5 things WWE RAW got right after Day 1: Brock Lesnar finds new challenger; Paul Heyman becomes the advocate (January 3, 2022)

#3. Omos decimated AJ Styles on WWE RAW

A week after their scheduled match, AJ Styles and Omos finally went to war on WWE RAW. The veteran played mind games with the giant early in the contest and rolled out of the ring. The Giant responded by hitting a big boot to the face to remind Styles that he wasn't just any ordinary competitor.

Styles tried to weaken Omos and cut him down to size with some kicks to his legs. The Phenomenal One continued to throw everything at his former partner, but he couldn't bring down the big man.

He prepared to hit the Phenomenal Forearm, but Omos swatted him out of the air with one hand. He picked up Styles and hit a two-handed chokeslam for a big win.

The match wasn't too great, but RAW did well to build Omos on TV. It looks like WWE wants to rush the rivalry and quickly build The Heavyweight for something bigger. That's why the match was held on RAW instead of the Royal Rumble.

Omos could be the top performer at the 2022 Royal Rumble. RAW shouldn't stretch the rivalry for too long and, instead, take Styles to the United States Championship picture soon.
