Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade set for WWE Fastlane pre-show

With the addition of a pre-show match, the card for Fastlane is now up to eight matches.

Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade was announced for the Fastlane pre-show on tonight’s go-home edition of SmackDown. Mysterio, Andrade, and Samoa Joe all answered R-Truth’s United States Championship open challenge on the episode, with Joe pinning Andrade after hitting a uranage. Mysterio had hit the 619 and a frog splash on Andrade before Joe broke up the pin with a senton.

This was the second week in a row that Mysterio and Andrade were involved in a US title open challenge. R-Truth pinned Mysterio with a roll-up on last week’s SmackDown after Mysterio hit the 619 on Andrade. Andrade then tried to attack Mysterio in a post-match angle, but Mysterio countered and went for the 619 again. Andrade bailed before Mysterio could hit it.

Andrade pinned Mysterio in a tag match and a singles match on SmackDown in January. They had a two-out-of-three falls match after that, with each winning a fall before the third fall ended in a disqualification.

The Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio is hosting Fastlane on Sunday. Here’s the updated card:

  • WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defending against Kevin Owens
  • Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair (if Lynch wins, she’ll be added to the Raw Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania)
  • The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose) vs. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley
  • SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos defending against Shane McMahon & The Miz
  • WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks & Bayley defending against Nia Jax & Tamina
