The biggest winners and losers from last night's SmackDown (July 17th)

Winner: Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe looked like a beast last night on his way to what will certainly be a WWE Championship match at SummerSlam. It already has a big fight feel, and the promos should be fantastic.

There's no doubt that the WWE Championship picture feels stale, so I'm hoping that Joe wins to shake things up. There are a lot of babyface challengers on SmackDown, and probably one more on the way from NXT soon (read: Aleister Black), that would be served well under a Joe reign.
