The biggest winners and losers of last night's SmackDown (November 20)

Winner: Randy Orton

Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio had a great match to close the show (I won't soon forget that sliding splash attempt from Mysterio that Orton turned into an RKO). However, the real development came afterwards, where Randy Orton slammed Rey Mysterio, who was restrained in a chair, into the turnbuckle.

He then held aloft Rey Mysterio's mask - the ultimate insult to any luchador, much less the greatest one of all time.

Randy Orton's sadistic heel persona has been excellent. It lost some of the shine it had after the feud with Jeff Hardy ended, but Mysterio is a great foil to bring it back. This is going to be a fun feud, that's for sure.

I only wondered to myself as I was watching it last night "why isn't the United States Championship involved here - where is Shinsuke Nakamura?"

SmackDown will need to bring its mid-card title back to television if it's to make the most of heel Orton.
