The biggest winners and losers of last night's Raw (October 22)

This was unexpected.
This was unexpected.

Winner: Humberto Carillo

Some people backstage are supposedly high on Humberto Carillo, and going from a 205 Live mainstay to wrestling the Universal Champion is a huge step up no matter, which way you slice it. Seth Rollins won the match, because of course he did, and it wasn't a particularly good one, but this signals the start of much bigger and better things for Carillo.

Aside from that, it was alarming that the crowd booed Seth Rollins, the supposed babyface champion. That spells trouble ahead. That match with Bray Wyatt earlier this month did no one any favors.


Winners: The Street Profits

The Street Profits finally took to the ring on RAW instead of doing the awful backstage humor we've been accustomed to seeing from them since their arrival on the main roster. They looked great in their match, tagging alongside new RAW star Kevin Owens. This match did everything that it needed to do for them, establishing them as a mainstay of the RAW tag team division which could definitely use the help.

Of course, it came at the expense of The O.C., which now feels so irrelevant and worthless that I'm counting down the days until they're broken up. The alliance hasn't pulled Gallows and Anderson up and moreover, it's pushed AJ Styles down.
