As the Royal Rumble draws closer and closer, speculation is intensifying regarding some of the big surprises WWE could have in store for the men’s and women’s matches. Whether it’s stars potentially returning from injury like Ilja Dragunov, TNA stars like Joe Hendry, or in this case, someone who took a field trip. Speaking on the “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer speculated about Omos’ return for the Royal Rumble given that he recently announced he was returning to WWE after a successful stint with Pro Wrestling NOAH.
“Jack Morris and Omos faced Kaito Kiyomiya and Galeno Del Mal in a tag team title match this weekend, and Omos and Morris won, and then Omos said he was returning to WWE, which brings to mind the people that he’ll come back for the Rumble, dropping the titles I don’t know the story here; I’ve heard a lot of different speculations that would probably all be speculations that you would do it anyway, you know? , if it was his last night, they could have beaten Morris, I’m sure they don’t have the right to beat him, which is fine, they could have beaten Morris. They ultimately decided not to do it. was NOAH’s choice in this matter.
While it’s unclear why Omos is returning to WWE so soon, nor which company made the final decision, what is clear is that NOAH did not allow Omos to simply surrender his GHC Tag Team Championship to Daga to take his place. meaning the belts have been officially released.
