Omos hasn’t labored a WWE match since he participated within the Andre the Large Memorial Battle Royal on April 5, however it seems he’s transferring nearer to a return. On Friday, information broke that the 7-foot-4 large is about to make his debut with Professional Wrestling Noah, a promotion in Japan.
Omos shall be teaming with Jack Morris and difficult for the GHC tag-team titles, per the promotion’s official X account. Right here’s Omos’ introduction video.
Apart from a stint as AJ Types’ bodyguard that led to a 133-day run as tag-team champions with the Phenomenal One, Omos’ WWE profession has been principally non-descript.
WWE repeatedly entered Omos into feuds with the likes of Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar, just for him to be overwhelmed and used to re-establish highly effective superstars. Omos has the look of the normal WWE large.
He’s large and has mastered trying menacing. Nonetheless, that gimmick couldn’t be farther from his precise persona. Omos paints, all the time comes off as nice, and is extremely clever and considerate.
You’ll be able to see and listen to all of these qualities within the interview beneath from a current episode of The Undertaker’s podcast.
Sadly, WWE hasn’t found out find out how to market him past basing all the things on his measurement. Let’s be actual, he’s a legit 7-foot-4, so ignoring that on the earth {of professional} wrestling is senseless.
It’s in all probability not a coincidence that Omos was a visitor on The Undertaker’s podcast and that, inside the identical week, he confirmed up at Professional Wrestling Noah.
WWE might be making ready him for a re-launch of his character, and it’s attainable this could be associated to the promotion’s upcoming debut on Netflix.
Omos hasn’t been introduced for the kickoff of Uncooked on the streaming platform, scheduled for January 6, however I’d suspect all types of surprises to be delivered as WWE makes an attempt to make a mark on Netflix.
In any case, I’m hoping Omos’ subsequent run on WWE programming is profitable and that he’s utilized because the distinctive large he has the potential to develop into.
