The biggest winners and losers of last night's SmackDown (October 9)

Loser: Randy Orton

The Big Show main eventing in 2018.

Sure, Randy Orton won, but this was by far the least interesting he's been and the worst he's looked since making his heel turn in the summer. He qualifies for the World Cup tournament, but he seems out of place there, and the tournament doesn't have interesting people for him to feud with and sustain this momentum.

A win would arguably put him in title contention, but is that the likeliest outcome? Somehow, I think not.
