The biggest winners and losers of last night's SmackDown (February 5)

Winner: Mustafa Ali

As per the norm with him, Mustafa Ali put on a match of the month contender with Randy Orton last night. This is the proof that new fans need about why they're giving Ali a nice push. He can always be relied on to deliver a gutsy performance. He proved it as "the heart of 205 Live" and he's quickly proving it as "the heart of SmackDown Live."

Ali would try to set up Orton for the 054, but the wily veteran reversed it with a memorable RKO. Ali's performance saw him come close but fail to get to the goal. That's fine for now. He got a lot more out of this match in defeat than many people get in victory.

Afterwards, Samoa Joe came in and ambushed Randy Orton, selling the Elimination Chamber match in a way that only he can. This should be good.
