The 2020 Draft continued and concluded on WWE RAW last night. Among the notable moves were Braun Strowman (thereby setting up his confrontation with Keith Lee), Bray Wyatt, and Alexa Bliss to WWE RAW, while the Street Profits, Kevin Owens, and Aleister Black moved to SmackDown.
As for the night itself, with Hell in a Cell coming soon, who got the most and least out of the show? Let's take a look.
Losers from WWE RAW: The Miz and John Morrison
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
We learned last week that The Miz and John Morrison would head to RAW. They arrived with Miz TV to usher in their tenure last night, interviewing Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke. However, the highlight of the segment came when Lars Sullivan came out, sent Miz packing, and demolished John Morrison.
All of this came only for us to learn that Lars Sullivan would be heading to SmackDown anyway. So what was the point of such a humiliation? The Miz and John Morrison are types that can come back from something like this, but it didn't send a good message about their position in the RAW pecking order at the moment.
Winner from WWE RAW: Elias
Seth Rollins' farewell segment on WWE RAW turned into a triple threat match between him, Jeff Hardy, and AJ Styles. The match went on for some time before Elias returned and smashed his guitar into Jeff Hardy, allowing AJ Styles to capitalize and steal the win.
Elias back on RAW could make for some interesting television, although he won't be able to have the concerts he used to do until fans finally return to the arena. We'll have to see if this momentum continues and WWE decides to run with him for a while. A feud with Jeff Hardy isn't a bad start for him.
Losers from WWE RAW: Andrade and Zelina Vega
After losing in a fast match with Angel Garza, The Fiend and Alexa Bliss made their re-entry to WWE RAW and took out Andrade and Zelina Vega. This could evolve into a story that will feature Andrade and Zelina in a spotlight, but there's little doubt that they will only serve as stepping stones to establish The Fiend and Alexa Bliss pairing on WWE RAW.
No matter what happens, it seems, Andrade can't break through the ceiling he's had looming over him since he came to the main roster in April 2018. Even Zelina Vega has gotten title shots. His woes are likely to continue.
Loser from WWE RAW: Ricochet
Even though Ricochet won the night (by disqualification), the stipulation leaves him with little room to grow. He would have joined the Hurt Business if he lost, but his dubious win simply ended the rivalry. Though that was needed, it meant Ricochet left the rivalry with no real boost in his standing and would likely get lost in the shuffle again.
The WWE brass have shown no real intention to push him up to this point.
Winner from WWE RAW: Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle got drafted to WWE RAW last night. It's a nice change of scenery for him, where he could have more potential than palling around with the Lucha House Party. A feud with the United States Champion, Bobby Lashley, and his friends in the Hurt Business could be just what the doctor ordered for everyone involved.
If not that, there are other opportunities on WWE RAW. Perhaps he'll be part of the Red brand's team at Survivor Series soon enough. We'll just have to see if WWE wants to capitalize on any of these openings or just relegates him to his previous role.
Loser from WWE RAW: Lana
While Lana's victory on WWE RAW was certainly unexpected and there was a good potential story with her fallout with Natalya that rippled throughout the evening, does anybody really think that she stands a snowball's chance in hell against Asuka?
WWE has made it crystal clear for months now on RAW that Lana is in the company's doghouse and expect the same thing to happen at Hell in a Cell. If it doesn't, that would only make Asuka look that much worse.
