Neville/Zayn was better, mostly because the story behind it was so fucking good and the ending was more satisfying.

Although a subtle story telling element is to remove Almas' equalizer and still have him pull off the victory to show his individual character growth.

Well yeah if you break it down that generically

Zayn won the title and was celebrating with Owens when Owens turned

Ciampa had already turned on Gargano and he returned to kick the guy when he was already down

Different details, different impact

Lesser impact, actually, hence another reason why I favor Zayn/Neville over Gargano/Almas.

The match ending is less satisfactory.
The post-match ending is less interesting.

I definitely disagree on the post-match being less interesting

The title isn't the basis of it so it's more personal, and it'll be interesting to see what Gargano does from a "rock bottom" kind of standing. Also Candice.

A complete unexpected heel turn from a guy who was just celebrated with you in the ring seconds earlier.

Vs.

Guy who hates you and is injured still hates you and is still injured.

Like argue Gargano/Almas is better all you want, that's fine but the post-match stuff doesn't even compare.

I think you're confusing "surprising" with "interesting"

Owens attacking was surprising but it wasn't really all that interesting because it was immediately "He wants the title."

Like the long term storytelling to Almas/Gargano in all their matches to this point was the specter of Ciampa. Using the music, using the shirt. If they had gone the final step and actually used Ciampa himself to cost Gargano the match, it would have continued the story in a better way. To really drive home the point that Gargano will not experience any joy so long as Ciampa is around, haunting him both psychologically and sometimes physically. To be inches away from a dream and Ciampa takes it away in some form.

Uh, did you forget how Owens complained about how Sami was called up first after talking about how they'd do everything together? Owens was practical, but he was also jealous and bitter towards Sami. It most definitely wasn't about just the title.

I mean Sami started challenging him and Owens refused unless the title was on the line

Oh this topic okay

had no real interest in this take over as I havent followed anything since the last

but wow what a fucking card

I love Velveteen Dream. I think he can be the next Rock, unironically.

The tag match was great, Black and Cole was great. Womens match had a great story

but dear god that main event. I never liked Almas, was indifferent to Gargano, But man he plays such a great face in peril and his thousand yard look is so good. What an amazing match. Like maybe the best match I have seen since.... man I dont know. Dolph and Harper ladder match? Has to be 5 stars,, Story was great, action was great, technically was great. spots were great. Ending was definitive. I thought it should have gone the other way for the winner but the post match explained why it didnt. And Candice and Zelina did their parts well

Yeah five stars
