The biggest winners and losers from last night's SmackDown (August 21)

Modified Aug 22, 2018 13:31 GMT

Becky Lynch heel turn — Disaster in the making, but not in the way they expect.

Winner: Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe proved once again that he should be WWE Champion last night. It took him less than a minute. This was brutally effective, and Joe's work since his shift to the blue brand, even if he hasn't always been featured, is characteristically top notch.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

A collision course inside Hell in a Cell looks inevitable, and that should be an excellent match, if not a potential match of the year if it is built right. Despite a lackluster start, SummerSlam gave this feud a ton of fuel, so hopefully, everything works out OK.

A Joe WWE Championship reign would open a lot of new possibilities on SmackDown. It would certainly be the right decision.
