- Fast start: Dragon Lee dives on Americano during the entrance; Styles blitzes Dom.
- Mid-match: Americano ties Lee’s mask tail to the bottom rope; Dom cheap-shots with a second mask; classic Judgement Day-style misdirection.

Wrestling.news | Take
Quebec got an episode that actually moved the chess pieces. Punk and Knight’s uneasy alliance feels combustible (bookmark that for Paris), while Jey Uso re-enters the world title picture with real momentum. Becky’s IC defense keeps her sharp as the women’s world scene wobbles—Naomi’s status plus IYO/Kabuki friction and Stephanie Vaquer looming is a powder keg. The Judgment Day’s “El Grande” trickery continues to pay off for Dom, and Bronson Reed’s Roman barbs aren’t just noise; WWE keeps framing him as a made man. The Fatal 4-Way announcement is the right call—no single-match grudge can contain this many intersecting agendas. Paris just became must-see.
