The biggest winners and losers from last night's SmackDown (December 4)

Winner: Samoa Joe

Truthfully, I didn't know what to think about this one. Samoa Joe delivered in his segments as he always does. However, the subject matter just felt lame. Some people will think it an example of WWE once again taking things too far by exploiting Jeff Hardy's real-life substance abuse issues. It's far from the first time that the company has done such a thing.

It does, however, give Samoa Joe some airtime. His future had been in doubt after failing to capture the WWE Championship from AJ Styles on four separate occasions.

Jeff Hardy, unfortunately, fell to Dumb Babyface Syndrome in this segment, but I'm interested in seeing where this feud goes. Hardy vs. Joe is a fresh matchup, and the latter will make anything he's in an interesting experience.

Hopefully, Joe will get more sadistic from here and not veer too near to Jeff Hardy's real-life troublesome past.
