The biggest winners and losers of last night's Raw (July 1)

Winner: AJ Styles

After a fantastic match with Ricochet which he lost (I thought this would be on pay per view), AJ Styles reformed his team with Gallows and Anderson, formally. Raw now has a new dominant heel faction, which can only bring good things going forward.

Styles did his consensus best work in WWE as a heel from the summer of 2017 to WrestleMania 33. His second reign as WWE Champion was long and prosperous, but it felt a bit underwhelming.

"Turning heel" is too cliche in WWE, but with Raw lacking top heels other than Baron Corbin, who brings his own problems, turning Styles was the right choice both for him and the red brand. AJ Styles has already lost a title shot to Seth Rollins, but him getting another one for SummerSlam in this persona, and with Gallows and Anderson, wouldn't be resented by anyone.

And speaking of those two, perhaps this is a final hail mary in an attempt to get them to re-sign. Or perhaps they've already done so and are being rewarded. Either way, it's a big step up from what they were doing before.
