WWE’s backstage reaction to Omos has been positive following his undefeated run in Japan. In January, Omos competed in Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he and Jack Morris captured the GHC Tag Team Championship before being recalled to WWE.

A report from Fightful Select indicates that “Omos impressed those in WWE with his run in NOAH and his willingness to go to Japan.” He will be at the Royal Rumble in Indianapolis, Indiana, although it’s uncertain if he will participate in the match. The possibility “has been discussed,” according to reports.

Omos went undefeated in seven matches during his time in Japan and even retained the GHC Tag Team titles against Daga before announcing his WWE return. He relinquished the championship, promising fans that he will return to NOAH someday. The organization has declared the championship vacant after Omos transferred his title to Daga.
