WWE Fast Lane 2015: John Cena to fight Rusev following Royal Rumble altercation
Triple H challenges Sting to a face-to-face confrontation

John Cena will battle Rusev at the inaugural Fast Lane event.
Cena and The Bulgarian Brute got into a heated exchange after the Royal Rumble on Sunday when the latter gate-crashed the former’s backstage interview, and the two will now settle their differences in a one-on-one match on February 22.
Cena has spent the last few months trying to win back the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Brock Lesnar but ultimately to no avail, losing at Night of Champions in a singles encounter and at Royal Rumble in a Triple Threat that also featured Seth Rollins.
Rusev, meanwhile, has still to be pinned or submitted since joining WWE’s main roster in early 2014 and holds the United States Title after winning the belt from Sheamus in November.
The Super Athlete also shone in the Royal Rumble Match at the weekend, eliminating six Superstars and making it to the final two before being ousted by eventual winner Roman Reigns.
Confrontation
Sting could appear at WWE Fast Lane, too, after he was challenged to a face-to-face confrontation by Triple H after twice meddling in The Game’s affairs.
The former WCW star first emerged at Survivor Series to help Dolph Ziggler pin Rollins and ensure that The Authority were, albeit temporarily, removed from power.
Sting then made his Raw bow on January 19, distracting Rollins once more to allow Cena to cover him and win back the jobs of the previously fired Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan.
Triple H is hunting answers and will be hopeful of getting them at Fast Lane if the face-painted veteran agrees to meet him inside Memphis, Tenessee’s FedExForum.
