The big announcement regarding the three upcoming editions of WrestleMania has shaken things up for the WWE pay-per-view calendar of 2021 and even beyond. While Royal Rumble is the immediate focus for the biggest professional wrestling promotion in the world, things will eventually lead to the Show of Shows. Two more shows will be there, though.
WWE pay-per-view Fastlane is the yearly event to take us to the end of the line before WrestleMania. This one was scrapped in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic just started but it’s coming back this year. It seems the event has been booked in its original slot of March. Alongside the upcoming WrestleMania schedules, information is available on the upcoming WWE Network shows beyond the 2021 Rumble.

WWE pay-per-view Fastlane is reportedly taking place on Sunday, March 21 from the WWE Thunderdome at the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida, according to reports of PWInsider. It was previously reported that WrestleMania 37 will be a 2-night event this year from the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. April 10th and 11th are the new dates.
“The 2021 WWE Fastlane PPV will be broadcast from the WWE ThunderDome on Sunday 3/21, PWInsider.com has confirmed.”
WWE has reportedly changed the planned date for the 2021 Elimination Chamber, as well. This show was originally scheduled for February 28, but now PWInsider mentioned that the event will be held on February 21 instead. Chamber was likely to be the final WWE pay-per-view event before WrestleMania 37 but it’s not since Fastlane will be waiting in March.

Thus, the confirmed WWE pay-per-views for the year 2021 stands as follows,
Royal Rumble (January 31), NXT TakeOver (February 14), Elimination Chamber (February 21), Fastlane (March 21), WrestleMania 37: Night One (April 10), and WrestleMania 37: Night Two (April 11). While all of the main roster shows except for WrestleMania is expected to go down inside the Tropicana Field, the NXT shows will be carried out from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.
As per WWE’s confirmations, WrestleMania 38 will take place in Arlington, Texas at AT&T Stadium on April 3, 2022, while WrestleMania 39 will be held in Los Angeles, California at Sofi Stadium on April 2, 2023.
Meanwhile, WWE pay-per-view Fastlane will be used to stack things up on the Road to WrestleMania 37. It’ll be interesting to see how WWE will build things up but they have to keep controls on long-term booking.
