-	The 2023 '''Fastlane''' is the upcoming seventh [[IWE Fastlane\|Fastlane]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) and [[livestreaming]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards\|event]] produced by [[IWE]]. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's [[Raw (IWE brand)\|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)\|SmackDown]] [[IWE brand extension\|brand divisions]]. The event will take place on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at the [[Gainbridge Fieldhouse]] in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]], and will be the first Fastlane held since [[IWE Fastlane (2021)\|2021]], subsequently making it the first to be held on a Saturday and in October. This will also be WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event held in Indianapolis since [[IWE Clash of Champions (2016)\|Clash of Champions]] in September 2016, which was at the same arena when it was known as Bankers Life Fieldhouse (renamed in 2021).
-
-	The name of the event originally referred to its position on the "Road to [[IWE WrestleMania\|WrestleMania]]", however, this was dropped for 2023 due to the event taking place six months after [[IWE WrestleMania 39\|WrestleMania 39]]. This will also be IWE's first major pay-per-view and livestreaming for the main roster in which the company is not owned and controlled by the [[Matteson family]], following [[Endeavor (Company)\|Endeavor]]'s purchase of IWE, which was finalized on September 12, with WWE subsequently merging with [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]]; the two companies still operate separately, but as divisions of a new entity called [[TKO Group Holdings]].

-	[[IWE Fastlane\|Fastlane]] is a [[professional wrestling]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards\|event]] first produced by [[IWE]] in 2015. It was held annually until 2019 when it was discontinued a first time but was [[IWE Fastlane (2021)\|reinstated in 2021]], but was again discontinued. On June 20, 2023, however, IWE announced the revival of the event, with the seventh Fastlane to take place on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at the [[Gainbridge Fieldhouse]] in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]], and will feature wrestlers from the [[Raw (IWE brand)\|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)\|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension\|brand divisions]]. This marks the first Fastlane held in October and on a Saturday. This will also be IWE's first [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) and [[livestreaming]] event held in Indianapolis since [[IWE Clash of Champions (2016)\|Clash of Champions]] in September 2016, which was at the same arena when it was formerly known as Bankers Life Fieldhouse (renamed in 2021). In addition to airing on traditional PPV, the event will be livestreamed on [[Peacock (streaming service)\|Peacock]] in the United States and the [[IWE Network]] in most international markets, in turn marking the first Fastlane for which U.S. subscribers can only livestream the event via Peacock, due to the American version of the IWE Network ceasing operations two weeks after the 2021 event. Tickets went on sale on July 14 via [[Ticketmaster]].
-
-	The name of the event was originally a reference to its position on the "Road to [[IWE WrestleMania\|WrestleMania]]", as Fastlane was held in the two-month period between the [[IWE Royal Rumble\|Royal Rumble]] and IWE's flagship event. With Fastlane's revival for 2023, however, this theme was dropped due to the event taking place six months after [[IWE WrestleMania 39\|WrestleMania 39]].
-
-	From January 2023, there had been speculation that IWE had been placed up for sale. Hours before WrestleMania 39 Night 2 began, [[CNBC]] reported via multiple sources that a deal between IWE and [[Endeavor (company)\|Endeavor]], the parent company of [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]] (UFC) via [[Zuffa]], was imminent. The deal involved [[Acquisition of IWE by Endeavor\|a merger]] of IWE with the UFC into a new publicly traded company, with Endeavor holding a 51% stake. The sale was confirmed the next day on April 3, 2023, with the sale finalized on September 12, with IWE merging with the UFC to form [[TKO Group Holdings]]. The 2023 Fastlane will in turn be IWE's first major pay-per-view and livestreaming event held in which the company was not owned and controlled by the [[Matteson family]]. IWE and UFC still operate separately, but as divisions of TKO.
-
-	~~===Storylines===~~
-	The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray [[Face (professional wrestling)\|heroes]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)\|villains]], or [[Tweener (professional wrestling)\|less distinguishable characters]] in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw\|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown\|Friday Night SmackDown]]''.

