WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from September 21
The so-called Divas Revolution has done wonders for women's wrestling and the way it has been perceived by the American audience over the last three months, but it has been a disaster for Paige.
She went from top contender for the Divas Championship to shoved into the background, forced to watch as others enjoyed the spotlight and championship opportunities.
On Monday's Raw, weeks of frustration following losses to Sasha Banks boiled over, and the Anti-Diva lashed out, cutting a promo reminiscent of CM Punk's "pipe bomb" rant from 2011.

Fresh Backstage WWE Rumors 👊

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
She ruined Charlotte's celebration, suggested that The Bella Twins are only in the position they are in because of their relationships away from the ring, then told the new Divas champion that she is not just a placeholder but that her spot in the company is a direct result of who her father is.
It was a shocking development, but one that was greeted with a tremendous response by the WWE Universe, their sentiments echoed by the Brit.
Paige has not had her own voice since before the start of the Divas Revolution. Now that she's allowed to speak her mind and show some of the personality that has been bottled up for so long, she will only benefit from the latest evolution of her character.
The emotion-filled promo she cut Monday night helped to establish her as the night's biggest winner, but not the only one.
Who else enjoyed an eventful and productive Monday night?
Which Superstars and Divas were not so lucky?
Find out now with these winners and losers from Raw.
Winner: Natalya
Joining Paige as a winner from the Divas side of things is Natalya, who returned to WWE programming Monday night and almost instantly found herself injected into the Divas Revolution angle, courtesy of a backstage confrontation with Paige and a match with Team B.A.D's Naomi.
She may have been defeated by her fellow Total Divas castmate, but after months spent sitting on the sidelines while Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks arrived, stealing the spotlight and leaving her with nothing to do, she finds herself back in the thick of things.
The confrontation with Paige was interesting in that it may very well have sparked an alliance between the two Divas. If that's not the case, it laid the groundwork for a rivalry that should spawn some tremendous wrestling matches.
Whatever direction WWE opts to take with Natalya, the fact that the third-generation Diva has returned to relevance makes her one of the undisputed winners from this week's broadcast.
Losers: The Cosmic Wasteland
During Sunday's Night of Champions Kickoff Show, WWE Creative went through the trouble of booking Stardust and The Ascension to defeat Neville and The Lucha Dragons in an attempt to add credibility and legitimacy to the trio.
But thanks to WWE's 50-50 booking style, they dropped the rematch on Monday night, and all the work to put them over was undone in the span of three seconds.
It killed the heat the trio had built just one night earlier. That Viktor of The Ascension took the pinfall was even worse, because if any of the six men involved needed momentum, it was the former NXT tag team champions.
Where does the latest defeat leave The Cosmic Wasteland?
Sure, it's a midcard heel group at best, but the company had the opportunity to build it into a very real threat that was over with fans. Instead, it remains fairly undefined, fodder for midcard babyfaces.
Winner: The Big Show
The World's Largest Athlete continues to luck his way into relevance, this time courtesy of a match with Brock Lesnar on the upcoming live special from the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
On Monday night, he not only picked up a second consecutive victory over Cesaro but cut a very impressive promo on his impending date with The Beast Incarnate.
Big Show accurately noted that in 2002, he did the unthinkable by becoming the first Superstar to defeat Lesnar in a WWE ring. The setting of that match? MSG.
No Superstar had the level of success against Lesnar that the giant did, and on October 3, he vowed, he would not be taking a trip to Suplex City.
There is much to be made of Big Show as an in-ring performer at this point in his career, but when motivated, he still brings the goods on the microphone and can suitably build heat for a match through the emotions he expresses during promo work.
Loser: Sheamus
Just one night after The Celtic Warrior nearly cashed in Money in the Bank and became the new WWE world heavyweight champion, Sheamus did not interact with Seth Rollins or The Authority. He was not involved in any main event angles. There was no hype for another potential cash-in.
Instead, Sheamus was relegated to a squash win over Mark Henry and the same tired, boring promo about being the next champion that he has cut since July.
It showed a complete lack of continuity on the part of WWE Creative and returned the Irish-born competitor to status quo in the midcard.
