Yet, it didn't come without the typical Lynch shenanigans.

It was wild scenes to have Paige and Lee wrestle back-to-back on a WWE show in 2026. Nonetheless, each got off to a hot start. Lynch and Lee wasted no time going after each other.

The pair quickly spilled to the outside of the ring, where Lee took a Fallaway Slam against the barricade. Once back in the ring, the story within the match turned to Lynch trying to cheat by taking off a corner turnbuckle — until referee Jessica Carr stopped it.

She nailed a big missile drop kick before the first potential Black Widow submission.
