The Intercontinental Championship fight between Sami Zayn and Chad Gable showcased impressive action but ended disappointingly. Gable’s defeat for the third time sparks uncertainties about the storyline, especially as he continues to target the Alpha Academy without a title. The consequences of the bout also affected Maxxine, missing a potential twist with Otis and Gable. The absence of a title victory for Gable diminishes his character’s progress, signaling a need for a fresh contender for Zayn. Though not the worst segment of the event, the match result raises worries about the future directions of the individuals involved.
