Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa brutally attacked John Cena and AJ Styles this week on SmackDown. The attack was so devastating that Styles was immediately taken to the local medical facility in an ambulance. However, prior to the turmoil, Cena signed the contract and made the match official for Fastlane.
As of now, John Cena will face Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at Fastlane, along with a tag team partner. The replacement of The Phenomenal One in the matchup is yet to be determined. However, there are three superstars who can be a possible replacement for AJ Styles against The Bloodline members at Fastlane 2023.
3. Jey Uso
Jey Uso is the only person in WWE who knows The Bloodline inside out. He was a former member of the faction himself. Moreover, he has some scores to settle with his twin brother as well, which would make perfect sense for him to be John Cena’s partner. The 38-year-old was sent to Monday Night Raw after he quit WWE last month.
It is highly rumored that Jey Uso will face Jimmy Uso next year at WrestleMania 40. The seeds of the mega match can be sown at Fastlane, which can eventually pave the way for the Uso brothers at the Showcase of The Immortals. Therefore, Main Event Jey could replace AJ Styles at Fastlane 2023.
2. Randy Orton
It’s been over a year since Randy Orton appeared on WWE TV. He was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center. The Viper was in good shape, according to those who saw him recently. With him being present at the Performance Center, it appears that he is preparing to get in shape for his much-anticipated return.
There are chances that he could return at Fastlane. The Bloodline saga is the hottest story currently going on in WWE. Therefore, there couldn’t be any better place for him to show up. Moreover, he shares a good amount of history with John Cena. It can be called back to see the two legends teaming up once again.
1. LA Knight
LA Knight was all set to appear this week on SmackDown before he was pulled out due to COVID-19. However, The Megastar can return before Fastlane to take on the place of the Phenomenal One. There have been rumors that WWE is planning to put Knight and Cena in a tag team match against Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
According to rumors, WWE has plans for The Megastar to involve him in a feud with Roman Reigns. Therefore, teaming up with John Cena to take on The Bloodline members will be the first step in his potential feud with The Tribal Chief. LA Knight and Cena had good chemistry at Payback as well, and they could possibly re-unite to take on Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
