At WWF Judgment Day on May 21, 2000, Eddie Guerrero defended the WWF European Championship in a Triple Threat (Triangle) match against Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn that showcased all three wrestlers’ technical versatility and competitive chemistry. The bout featured back-and-forth action as Malenko and Saturn briefly teamed up to isolate Guerrero, but that alliance quickly dissolved into a three-way scramble of counters, suplexes, high-impact moves, and near-falls, with each man getting significant offense and control at various points. Guerrero hit hurricanranas and a tornado DDT, Malenko displayed his crisp grappling and power moves, and Saturn contributed strikes and a high splash attempt, keeping the momentum unpredictable throughout. The decisive moment came when Chyna interfered by tripping Malenko with a bouquet of loaded roses, causing him to crash into the flowers and allowing Guerrero to roll him up with a La Magistral cradle for the pinfall. With that, Guerrero retained the European Championship in a fast-paced, spot-filled match that advanced their subtle intra-group storyline and emphasized Guerrero’s opportunistic, cheat-to-win tactics.
