The biggest winners and losers of last night's SmackDown (October 4)

A surprise to be sure, but was it the right one?

Winner: Bray Wyatt

Once again, Bray Wyatt stole the show. After an entertaining Firefly Funhouse segment, The Fiend appeared and got the better of Seth Rollins once again, to the delight of the crowd.

Bray Wyatt needs to win the Universal Championship tomorrow night. That's out of the question.

It is interesting though, that both Wyatt and Rollins were advertised on the intro to SmackDown, suggesting they could both be blue brand stars soon enough. Perhaps it was a one night thing, perhaps not. We'll have to see.

But this is a crossroads for Wyatt. If he doesn't win, all of his heat will vanish.


Winner: Kevin Owens and SmackDown

Finally, FINALLY, Shane McMahon is gone. Kevin Owens defeated and "fired" him last night in a fun ladder match.

No one expects this "firing" to be permanent, but it gives the blue brand a much-needed reprieve from an overbearing Shane McMahon who has been a drag on the show for almost a year.

And it gives Kevin Owens the chance to move on and face better opponents. It's two months too late, but better late than never in this case.
