WWE Fastlane's live stream is about to go live as the green light has been given on the long and zaggy road to WrestleMania 37. With a huge matchup at the top of the card tonight and plenty of room for makeshift surprises, we are already set to expect the unexpected.

And we're glad this show is on the short card, because we've got some great fights on the card. Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon, which we felt was ridiculous when we first learned it was being put together, was removed from Fastlane and put back on the card. I hope Brown doesn't go home covered in green slime again.

As for Bryan vs. Raines, I'm just excited to see this fight for the first time in 6 years. Yes, according to Cagematch, the last time these two went one-on-one was at Fastlane in 2015, and since then both have been away from active duty, so this is something of a treat. Nevertheless, everyone expects Raines to retain and continue as The Head of the Table/Tribal Chief, so it will take a lot of staging to make Bryan believe he has a chance.

Big E's Intercontinental title defense will be against the newly heeled Apollo Crews; E is still developing, but Crews has been on a losing streak recently and needs a big win to make his new transition meaningful.

Then there's Drew McKinstry and Seamus - this should be a fun brawl, but no stakes. The WWE Women's Tag Team Title match between Shayna Baszler & Naia Jax vs. Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair doesn't seem to matter at all, except to increase the latter team's antipathy toward the Lessonmania match.

And that just leaves the curious case of Randy Orton vs. Alexa Bliss. The latter provoked the former to meet her at the PPV, but we doubt that WWE would actually conduct an intersex wrestling match, especially on the first night at the Peacock.

Everything you need to watch a live stream of WWE Fastlane 2021 is here:

Peacock and the WWE Network (more on that later) are widely available and fairly affordable, but if you're away from home and want a PPV on logging onto public Wi-Fi to stream (which I have done in the UK among other places), you may want to check out a VPN. I use Wi-FI networks to cut down on data usage, but any unsecured activity is subject to eavesdropping.

International viewers will be quite jealous of U.S. viewers who can save up to 50% by switching to Peacock (unless they get the $9.99/month ad-free tier).

The best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of most users, offering excellent compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.

There are two ways to watch Fastlane live streams, which can be confusing. Existing WWE Network subscribers in the United States can watch there, and this is the first WWE PPV available on Peacock. If you are not already a subscriber, now is a great time to subscribe.

Now through Lesslmania 37, Peacock is $2.50 per month for the first four months. That's a total of $10 for the four months, about the same monthly fee WWE Network subscribers are paying now. International subscribers would still pay the full rate.

However, since this is the last month for WWE Network in the U.S., it would be foolish to subscribe to the network now at this bargain rate for a peacock ($5 per month after that) The WWE Network will remain the primary way to watch WWE live internationally. The WWE Network will remain the primary way to watch WWE live internationally.
