Samoa Joe On What WWE Fastlane Was All About, Matt Hardy Congratulates The Usos, Fans On Fastlane
- Sunday's WWE Fastlane pay-per-view saw WWE United States Champion Samoa Joe complete his first title defense, retaining over Rey Mysterio, Andrade and R-Truth in a Fatal 4 Way. Above is post-match video of Kayla Braxton talking to Joe and asking what the win meant to him.
"What did it mean for me? Kayla, for once this is a very, very excellent question," Joe said. "You see, tonight was about setting a precedence. Tonight was about getting the world used to how things are going to go from now on. I walk to that ring as the US Champion, I stomp out anybody they put in front of me and I walk out, just like I walked in. Now Kayla, in celebration of your excellent questions, of your journalistic integrity, I'll give you a little bonus, a little prediction for the future – that any man who decides that they have what it takes to be a US Champion, to any man who lies to himself when he looks in the mirror and says, 'I, I can beat Samoa Joe and take from him,' Know this... you may come and you may try, but you will fail... and your bonus prize, make sure you take a nice little nap."
- As seen below, 56% of WWE fans on Twitter have voted for The Shield vs. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley as their favorite match at WWE Fastlane with 27,406 votes. 23% voted for Mustafa Ali vs. Kevin Owens vs. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan while 11% voted for Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair and 10% went with Ricochet & Aleister Black vs. Chad Gable & Bobby Roode vs. RAW Tag Team Champions The Revival.
