According to Fightful Select, WWE has brought the giant into town for the event, though its unclear if hell actually be in the Mens Royal Rumble Match.
PWInsider initially reported that Omos was heading to the Royal Rumble site, and now sources have confirmed that WWE has been discussing his involvement in the match. While nothing is official, the fact that his name is even in the conversation is enough to raise eyebrows.
Over the past year, WWE has primarily used Omos for media appearances and battle royals, but he turned a lot of heads with his recent run in Japans NOAH promotion. His willingness to step out of his comfort zone and work in Japan reportedly impressed many within WWE, adding more intrigue to his potential role in the Rumble.
