The biggest winners and losers on last night's SmackDown (May 1)

Winners: AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Samoa Joe

Shinsuke Nakamura demanded a public apology, which got AJ Styles riled up when he went out to the ring. AJ Styles wasn't met by Shinsuke Nakamura as expected, however, but rather by Samoa Joe, who made clear that he was coming for the WWE Championship once he was finished "putting Roman Reigns to sleep."

Nakamura's music hit then, and Samoa Joe was ready for a fight, but he instead ambushed AJ Styles in the ring and went for the jewels again. Nakamura's expressions as a crazed heel are excellent and have done more for him than his entire year as a babyface.

Sunday's no disqualification match puts this feud somewhat in a bind. It's clear there's still a lot more left to be told in this story, but if AJ Styles wins (which he likely will, as the history of challengers standing tall in go-home segments isn't a good omen), the feud will likely be out of gas. We'll just have to figure out where it goes from there, but I love the prospect of AJ Styles dealing with both Nakamura and Joe at the same time!
