FASTLANE WAS INTRODUCED AS THE LAST STOP DOWN THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA

Fastlane was introduced as a replacement for Elimination Chamber, in what was the final stoppage down the “road to Wrestlemania.” The name of the event is a reference to its position on. It occupied the February slot of WWE’s pay-per-view calendar.  In 2015 and 2016, Fastlane was held in February until after WWE reinstated the brand split in July 2016, which moved it to March in the successive years.

In 2017, Fastlane was a Raw-exclusive pay-per-view and in 2018, it switched to being SmackDown-exclusive. In 2020, Fastlane was replaced by Super ShowDown on the pay-per-view calendar, but now, according to reports, it is back. WWE Fastlane 2021 will be held at Tropicana Field in St Petersburg, Florida.

WRESTLEMANIA 37 WILL ALSO BE A FLORIDA-HOSTED EVENT

Tied to this information is the recently revealed news that Wrestlemania 37 will now be held at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The stadium was the planned spot for Wrestlemania 36, but in a last-minute change necessitated by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the location had to be changed.
