The biggest winners and losers on last night's SmackDown (May 15)

Winners: AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura

This was their best WWE match so far. It was annoying from a longer-term booking standpoint, as it burns the audience out on the number of matches they've had, and picking the stipulation for a future match wasn't a good reason to have one last night. Furthermore, Nakamura's victory now makes it almost certain that Styles will win in June. WWE's booking patterns are predictable in that way.

Still, it was a great match, and thankfully, didn't see the use of low blows, though there was one clever spot where Shinsuke Nakamura faked having suffered one to set up a decisive move sequence. It was good callback humor while showing that the feud will take on a new direction. Hopefully. That new direction was much-needed.
