The biggest winners and losers from last night's Raw (April 30th)

Loser: Finn Balor

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins not only had what was certainly the best match on Raw all year (and possibly the best main roster match all year, for that matter), they managed to save a show that was circling the drain. Going through it all was worth it to see this spectacle!

Filled with dramatic reversals and near-falls, what I particularly liked about it was that finishers weren't used until the very end. Instead, both men avoided each others' finishers for as long as possible as they went to their arsenal of other moves.

Unfortunately, Finn Balor lost clean in the middle of the ring. We saw some hints of a possible heel turn after he attacked Seth Rollins while his back was turned earlier in the evening. If Finn Balor follows that up somehow after Backlash, this rivalry could move to the next level. If he doesn't, however, there's no reason for it to continue. He was beaten clean as a whistle, so the momentum is totally gone if he stays as a babyface, which is far likelier.
