Take a look at the five biggest questions from WWE this week.


#5. How is WWE looking to handle Omos in the months to come?

Omos was introduced to WWE RAW as the new giant on the block. The superstar was paired with AJ Styles, and it didn't take them long to win the RAW Tag Team Championships.

Omos competed alongside Styles but did not compete in a singles match until last week. Riddle challenged the big man to a fight and paid dearly for taking on the big man.

Even though Omos picked up the win, he did not seem too comfortable in the ring. The highlight of the segment involving his match was Riddle and AJ Styles.

How is WWE looking to handle Omos in the coming months? Is the giant WWE Championship material, or does he need to improve a lot more before reaching the top?

RAW already has big men like Bobby Lashley, Karrion Kross, and Keith Lee who can do it all in the ring. Omos isn’t too great on the mic or in the ring. That could affect his rise on the roster.

Omos could end up having a tough time if he splits from AJ Styles and goes on a solo run. Will WWE find a manager for him as it did for The Great Khali?

#4. Is WWE forcing Mustafa Ali and Mansoor into a rivalry?

Mustafa Ali and Mansoor formed a partnership on WWE RAW not too long ago. At first, the two had some differences. They started working well together on RAW as time went by.

WWE could have kept the team together and even gotten them in contention for the tag team titles. However, WWE decided to break the two up on Monday just so they can have a match at Crown Jewel.

Was it a smart move to split a budding team just when it was getting popular? Should WWE have booked someone else to take on Mansoor at the event?

WWE could look to patch the two superstars and bring them on the same page after Crown Jewel.


#3. Why has Sarray been pushed back on WWE NXT 2.0?

Sarray debuted on WWE NXT and picked up a victory over Zoey Stark. From then on, she picked up some big victories to come across as a threat to the entire NXT women’s division.

It looked like Sarray would get a push from WWE, just like Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Io Shirai. However, she has been pulled back by WWE in recent months.

On this week’s episode of NXT, Sarray teamed up with Amari Miller to pick up another loss. Why has WWE pulled back the Japanese Superstar in recent times? Will a few losses hurt Sarray’s run on the NXT brand?

The company should look to rebuild Sarray as a threat so she remains at the top of the brand.

#2. Has Toxic Attraction done enough to get title shots on WWE NXT 2.0?

Mandy Rose has won one singles match since her return to WWE NXT 2.0. She defeated Ember Moon a couple of weeks ago. Meanwhile, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne are yet to win a match as a tag team on NXT.

However, all three women from Toxic Attraction are looking for title shots at the upcoming Halloween Havoc event. Has Toxic Attraction done enough to get title shots in NXT? Should WWE give them a few more wins before having them enter the championship picture?

Mandy Rose is still a big name in WWE. However, Dolin and Jayne are far from proving themselves as worthy challengers for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships.


#1. Will Paul Heyman betray Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel?

WWE hosted a Supersized episode of SmackDown. The show was headlined by the Universal Championship match contract signing ceremony between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar for Crown Jewel.

During the segment, Lesnar claimed that his advocate Paul Heyman had already read the contract with him before SmackDown. Was The Beast bluffing on SmackDown? Or will Paul Heyman backstab The Tribal Chief at Crown Jewel and join his former client?

Things could get very interesting this week in WWE. Heyman’s loyalty will be tested in the days to come.
