The biggest winners and losers of last night's Raw (April 22)

WrestleMania and the Superstar Shakeup are now over. After a year in the doldrums for Raw, last night was the first real test to see how the new red brand roster would do in turning the show's fortunes around. How well did they work? Who got the most and least out of the show last night?

Let's take a look.

Winner: Samoa Joe

At the start of the show (which came with another unnecessary opening promo, of course), Triple H went back to an old trope - there would be two triple threat matches and the winners of those matches would square off to determine Seth Rollins' challenger at Money in the Bank.

This was a fine match, with all three guys showing what they're going to do in the next year. The result shouldn't be too surprising, though. AJ Styles went over here by pinning Rey Mysterio, thus advancing to the number one contender's match to come later.

While Samoa Joe wasn't the winner of the match, he did make a strong impression, and was protected in defeat by not being the guy to get pinned. He should be one of the best aspects of Raw going forward.

Losers: The IIconics

After another cringeworthy promo, we were treated to yet another band IIconics match with one of the champions losing like a joke. Whether Naomi will find a partner or not remains to be seen, but this segment was yet another pitiful showing from the "champions."

Those women's tag team titles need to go onto Asuka and Kairi Sane quickly. It's debatable whether the company should even wait until Money in the Bank to do so. If the gold spends any more time in their hands, it is going to be disrespected as a joke. It arguably already is.
