Omos and Braun Strowman finally locked horns at Crown Jewel and expectedly featured in a very short match that saw The Monster of all Monsters emerge victorious.

WWE's events in Saudi Arabia regularly feature special-attraction matches, and Omos vs. Strowman falls under the aforementioned category.

What happened in Omos and Braun Strowman's WWE Crown Jewel match?
Braun Strowman came out to a massive pop in Riyadh and initially found himself struggling against the 7-foot giant. The former strongman couldn't get control of the match as Omos asserted his dominance with heavy strikes and slams.
Strowman eventually mounted a quintessential babyface comeback as he capitalized on an opening and caught Omos off guard with a massive running powerslam. The move was enough to get Braun the all-important three-count as he celebrated with the fans in attendance while a frustrated Omos exited the ring.
The former Universal Champion also broke his silence shortly after the show and seemed very proud about overcoming The Nigerian Giant's daunting challenge. This contest marked Braun Strowman's first win at a premium live event since returning to WWE. It will be interesting to track his creative direction on TV.
