Civilian airliners are not rated for high G maneuvers, the 737 is +2.5 /-1 in clean configuration so your choice is to either overstress the airframe or run out of altitude or both if the initial loss of control was at even medium altitudes.
In the sim we do our upset recovery training starting at 20,000’ and I’ve frequently seen recovery as low as 4000’.
Vertical your choice is push or pull, negative or positive G. Anything less then vertical upright you pull, anything less then vertical but inverted would require rolling upright then pull.
I mean we’re talking aerobatic maneuvers here.
