4. Omos impresses in his official WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37

The RAW Tag Team Championships changed hands at WrestleMania 37 as AJ Styles and Omos defeated The New Day to claim the belts.

The win sees Styles become a Grand Slam champion in WWE, adding tag team gold to the WWE, Intercontinental and United States Championships he has already held in the promotion.

However, the bigger story here (literally) was the performance of Omos. The match marked the official in-ring debut of the monstrous Nigerian-born superstar and was built to showcase him perfectly.

The story of the bout itself revolved around Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston trying to isolate Styles from his partner to prevent Omos from legally entering the match.

This strategy eventually failed and Omos wasted little time in making his presence known once Styles made the tag.

Omos swatted away the offense of Kingston like it was nothing, before Styles climbed on to the shoulders of his associate to deliver a flying Phenomenal Forearm to Woods.

The end came when Omos hit a huge tree slam on Kingston. Just two years ago at WrestleMania, Kofi beat Daniel Bryan to lift the WWE Championship. At WrestleMania 37, he was pinned by Omos with one foot on his chest.

Omos' debut will go down as one of the most dominant outings in WrestleMania history. Based on how easily he handled The New Day, Omos and Styles could be champions for a long time.
