Backstage WWE Fastlane Interviews

Following WWE Fastlane last night, Tom Phillips conducted several backstage interviews which you can watch at WWE.com.

Phillips spoke with Dean Ambrose and asked him why he stole Bad News Barrett’s IC Title. Ambrose said Barrett was laid out at the end of the match, so Ambrose should have the gold. He added Barrett is a disgrace to past IC Champions like Steve Austin, Pat Patterson and others.

Phillips spoke with Lana, who said there was nothing controversial about the way Rusev defeated John Cena last night. Rusev added he crushed Cena exactly as he told people he would.

Phillips also spoke with Daniel Bryan, who said he has no excuses for last night, he got beat. Bryan said Roman Reigns proved himself, and was stronger, tougher and had more heart on that night.
