Omos returns on WWE Raw, declares for Royal Rumble
Omos was the latest to qualify for the WWE Royal Rumble on Raw.
Monday’s show saw the return of Omos, who quickly defeated Elias. He had not been seen on television since losing to Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel back on November 5.
Earlier in the show, MVP confronted Elias backstage, with MVP seemingly refering to himself as the 2023 Royal Rumble winner. When it was time for the match, MVP came out in his suit and said while the Royal Rumble winner would be defeating Elias tonight, he wasn’t talking about himself. Instead Omos came out and won the match.
Akira Tozawa later attempted to declare himself for the Royal Rumble match. However, WWE official Adam Pearce said he would have to earn it. Tozawa ended up losing to Bronson Reed.
