Winner: Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt looks like a million bucks heading into his big in-ring return this Sunday night. WWE again used a legend wisely by having Kurt Angle fall to the mandible claw, which was symbolic in more ways than one.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Finn Balor is going to don his Demon persona this Sunday, which makes the match significantly less exciting, but Bray Wyatt should use it as a springboard to higher aspirations anyway. He continues to be the best thing on WWE programming that's emerged after WrestleMania 35.


Winner: The Women's Tag Team Division

The execution of this match could have been better, and it's mildly insulting that Asuka and Kairi Sane didn't win the tag team titles after being the only ones "chasing" them so long, all just so backstage favorite Alexa Bliss could win.

Either way, this was a major step in the right direction. Those titles felt like they should have been decommissioned in the hands of the IIconics. Now, thankfully, they have been liberated from their hapless waists.

The division felt revived last night, with multiple teams actually competing for the titles. It was a sudden turnaround.
