WWE SmackDown Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from April 4

The Raw after WWE WrestleMania has typically become the most fan-friendly night of the year. There are new debuts, major angles and monumental announcements that keep fans invested and create an excitement for the weeks that follow.

This year, SmackDown Live got in on the fun, introducing fans of the blue brand to new faces and continuing its top rivalries.

The biggest news to come out of the show was Shinsuke Nakamura's hotly anticipated debut. Played to the ring by master violinist Lee English Jr., he received a thunderous ovation as he interrupted The Miz and stood tall in the center of the squared circle, announcing his arrival to the masses.

Tye Dillinger also made his debut Tuesday. The Superstar known affectionately as The Perfect 10 defeated Curt Hawkins in a moment he has waited his entire career for.

Those two Superstars are among the biggest winners of the night. Who joined them and who did not have quite the same good fortune, winding up the most notable losers of the night?

Find out with this recap of the April 4 broadcast.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura made his much-anticipated main roster debut Tuesday night, stepping through the curtain for the first time and basked in the deafening ovation that greeted him. Introduced into the ring by the music of Lee English Jr., his arrival felt like a moment in time destined to affect the brand well into the future.

The fans that had jam-packed the Amway Arena in Orlando welcomed The King of Strong Style with open arms, ensuring they will eagerly support him in the weeks and months to come.

Arriving just seconds after The Miz announced that John Cena and Nikki Bella were leaving for a long time, it appears as though management will lean heavily on Nakamura to help carry the load on SmackDown Live, just as he did for NXT over the last 12 months.

Time will tell is Nakamura can achieve the same success on the main roster that he did in NXT. The language barrier may prove troublesome when it comes to cutting promos, but Nakamura has a natural charisma about him that will make up for that one deficiency.

Between the ropes, he will bring a style of competition fans of WWE programming are not familiar with. His work with The Miz, AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and any other Superstar lucky enough to work with him will keep audiences captivated by the in-ring action and engrossed in his unconventional movements, facial expressions and body language.

Nakamura is about to change the game on Tuesday nights. His debut may have made him the biggest winner of the April 4 episode of SmackDown, but when all is said and done, the biggest winner of all will be the WWE Universe.

Loser: Randy Orton

He may have captured the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, collecting world title No. 13, but Randy Orton entered Amway Arena to a silence best described as deafening just prior to Tuesday night’s main event.

That silence is an indictment on both the performer himself and the creative team behind him. Just 48 hours removed from a massive pay-per-view victory, fans could not have possibly cared less about him as he stalked toward the squared circle for a tag team match with Luke Harper against Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan.

The match itself generated little in the way of heat, either.

Why would it?

Orton is essentially the same bland and undefined character he has been for the last five years. Earlier in the show, the audience had been introduced to the passionate "Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger and the dynamic Shinsuke Nakamura. With fresher, more interesting options at their disposal, fans were uninspired by Orton's contributions to the show.

Expect that to continue.

Until Orton brings something new to his performance or undergoes a complete character makeover, his title reign will be greeted with the same uninspired responses his walk to the ring was met with Tuesday night.

Winner: Tye Dillinger

"The Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger made his main roster debut Tuesday night.

To most, it was another instance of a Superstar getting his call-up. To those who had followed his career, it was the culmination of hard work and dedication to his craft.

Having overcome countless hurdles placed between him and stardom under the WWE umbrella, Dillinger created a gimmick for himself that worked and generated a tremendous following.

Long before he ever set foot on the SmackDown Live stage, the chants of "10" could be heard prominently on WWE TV, proving he had struck gold with an on-screen persona that fans were passionate about.

His victory over Curt Hawkins may prove inconsequential, but Dillinger's arrival is, at the very least, a pat on the back for creating what he has. At the most, it is the start of a career that could reach heights no one could have ever imagined when Dillinger pulled the cue card out with the big "10" written in its center.

An inspirational story, his could parallel that of Daniel Bryan's if WWE Creative puts in the effort.

Loser: Erick Rowan

Most Superstars return from injury and enjoy at least a few weeks of a sustained push.

Erick Rowan is not most Superstars.

The red-bearded giant of The Wyatt Family, he returned to television after sitting out months due to injury. In the night's main event, he teamed with Bray Wyatt to face former tag team partner Luke Harper and WWE champion Randy Orton.

Rowan's return was unceremonious. In that headline bout, he was dropped with an RKO and had his shoulders pinned to the mat.

The powerhouse of The Wyatt Family, Rowan is often treated like the buffoon of the group. Tuesday night was no different. Even after Wyatt delivered some more mind games, momentarily distracting Orton, Rowan could not deliver his full nelson slam for the win.

Wholly incompetent in every way, it is a wonder Rowan is even kept around at this point.

Winner: Naomi

At WrestleMania, Naomi returned to the squared circle and captured the SmackDown Women's Championship, forcing a tapout from Alexa Bliss in a Six-Pack Challenge to win the title.

Tuesday night, she successfully retained her title, using the same submission hold to secure the victory.

It was the latest win in Naomi's banner year. More importantly, her performance shined a light on the strides she has made over the last six months.

Naomi is a star.

She has always had the athleticism to be a star, but she needed something else to truly get her over with the masses. She found that in the glow gimmick and, even better, has grown and evolved as a worker. Now a complete package that can be heavily featured on a weekly basis and remain popular with audiences, Naomi may be the breakout star of the SmackDown women's division the brand has been seeking.
