WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from October 10
For the second consecutive week, women's wrestling took center stage on Raw courtesy of Sasha Banks and Charlotte's ongoing rivalry. Those two women had another banner Monday, once again earning "biggest winner" status.
It was revealed that The Boss and her Genetically Superior rival will be the first two women to ever compete inside Hell in a Cell, an announcement that altered the course of women's wrestling forever. For the first time in the long history of the gimmick bout, management had enough faith in two particular competitors and their rivalry to book them in one of the most significant bouts it has to offer.

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
From there, Banks and Charlotte stood up in the face of Rusev's chauvinistic rants, refusing to allow The Bulgarian Brute to speak down to them or discredit the Women's Revolution.
Finally, Charlotte teamed up with the ferocious heavyweight to battle Banks and her partner, United States champion Roman Reigns. The match, an energetic and fun sprint of a match, saw Banks score the win for her team with her trademark Bank Statement submission.
The increased role of women on Raw is becoming apparent. Banks and Charlotte and, to a lesser extent, Bayley and Dana Brooke are becoming key to the creative direction WWE is taking with its flagship program. The Hell in a Cell announcement is a huge indicator that the company finally values its female performers. Now, it is up to champion and challenger to reward management with one of the greatest women's wrestling matches in WWE history.
Winner: Chris Jericho
What began as another disappointing run last January has evolved into some of the finest work Chris Jericho has done since his acclaimed 2008 stretch. Whether he is vowing that his opponents are going to get...it or threatening to put them on The List of Jericho, he has developed into one of the most entertaining characters on Monday nights.
Lately, though, there has been more depth added to the relationship between him and WWE universal champion Kevin Owens.
See, both men are dastardly villains. Thus, they are more likely to turn on each other at the drop of a hat.
Jericho wasted little time after Owen's championship win, dropping hints that he had eyes on the gold and even going so far as to claim "we are going to make a great champion," as if he would receive some of the rub by proxy. In recent weeks, fans have watched as Owens has left Jericho to endure punishment at the hands of New Day and Seth Rollins.
In both cases, he could have rescued his so-called "best friend" but did not.
Monday night, Jericho had the opportunity to earn a spot in Hell in a Cell's title bout but fell short, losing to Rollins in a strong main event. Expect that loss, coupled with the fact that Owens again left him high and dry, to reintroduce a little of the dangerous edge to Y2J in what has been one of his most spirited runs to date.
Losers: Sami Zayn and Neville
Welcome to the tag team division, boys, where WWE Creative saddles any two singles stars it cannot possibly be bothered to come up with anything else for.
Just ask Sheamus and Cesaro.
Neville and Sami Zayn are among the finest workers in the industry, but on Monday night, their place among the other Raw Superstars was confirmed when they were lazily thrown together and given a win over Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel in what felt very much like a throwaway match.
Neither man has thrived on the red brand as he should have in the wake of the brand extension, and both men appear to be lost in the shuffle even more now. The tag division already touts The New Day, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and Enzo Amore and Big Cass. The last thing it needed was another team of any significance, especially with the aforementioned Sheamus and Cesaro poised to challenge for the tag titles at Hell in a Cell.
Two of NXT brightest stars at one time, they just cannot seem to settle into any one role or position on the main roster.
Winner: Paul Heyman
The guru of gab returned to Raw on Monday to respond to Goldberg's ESPN interview in which the WCW phenomenon revealed he would like to fight Brock Lesnar one last time. As he has done countless times throughout his career, Heyman stood in the center of the ring, introduced himself as the advocate for The Beast Incarnate and then proceeded to sell the match to the masses without either of the combatants in the building.
The mastermind behind ECW discussed the dominance of both men, how their careers ran parallel to each other and, more importantly, how Goldberg had one up on Lesnar dating back to a 2004 WrestleMania XX match between the two.
Warning Goldberg that reality and fantasy video games are two separate, different things, Heyman issued a challenge to Da Man for one more fight between monsters at a time and place to be determined.
It was a smartly concocted promo that laid out the history between the competitors, referenced their previous meeting and explained why Lesnar would be eager to set foot in the squared circle with the man who beat him 12 years ago.
Heyman is a master of that. He can dumb things down to a level that everyone in the audience understands while speaking with such intensity and emotion that the promo feels more convoluted and complex than it actually is. Thus, the hardcore fans looking for that guttural experience can enjoy it, while the casual audience knows what is happening, why it is happening and why they should spend their time watching to see what goes down next.
It is the art of the promo, and Heyman is a virtuoso.
