Christ knows what WWE hopes to achieve by repeatedly booking Omos as MVP's giant who can't get the job done, but...it is what it is. Putting him over World Heavyweight Championship contender-in-waiting Seth Rollins at Backlash would feel like a real clanger from creative though, and it isn't something they should entertain.

Most fans are scratching their heads wondering why this bout is even happening in the first place anyway. It doesn't seem to fit in with what's happening with Seth on television, and could end up being a bit of a slog. Fingers crossed they keep this fairly brief, and have Rollins escape with the win.

A giant stomp from the top rope (or something) should do the trick.

Hell, WWE could even get away with having Seth stomp Omos off the commentary desk then roll in for the count out win. That'd suffice. Just don't beat him, for crying out loud! That'd spit in the face of his value in the World Title conversation.
