To talk of diminished returns would sound like the set-up to a sh*t "Chad Gable Is Short" joke, but Gable and King Corbin have wrestled so much since their quality King Of The Ring final that the only way was going to be down for the two.

The aforementioned result was the most frustrating element. The bore they assembled at Hell In A Cell was some way below the standard they'd set, but Gable's victory at least appeared to put a bow on their business until Big Banter Baron battered him backstage.

Victory here was the final tell that "Shorty Gable" isn't going to overthrow the King anytime soon, and a worrying reminder of 'The Lone Wolf's trolling past. Easy to mask under other high profile failures currently ongoing within the organisation, this was another waste of an awful lot of work.
