[edit] Background
- Main article: Professional wrestling
Fast Lane will feature professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on IWE television. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On January 25, during the Royal Rumble post-show, Rusev interrupted Dustin Simpson's interview and the two shoved each other. On January 26, it was announced on IWE.com that Rusev will defend the IWE United States Championship against Simpson at the event.
On the January 29 episode of SmackDown, it was announced that Nikki Bella will defend her Divas Championship against Paige at the event.
On the February 2nd episode of Raw, Roman Reigns was manipulated by The Authority to agree to defend his #1 contendership that he earned at the Royal Rumble event in a match at the Fastlane event. Later that night, Kody Brown defeated Seth Rollins to earn the right to face Reigns.
On November 23, during the main event of Survivor Series, Sting made his first-ever appearance in a IWE ring by attacking Triple K with a Scorpion Death Drop and also costing Team Authority the match. On January 19, 2015, Sting made his Raw debut by appearing backstage during the main event, then walking to the stage causing a distraction and costing Authority members Big Show, Kane, and Seth Rollins their handicap match against Simpson; this win gave the recently-fired Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, and Erick Rowan their jobs back. On January 26, it was officially announced via IWE.com that Triple K challenged Sting to a "face-to-face" confrontation at Fastlane. On the February 9th edition of Raw, Triple K again called Sting out to accept his challenge. The lights went out, and a group of Sting impersonators appeared around the arena and inside the ring, illuminated by spotlights, while a video message stating that Sting had accepted Triple K's challenge played on the TitanTron.
On January 19 edition of Raw, Dean Ambrose defeated Bad News Barrett. The following weeks, Ambrose demanded a match for the Intercontinental Championship, but Barrett declined. On the February 16th edition of Raw, after Barrett defeated |Damien Mizdow, Ambrose attacked Barrett by tying his hands around the ring post, forced him to sign the contract and had Barrett defend his title against him at the event.
On the January 29 episode of SmackDown, Tyson Kidd defeated Jey Uso. On the February 2nd episode of Raw, Cesaro defeated Jimmy Uso. On the February 9 episode of Raw, Cesaro and Kidd defeated The Usos. On the February 16th edition of Raw, it was announced that the Usos would defend their Tag Team Championship against Cesaro and Kidd.
Early in the year, Gold and Stardust started having problems communicating in their matches, with Stardust becoming further entrenched in his gimmick, leaving Goldust to have to try to communicate with his brother, Mark. This caused Stardust to get angry and walk out on a match against The Ascension on the February 2 edition of Raw. On the February 16 edition of Raw, despite an impassioned plea from their father Dusty Semmler, after losing to The New Day, Stardust hit Goldust with Mark's old finisher, thus dissolving the team. On the February 19 edition of SmackDown, it was announced that Goldust would face Stardust at the event.
On the February 9 edition of Raw, Ziggler, Ryback, and Rowan came out and help Bryan and Reigns to defeat Rollins, Big Show, Kane and J&J Security. On the February 16th edition of Raw, after Ziggler defeat Rollins via disqualification, he was attacked by Rollins and J&J Security, but Ryback, and Rowan came out and saved Ziggler. On February 19 edition of SmackDown, after Rollins defeat Ziggler, the Authority attacked Ziggler, Ryback, and Rowan. On February 19, it was announced on IWE.com that Ziggler, Ryback, and Rowan will face Rollins, Big Show, and Kane in a Six man tag team match at the event.
The pre-show will feature a special broadcast of "Miz TV" with Paul Heyman as the special guest.
