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

Shinsuke Nakamura WWE title. — Nutcracker Nakamura was back in action!

Loser: Sheamus

This was a random match stemming from a random backstage segment (this pancake crap from the New Day is getting old) and it showed that The Bar aren't exactly top-tier contenders in the tremendously strong SmackDown tag team division, for now, anyway.

Was the loss devastating? No. It did feel unnecessary, though, or could have been built up better. The biggest danger in WWE is getting on the 50/50 wheel, and that's what this felt like the start of for The Bar.
