The May 11 episode of WWE Raw was filled with memorable moments, but who were the show’s biggest winners?

There hasn’t been a more action-packed WWE Raw in quite some time, as the May 11 iteration of the promotion’s flagship show featured several headline-grabbing items.

But nothing mattered more than Becky Lynch’s announcement that she’s stepping away from wrestling to be a mother, relinquishing the Raw Women’s Championship to her great rival Asuka.

Elsewhere, the IIconics returned, a SmackDown star will have a title opportunity on WWE Raw, and Randy Orton laid down a challenge for Backlash.

Here were the show’s five biggest winners.

Asuka

Becky Lynch will be the biggest winner from a non-wrestling perspective, but solely focusing on the show, nobody emerged from WWE Raw this week in a better situation than Asuka.

The Empress of Tomorrow’s Money in the Bank victory was incredibly well-received by wrestling fans, and she is now fully a babyface after her heartwarming reaction to Becky revealing she will be a mother. (Unlike Shayna Baszler’s awful, heartless comments about Becky and even Natalya.)

Watching Asuka run around with the championship in celebration was a sight to behold, and it was only topped by watching her and a returning Kairi Sane rejoice together backstage. It’s going to be great watching Asuka as a champion, as much as we’ll miss Becky owning Monday nights.
