The biggest winners and losers of last night's SmackDown (April 16)

Loser: The SmackDown tag team division

With Big E's injury and the loss of The Usos, everyone was wondering what would happen to the blue brand's doubles division. Unfortunately, it didn't acquire a notable new team. The Revival would have been ideal, but they're still stuck on Raw.

Elsewhere, Gallows and Anderson remain invisible, while SAnitY is broken up and Alexander Wolfe has requested his release.

It is going to be curious to see where SmackDown goes from here as far as tag team wrestling goes.

Winner: Roman Reigns

Vince McMahon pulled a good bait and switch with Elias, ensuring that Roman Reigns would get over for attacking the troubadour and the chairman. Introducing Reigns as "the biggest acquisition" might otherwise have been met with more hostility.

Nevertheless, this is the right move for Reigns and SmackDown, particularly with the loss of AJ Styles. Now Reigns has room to carve his own path separate from the security blanket of the Shield, and can at long last leave the ghosts of the horrible four-year cycle with Brock Lesnar behind him.

A win for all parties.
