WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from June 20
You can take The Boss away from television and shove her to the background of the women's division in favor of the one-dimensional Natalya, but you cannot take Sasha Banks out of the hearts of fans, who erupted for her return to television Monday night and her physical confrontation with WWE women's champion Charlotte and Dana Brooke, which earned her "biggest winner" status from the June 20 broadcast.
The breakout star of NXT had been conspicuous in her absence prior to this week but exploded right back on the scene, flattening Brooke with a hard right forearm then delivering a Bank Statement to Charlotte before standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Paige and holding the most coveted prize in women's wrestling high in the air, perhaps in a sign of things to come.

Fresh Backstage WWE Rumors 👊

Modern-Day Dream Matches 💭

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
After what felt like an eternity away from the spotlight, Banks strutted to the ring, cocky and confident, all the while reassured that the fans who supported her so vocally and passionately just one year ago had not forgotten her in post-WrestleMania WWE.
Someone as over as Banks can only be denied for so long, and with SummerSlam in Brooklyn, New York, rapidly approaching, it appears as though her moment in the spotlight is nearing.
Winner: Dean Ambrose
The first image fans got of their new WWE world heavyweight champion Monday night was him emerging from a taxi and nearly forgetting his new hardware in the backseat. He arrogantly strutted into the arena, justifiably so, and headed to the squared circle where he essentially welcomed fans to the era of Ambrose.
It was clear from the get-go this champion was not the stereotypical babyface or tired old heel. He was fresh, interesting and brought a swagger to his performance that fans were not use to seeing from their heavyweight champion.
Add to it a brash confidence with which he offered to defend his newly won championship against both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, and Ambrose was a revelation as the unpredictable and unorthodox leader of The New Era.
Loser: Baron Corbin
Anyone holding out hope that The Lone Wolf's victory over Dolph Ziggler would catapult him to bigger and better things Monday night were rightfully disappointed when he took to the squared circle for an extended squash against former intercontinental champion Zack Ryder.
Corbin won, of course, but not without audiences conceding he is very much on a booking treadmill at this point. Nothing he has done has advanced his character or elevated his star whatsoever. He won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania and has been stuck in the same position ever since. There have been no signs of upward momentum, nor has there been a noticeable descent.
Instead, he is just a guy wrestling matches whose stock will benefit exponentially from the July 19 Superstar Draft.
Winners: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
With one match and a heated pull-apart brawl, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens reignited their rivalry ahead of WWE Battleground.
Zayn finally scored that elusive win over Owens, who did not take kindly to the defeat at all. His post-match attack ignited a furious and intense fight that undoubtedly planted the seeds for one last showdown, perhaps as soon as the July 24 pay-per-view event from Washington, D.C.
The chemistry the friends-turned-enemies have between the ropes is second to none, their matches often the best of any given show. Yet as many as they have had under the WWE umbrella, it feels like there is one more left, perhaps a No Disqualification match that allows them to bring their rivalry to a head once and for all.
It remains to be seen exactly what road WWE Creative takes in regard to the two Superstars, but if Monday's broadcast is any indication, fans are ready to invest themselves in the latest chapter of the acclaimed feud.
Winner: Titus O'Neil
After years of zero character development, Titus O'Neil and WWE Creative may have finally tapped into a persona fans are willing to invest themselves in—that of the proud father fighting for his family's respect.
He watched helplessly at Money in the Bank as Rusev poked fun at his two sons, and Monday night, he erupted with an intense and violent assault that sent The Bulgarian Brute scurrying.
One of the biggest complaints about the former Florida Gator was his straightforward, almost one-dimensional character. He had not ever really dug deep and discovered the mean and nasty side of himself that someone of his size and athletic background almost always has. That all changed on Raw, as fans saw a side of the big man they never had before.
O'Neil vs. Rusev is hardly a rivalry destined to draw interest as it was. Injecting anger and personal hatred, though, will drum up interest and, potentially, lead to one of the more interesting and intriguing programs in the company.
