WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from February 1

When fans look back at the February 1 episode of Monday Night Raw, they will see a show devoid of any real creativity on the part of World Wrestling Entertainment, but they will also remember what may well be a watershed moment for The Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose. 

The intercontinental champion kicked off the show by interrupting Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, not rattled by the potential danger that awaited him as he stood face to face with The Beast Incarnate.

Later in the broadcast, he leveled Big E with Dirty Deeds, delivering a win for him and Roman Reigns.

But it was the F-5 he endured at the hands of Lesnar that put an exclamation point on Ambrose's argument for Biggest Winner status from Monday's broadcast.

By taking that finisher, there are now more eyes on Ambrose and any further interactions that may exist between him and the former world champion.

For a guy who was, just a month ago, the star of WWE's midcard, one step below the main event scene, he catapulted to the top of the card by way of his performance at Royal Rumble and, now, his involvement in the top story on WWE television.

Two former world champions joined Ambrose on the Raw winners list, while a supposedly fearsome faction and a former breakout star from NXT were the most obvious losers.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler 

One week after dropping a match to Kevin Owens and appearing on his way back down the card, Dolph Ziggler responded with another superb performance against the former Ring of Honor and NXT champion, scoring an improbable (and clean) win following the Zig Zag.

With the Fastlane pay-per-view coming up, and neither of the stars apparently having anything else better to do, it appears Ziggler and Owens could find themselves standing across from each other on the squared circle one more time.

After spending months working Tyler Breeze in a feud that went nowhere and enduring a loss to Heath Slater as recently as a few weeks ago, a feud with someone perceived to be a high midcard star is certainly a step up for the former world champion.

Only time will tell whether or not WWE builds Ziggler going forward, but history tells us the company is simply heating him up to cool him off again. Still, for one night, he scored a quality victory over a big-name opponent, and that is enough to earn him status as one of the biggest winners from the February 1 broadcast.

Losers: The Wyatt Family 

Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman were without leader Bray Wyatt Monday night as Rowan took to the squared circle to battle The Big Show.

Just eight days removed from a strong showing in the Royal Rumble in which the faction was responsible for the elimination of Lesnar, The Big Show fended off the trio and put the white sheep of the family down with a chokeslam to win the match in just over one minute.

Yes, it took the aging former champion, a shell of his former self, 60 seconds to beat a young heavyweight associated with the ever-dangerous Wyatt Family. And worse yet, he did so while cutting off Strowman and Harper, essentially beating all three by himself.

Sure, the Wyatts regained some heat by beating down Big Show, but it was mostly Strowman who looked dominant in the post-match festivities. 

Why even bother presenting The Wyatt Family as a threat on the level of Lesnar one week, only to job them out to a guy who has not been taken seriously by fans in well over a year?

Harper, Rowan and Strowman are, at this point, glorified enhancement talent without Wyatt by their sides. How that helps build intrigue for a showdown with Lesnar at WrestleMania is a mystery.

Winner: The Miz 

The former Real World star and WWE champion does not get nearly enough credit for being the performer he is. Last week on Raw, he wrestled a solid match with Kalisto, at times looking like the better worker of the two, then arrived at this week's show for an edition of Miz TV. His guest? AJ Styles.

Miz was brilliant on the microphone, cutting a scathing promo that mocked Styles' indy background and compared him to Daniel Bryan, whom he credits himself with carrying early in his WWE career.

The mic work from the silver-tongued Hollywood A-lister was phenomenal and pun-intended, and it reminded fans of what Miz is capable of when motivated. The announcement that he will battle Styles on SmackDown will provide the underrated performer with the opportunity to prove himself between the ropes against a worker with legitimate claim to the title of "best wrestler in the world."

How he performs in that match could determine whether or not he sees increased television time and, perhaps, a renewed push.

Loser: Tyler Breeze 

Prince Pretty's push is dead in the water, as evidenced by the squash loss he endured at the hands of Titus O'Neil on Monday night.

The former breakout star of NXT has seen his dreams of main roster success descend into a nightmarish hell following the conclusion of his one-sided rivalry with Ziggler. Opponents have beaten him down, diminished his star power and erased his credibility. He even had his valet stripped away from him at the start of the new year as Summer Rae left him in the dust.

What should have been the best run of his life—an opportunity to prove himself to an all-new audience—has become a disappointment he never could have imagined. Breeze deserves better but, unfortunately, does not appear to be in line for it.