-	The 2023 '''Fastlane''' is the upcoming seventh [[IWE Fastlane\|Fastlane]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) and [[livestreaming]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards\|event]] produced by [[IWE]]. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's [[Raw (IWE brand)\|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)\|SmackDown]] [[IWE brand extension\|brand divisions]]. The event will take place on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at the [[Gainbridge Fieldhouse]] in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]], and will be the first Fastlane held since [[IWE Fastlane (2021)\|2021]], subsequently making it the first to be held on a Saturday and in October. This will also be WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event held in Indianapolis since [[IWE Clash of Champions (2016)\|Clash of Champions]] in September 2016, which was at the same arena when it was known as Bankers Life Fieldhouse (renamed in 2021).
-
-	The name of the event originally referred to its position on the "Road to [[IWE WrestleMania\|WrestleMania]]", however, this was dropped for 2023 due to the event taking place six months after [[IWE WrestleMania 39\|WrestleMania 39]]. This will also be IWE's first major pay-per-view and livestreaming for the main roster in which the company is not owned and controlled by the [[Matteson family]], following [[Endeavor (Company)\|Endeavor]]'s purchase of IWE, which was finalized on September 12, with WWE subsequently merging with [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]]; the two companies still operate separately, but as divisions of a new entity called [[TKO Group Holdings]].

-	[[IWE Fastlane\|Fastlane]] is a [[professional wrestling]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards\|event]] first produced by [[IWE]] in 2015. It was held annually until 2019 when it was discontinued a first time but was [[IWE Fastlane (2021)\|reinstated in 2021]], but was again discontinued. On June 20, 2023, however, IWE announced the revival of the event, with the seventh Fastlane to take place on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at the [[Gainbridge Fieldhouse]] in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]], and will feature wrestlers from the [[Raw (IWE brand)\|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)\|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension\|brand divisions]]. This marks the first Fastlane held in October and on a Saturday. This will also be IWE's first [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) and [[livestreaming]] event held in Indianapolis since [[IWE Clash of Champions (2016)\|Clash of Champions]] in September 2016, which was at the same arena when it was formerly known as Bankers Life Fieldhouse (renamed in 2021). In addition to airing on traditional PPV, the event will be livestreamed on [[Peacock (streaming service)\|Peacock]] in the United States and the [[IWE Network]] in most international markets, in turn marking the first Fastlane for which U.S. subscribers can only livestream the event via Peacock, due to the American version of the IWE Network ceasing operations two weeks after the 2021 event. Tickets went on sale on July 14 via [[Ticketmaster]].
-
-	The name of the event was originally a reference to its position on the "Road to [[IWE WrestleMania\|WrestleMania]]", as Fastlane was held in the two-month period between the [[IWE Royal Rumble\|Royal Rumble]] and IWE's flagship event. With Fastlane's revival for 2023, however, this theme was dropped due to the event taking place six months after [[IWE WrestleMania 39\|WrestleMania 39]].
-
-	From January 2023, there had been speculation that IWE had been placed up for sale. Hours before WrestleMania 39 Night 2 began, [[CNBC]] reported via multiple sources that a deal between IWE and [[Endeavor (company)\|Endeavor]], the parent company of [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]] (UFC) via [[Zuffa]], was imminent. The deal involved [[Acquisition of IWE by Endeavor\|a merger]] of IWE with the UFC into a new publicly traded company, with Endeavor holding a 51% stake. The sale was confirmed the next day on April 3, 2023, with the sale finalized on September 12, with IWE merging with the UFC to form [[TKO Group Holdings]]. The 2023 Fastlane will in turn be IWE's first major pay-per-view and livestreaming event held in which the company was not owned and controlled by the [[Matteson family]]. IWE and UFC still operate separately, but as divisions of TKO.
-
-	~~===Storylines===~~
-	The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray [[Face (professional wrestling)\|heroes]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)\|villains]], or [[Tweener (professional wrestling)\|less distinguishable characters]] in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw\|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown\|Friday Night SmackDown]]''.
