Result: Gargano injures his knee and is unable to make the count, handing Ciampa the victory (33:42).

Rating: There will surely be many debates among fans about how all of Ciampa and Gargano's matches stack up, but on its own merits, this was another slam dunk of a main event.

The rest hold nonsense went a little too long in the early going, but otherwise this was absolutely perfectly laid out, with both men's intense physicality elevating the already incredible storytelling.

The idea that Gargano's desperate desire to destroy his former friend is what caused his loss was a clever and surprising way to give Ciampa another win. If nothing else, it'll be interesting to see what stipulation they're thrown into next time. 9/10
