WWE Fastlane is one of the last stops on the “road” to WrestleMania. Get it? Because cars? Road? Car go fast? Okay, it’s not the most creative name for a show, but it is a show where we’ve seen some great matches over the years.
The show is available to bet on at many sportsbooks and we’re going to tell you the best ones to do it at. We’ll also explain a bit more about betting on WWE as well as look into some past upsets.

What WWE Fastlane Bets Are There?
Fastlane is a WWE special event where bettors can place wagers on the winners of professional wrestling matches. The way this works is a moneyline is set on each side based on how big of a favorite one wrestler might be.
With Fastlane, we can often see some big favorites as the matches at WrestleMania are usually set well ahead of time and Fastlane is more of a “tune-up”. (Get it, cars?)
For an example, let’s take a look at the 2019 Fastlane and the betting odds for one of the matches on that show.
The Shield (-395) vs Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley (+275)
The Corbin/McIntyre/Lashley team was a big underdog here. If you bet $100 on them and they won, it would pay $275. They didn’t win though. The Shield did. A $395 pay would pay $100 or a $100 pay would only pay around $25.
Common WWE Fastlane Questions:
Any big upsets at WWE Fastlane?
The biggest upset at WWE Fastlane took place at the 2017 edition of the show when Bayley won at +500 against Charlotte Flair who was a -900 favorite.
This was a real shocker at the time as Charlotte had a long undefeated streak on WWE pay-per-view that just ended before WrestleMania. It really seemed like if that streak ever ended it would be at the biggest show of them all, but instead it came here. At Fastlane.
What Fastlane Betting Props Are There?
You will usually see a variety of different betting props for Fastlane and it will depend on the match.
All the matches will have the ability to bet on the star ratings given by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer. They will set up a line as to what the star rating will be, and you can bet whether it will be below that, above that, or exactly that.
Then you will have individual betting props depending on the match. At Fastlane 2021 for example you had Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan. One example of a betting prop for that match is how many spears Roman would give Bryan and it would be an over/under. You can also bet on the duration of the matches.
Then there are specific match bets for the tag title matches. Using Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax vs Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair as one example – you would be able to bet what competitor would be involved in the finish. So if you think Sasha or Bianca will be involved in the finish – regardless of whether they pin or be pinned – you could bet on that particular prop.

WWE Fastlane Betting Strategy:
It’s kind of unfortunate, but this is a favorites show. On the road to WrestleMania, you’ll often find that WWE’s plans are already set and changes aren’t likely. That means the favorites are almost always going to win at this show.
In my years of tracking, this show has only seen upsets about 18% of the time. That’s pretty dang low.
So for this show I am looking at favorites in the -125 to -200 range. It’s not a show where I like to take a lot of risks because it’s not a show where WWE like to take a lot of risks.
