WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from October 31

Erik BeastonNov 1, 2016

The fallout from Hell in a Cell was at the center of Monday's WWE Raw, a show dedicated to recapping the Oct. 30 pay-per-view while simultaneously looking ahead to a Survivor Series pay-per-view devoted to brand warfare.

The seeds were planted for intriguing stories heading into that extravaganza, with several members of Team Raw being announced and determined over the course of the night's broadcast.

One of them was the night's biggest winner.

Biggest Winner: Braun Strowman

The monstrous former Wyatt Family member cashed his ticket to Survivor Series Monday night, eliminating Sami Zayn to win a Battle Royal and join Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens on Team Raw.

It was a defining victory for Strowman in his singles career, one that establishes him as the wild card ahead of the November pay-per-view.

The heavyweight has demolished anyone put in his path, including jobber to the stars James Ellsworth, and has done so in impressive fashion. He is so simplistically booked, but therein lies the beauty of the character: He is an unstoppable force who mows down everyone and everything. He is not complex or overbooked. 

He is wrestling at its finest and most effective.

Now, Strowman has the opportunity to shine on the biggest stage on which he has ever competed—a match that could do more to elevate him up the card than anything he has done to this point, including his stint with Bray Wyatt and Co.

The question is whether WWE Creative can protect him, shielding his weaknesses from the audience just enough to make his strengths stand out even more. If it can manage that, the company could have a beastly new main event villain on its hands.

Biggest Loser: Luke Gallows

There was a time when it appeared as though Luke Gallows had left the slapstick nonsense of Festus behind him, taking off to Japan and making a name for himself as one of the dangerous enforcer types of The Bullet Club.

Monday night, any momentum he and partner Karl Anderson built for themselves as a tag team following their victory at Hell in a Cell was erased in a Trick or Street Fight that ranked as one of the dumbest, most intelligence-insulting matches of the year.

The contest did even more to erase the credibility of the heel tandem, all for a laugh or two on a holiday.

Was Titus O'Neil busy? Did Curtis Axel not have anything better to do?

A major misstep—and one that will only prove problematic when WWE Creative finally gets itself together and attempts to present the tandem as a legitimate threat to the roster.
