Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• Omos’ journey in Pro Wrestling NOAH has been impressive, and his success there, including winning the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Titles alongside Jack Morris, has solidified his status as a global competitor.
After his latest match in the promotion, Omos relinquished the title and gave it to Daga under the Freebird Rule.
The Nigerian Giant then announced his return to WWE, just a week before Royal Rumble 2025:
“I’m going back to WWE so I’ll give this belt to Daga. Please increase the value of this belt. The champs are now Jack Morris & Daga. I don’t know when but I’ll come back.”

• Scott Steiner has hinted that he might attend WWE’s Royal Rumble premium live event on February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN.
This comes after Steiner and WWE reconciled in recent years, culminating in his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022 alongside his brother, Rick Steiner. Once a vocal critic of Triple H, Steiner has softened his stance, remarking, “you can’t always be angry and hold grudges.”
Steiner also revealed that WWE extended a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal to his son, Brock Rechsteiner, a wide receiver at Jacksonville State University.
The speculation of Steiner’s appearance gained traction after Pat McAfee expressed excitement about the Royal Rumble on X. Steiner replied, “only way Royal Rumble reaches true EPICness is with Big Poppa Pump in the building.”
Fans will have to wait to see if the former World Champion makes a surprise appearance at the event.
