Omos – The Giant Could Return on a Giant Stage

Omos hasn't been seen in WWE since the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale last year. While he's been away, the big man impressed in Japan’s Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he won the GHC Tag Team Championship alongside Jack Morris.

Given the Saudi audience’s long-standing admiration for colossal brawlers, Night of Champions could be the ideal setting for Omos to make a statement return.

Although Evolution 2 is being discussed as her destination, Night of Champions may offer the perfect opportunity to reunite the Bella Twins for a storyline-heavy return.

After a shocking beat down at the hands of Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker following WrestleMania 41, Roman Reigns has been off WWE TV. Many expected him to return at Money in the Bank, but he didn’t show.

Now, all attention turns to Night of Champions. If Reigns returns in Saudi Arabia, it could signal the beginning of a massive revenge arc against Rollins’ faction.
