WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from April 3

The Raw after WrestleMania is the most explosive Raw broadcast of the year, and the April 3 episode was no different.

Finn Balor made a surprise return, teaming with Seth Rollins to defeat Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens in an explosive tag team main event. The leader of the Balor Club was not the only Superstar to make his impression on Monday's broadcast.

Former two-time NXT tag team champion The Revival made its main roster debut and wasted little time sending a message to the tag division by defeating The New Day and gleefully injuring Kofi Kingston.

Emma returned after a long hiatus, and new Raw tag team champions The Hardy Boyz made their first appearance on the flagship show since shocking the world at WrestleMania.

All of those Superstars earned either "winner" or "loser" status for their contributions to Monday night's monumental episode. Which Superstars landed on which side of the argument and who else joined them?

Take a look with this recap of this week's USA Network presentation.

Winner: Finn Balor

The former universal and NXT champion made his return to Raw Monday night as the surprise tag team partner of Seth Rollins in the night's main event. Balor entered the arena to an enormous ovation and exploded into the match off a hot tag from Rollins late.

The Irish-born competitor pinned United States champion Owens clean in the center of the ring, capping off a monumental return to a brand in desperate need of marquee babyfaces.

Balor can be that guy.

One can only assume there were plans for Balor, the first universal champion ever, to stand atop the Raw brand through the fall and winter of 2016 before injury struck and forced the alteration of those plans.

With Roman Reigns firmly entrenched in "tweener" mode and Chris Jericho on his way out again, Balor can be the lead babyface on Raw if the writing team behind the flagship show deems him so.

Strong victories over established stars, as was the case Monday night, and the occasional emergence of The Demon would be all Balor needs to break out and be the main roster star he was well on his way to being one summer ago.

Losers: Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

Heading into WrestleMania 33, Anderson and Gallows were finally enjoying the momentum that had eluded them earlier in the current run. They were presented as badass tag team champions who were not above busting opponents open with ladders if it meant sending a message.

At The Showcase of the Immortals, they lost their Raw Tag Team Championships in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match. Monday, they had the opportunity to regain the gold as they battled The Hardy Boyz.

Unfortunately for Gallows and Anderson, that same killer instinct on display before the big event was nowhere to be found Monday night. They were unceremoniously dispatched of by Matt and Jeff Hardy, defeated after a Twist of Fate/Swanton Bomb combination.

Instead of being the genesis of a rivalry between the teams, it felt like the definitive end of Anderson and Gallows' time in title contention on Raw.

Perhaps a fresh start on SmackDown Live, where former Bullet Club teammate AJ Styles is the franchise star, would best suit the talented tandem.

Winner: Nia Jax

Nia Jax may have been the first woman eliminated from Sunday’s Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match for the Raw Women’s Championship, but no one left as big an imprint on the division Monday night than the dominant competitor.

Moments after she, Emma and Charlotte lost to Bayley, Banks and Dana Brooke in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match, Jax found herself on the receiving end of a tongue-lashing from Charlotte. Unlike so many others who have taken the verbal assault from the five-time champion, Jax lashed out.

She obliterated Charlotte with a corner splash and finished her off with a massive elbow drop to the chest. The fans in attendance reacted favorably to the angle, cheering Jax as she made her exit.

It remains to be seen if her assault on Charlotte was meant to set up a babyface turn or if Raw will feature two heel personas waging war for the right to challenge Bayley for the women's title at some point in the near future.

One thing is for certain: Fans enjoyed watching someone shut the loudmouth Charlotte up, even if it was only for one night and Jax benefited exponentially for it.

Loser: Emma

Emma returned to Raw after weeks of vignettes promising the re-emergence of her heel persona. Anyone expected a major push of sorts was surely disappointed by the presentation of the character Monday night.

Not once during her screen time did it ever feel like she was in line for a major push, nor did she look like a star poised to achieve greatness. Beyond her entrance, her return felt more like business as usual, suggesting she will fall in line on Monday nights.

The one silver lining for the Aussie is the potential that she lands on SmackDown Live.

Emma is an immensely talented performer whose in-ring work with Paige during her time in NXT proved the genesis of the Women's Revolution. She has had bad luck with poor creative since her debut on the main roster in 2014.

From writers unable to grasp her character to aborted pushes under a new name, she has been the victim of many a start-and-stop push.

Now that she is back hopefully, she can gain the full attention of WWE Creative and enjoy the sort of run befitting her talent.

As it stands, it does not appear as though that will happen on Monday nights.

Winners: The Revival

Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder have long been the best tag team under the WWE umbrella. As The Revival, they dominated the competition in NXT while proving the closest thing to The Andersons in 2017.

They are brutal, vile and violent, and they pick apart their opponents like world-class surgeons. They have an innate ability to tell a story between the ropes that few others possess.

Their work in NXT with the likes of DIY, American Alpha, Enzo Amore, Big Cass and The Authors of Pain has demonstrated their ability to work with and elicit the best from teams of varying styles and experience.

Monday night, they finally made their main roster debut, answering an open challenge from The New Day and proceeding to defeat them clean in the center of the ring.

If that was not bad enough, they took out the ankle of Kofi Kingston and sent a message to the rest of the WWE locker room in the process.

The Revival now figures to make a major impact on Raw's tag team division going forward, proving to the worldwide audience why they are what they say they are: top guys.
