The biggest winners and losers of last night's Raw (February 25)

After a lackluster road to WrestleMania, Raw for the first time actually delivered an episode that felt like it would be worthy of such a build. With the announcement of Roman Reigns' return, we knew we were in for something notable, but what we got exceeded those expectations.

Who got the most and least out of last night's show?

Winner: Roman Reigns

It seemed incredulous to think that Roman Reigns would be announced for the show unless he had good news to share. His news was better than expected. To a raucous ovation, he announced that his cancer is not only in remission, but that he's been cleared to return to action.

Later in the night, the Shield reunited once again in favor of Dean Ambrose.

Where Roman Reigns goes from here is still anyone's guess. His return might also negatively effect Seth Rollins' prospects of winning the Universal Championship on April 7th, which would be another disaster.

But all of that is in the future. This was instantly one of the year's most memorable segments and if WWE plays their cards right, they will solidify the crowd finally getting behind Roman Reigns. There's a reason to care about him now that the company could never have manufactured themselves.

Losers: The Revival

For the second week in a row, the tag team champions lost to the new NXT debutantes. This certainly devalues the Raw tag team titles, although their credibility was in the gutter anyway. Even as champions, it's hard to ever take the Revival seriously.

Pairing Aleister Black and Ricochet together is more concerning, as these two should not be randomly stuck together. They should be mainstays in the upper mid card and main event. However, they are teaming in the forthcoming Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic episodes on NXT, so I'll give this a pass for now.
