5 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Survivor Series 2021

Ups…

5. Omos Shines

Yes, the 25-man battle royal was a really badly branded match. But it did accomplish one thing.

The battle royal was tailor-made for Omos to just wreck a bunch of fools and toss everyone imaginable, and thankfully, that’s what happened. The giant tangled with everyone similarly sized and managed to bounce all of them: Otis, Shanky and Commander Azeez. He also impressively tossed the final four opponents (Street Profits, Ricochet and Cesaro) to win the battle royal.

Really, it was the only outcome that would have made any sense (unless everyone banded together and eliminated him at the outset), so this was a nice touch after having to sit through that otherwise pointless match.
