to the stage area and Rollins hit Nakamura with a stomp. Rollins followed with a Falcon Arrow through a table and when the referee counted nine, Rollins got up and Nakamura collapsed and Rollins somehow miraculously won the match.
HOW DOES SETH ROLLINS DO THIS?! 😱
