The biggest winners and losers of last night's Raw (February 4)

Loser: Elias

Sure, Elias wasn't sacrificed on the altar of part-timers, but it's exactly matches like this that prevent the full-time talent from emerging as larger than life stars. Elias commands crowds like few others do in the company, and he was starting to find his groove as a babyface during the Holidays.

WWE decided to throw all of that away by turning him heel again for the sake of feuding with two men in their 50's. It's insane and this is one of the big reasons why the Women's division feels more star-studded than the men's these days. The women haven't been sacrificed to has-beens for the past decade.

Can you imagine if Becky Lynch found herself involved in angles like this with the likes of Alundra Blayze? It's precisely the fact that she hadn't been on her long road that permitted her to rise to where she is.

This was worse than pointless. It was another marker of how badly WWE's booking is broken.
