WWE: Good Week, Bad Week
Friday 7 April 2017 06:03, UK
The RAW and Smackdown shows after Wrestlemania are always raucous and full of surprises - we break down the winners and losers.
GOOD WEEK:
Brock Lesnar
Brock must be feeling great right now. He finally defeated Goldberg in a match where something more than his pride was on the line. Better yet, he proved many doubters wrong by finally keeping Goldberg down for the three count.
Lesnar is now the main champion on the Raw roster and has set his sights on Roman Reigns, who claims he "runs the yard now".
With Paul Hayman pulling the strings and Braun Strowman also wanting a piece of Reigns, an interesting few months are ahead.
Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns did the unthinkable at WrestleMania and became only the second man to defeat Undertaker at the pay-per-view he's owned for more than two decades.
The WWE Universe voiced their objections to Reigns for more than 12 minutes on RAW, with Reigns responding by uttering just one sentence: "This is my yard now."
Whether you love him or you hate him, it seems that Reigns really is the "Big Dog" now.
Matt & Jeff Hardy
What a week for The Hardy Boyz.
Shock the world by returning to the WWE after eight years away, win the RAW Tag Team Titles in an epic ladder match at Wrestlemania and then beat former champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson the following night on RAW.
It's also been revealed The Hardyz have signed full-time WWE contracts, which means they'll be sticking around for a while.

BAD WEEK:
Alexa Bliss
The Smackdown Women's Champion lost her belt at Wrestlemania and then was forced to tap out for the second time in 48 hours when she lost her rematch to Naomi on Smackdown.
With a "superstar shake-up" promised next week, could Bliss be off to try to conquer RAW instead?
The New Day
Yes, they hosted Wrestlemania but the closest they got to any meaningful action was to introduce the Hardy Boyz' return.
The following night on RAW they offered an "open challenge" only for The Revival to make their full WWE debuts and beat the once successful trio.
With Seamus & Cesaro, Enzo & Cass, Anderson & Gallows and now The Revival on RAW, are The New Day at the back of the line in the title hunt?
Bray Wyatt
The so-called "Eater of Worlds" came up short against Randy Orton at Wrestlemania, despite Wyatt pulling out a host of tricks to try to hold on to his WWE Championship belt.
Bray's attempt at revenge also failed on Smackdown when he was forced to leave his "family member" Erick Rowan to the hands of Orton and Luke Harper, who won their tag match.
If mutual disdain for Wyatt has brought Harper and Orton together, regaining the gold will be an even more difficult prospect.
