The Nigerian giant Omos nearly got into it with the 'Monster among men' Strowman at their weigh-in session ahead of Saturday's event.

 

Saturday's WWE Crown Jewel premium live event features a host of big matches, but one, in particular, stands out in that regard, as WWE’s two giants will collide to decide who is no.1 when Omos faces off against Braun Strowman singles action.

While the size and strength of the two men is obvious to see, it was finally decided during today's WWE press conference in Saudi Arabia when the two men stepped on the scales to give their official weight before the encounter. 

‘The Monster among Men’  Strowman will go into the match as the underdog, as he came in considerably lighter than his opponent.

 The former Universal Champion weighed 335 pounds, while the ‘Nigerian giant’ Omos was billed at an impressive 416.66 pounds, highlighting just how much mass will be in the ring this weekend. 

After the weigh-ins, the pair nearly got into a real fight on the spot in the presence of WWE C.O.O Triple H who did his best to control the mighty pair as tempers flared, forcing Omos himself to even take off his suit in anticipation of a real fight on the spot.

The two men are feuding for bragging rights to prove who is the most dominant big man in the company, and they have been trying to one-up each other in recent weeks on television after Omos made it clear to his manager MVP that Strowman is his next target.

While Omos might have the advantage in terms of weight, he is reportedly going to be light when it comes to his travel companion, as his manager MVP has not made the trip to Saudi Arabia. 

This means Omos will have to go it alone against Strowman, who will be competing in his first premium live event since returning to the company. 

Omos has not been pinned since his defeat at the hands of Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania38, while Strowman is also undefeated since his return to the company in September.

 

WWE is headed back to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 5,2022.

The main event will be headlined by Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul as the ‘Tribal chief’ looks to defend his undisputed WWE Universal title while Bianca Belair defends her WWE Women’s title against Bayley in the women’s division.
