The biggest winners and losers of last night's SmackDown (May 7)

Ad hoc.
Ad hoc.

Winner: Buddy Murphy

Though it didn't happen on TV, Murphy finally made an appearance for the blue brand, calling out Ali. If that foreshadows a feud to come, we should rejoice. Everyone should remember how good these two were together on 205 Live.

Hopefully Murphy can make it to television next week. He's too good to not be on there.


Winner: Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston successfully defended his WWE Championship once again, beating Sami Zayn and AJ Styles in a triple threat match when he hit the Trouble in Paradise on the former.

This kept Styles protected en route to his championship match at Money in the Bank and also may have given Kingston more momentum leading into his rivalry with Kevin Owens by pinning his best friend - even though him and Zayn should stay away from each other for a while. Let's hope that the "wild card" rule doesn't stick them together like glue again.
