John Wick Chapter 3's Biggest Unanswered Questions

Now here's the biggest question of all. After agreeing to let Winston keep control over his hotel, the Adjudicator still declares that John Wick is a big problem: he's still excommunicado for breaking the Continental's rules in the previous movie, and he hasn't fulfilled his mission to kill Winston per his deal with the Elder. In response, Winston grabs a gun and shoots John repeatedly — pointedly aiming for his bulletproof suit, rather than his head — and Wick falls off the roof of the hotel, bouncing off of a couple fire escapes before he thuds onto the ground like Wile E. Coyote. And just like Wile E. Coyote, Wick is still breathing after his monumental fall. By the end of the film, he and the Bowery King have vowed to take revenge on the High Table in John Wick 4: Wacky Wicky.
When Winston learns that Wick is possibly still alive, he doesn't seem all that surprised. And yet, by any reasonable measure of logic and physics, even in a world as cartoonishly violent as the one John Wick inhabits, Wick for sure should have been a smear on the pavement. Does Winston know something we don't about John Wick's skeleton and organs? Is he secretly a cyborg?
Or is this really all just taking place in the Matrix, and now Neo and Morpheus are going to team up to take it to the machines one last time? Fingers crossed.
