Omos and Bobby Lashley's gargantuan WrestleMania clash is one of the few matches that has proven too difficult to predict leading up to WWE's two-night extravaganza.

Some fans believe WWE could give Omos a career-defining win over Lashley. However, Kenny Bolin questioned the proposed booking decision while dissecting the match during Sportskeeda Wrestling's WrestleMania Preview show.

The former OVW manager said Omos was still not ready for a top singles spot in WWE, adding the giant wasn't yet capable of putting on three-star matches.

While Bolin sees immense potential in him, he said Omos still needed more time to grasp the in-ring technicalities of wrestling:

"Well, it depends on how much of a wagon you're hooking to Omos, is my opinion on this. I see an awfully big man, an awfully impressive man, who, at this point of the game, still needs to be a bodyguard. But then again, if you orchestrate his matches right, you can get some use out of it. I don't know that he's ready to be going in there, putting on even a three-star match, let alone a five; I don't know if he's capable of putting on a two-star match. Poor Bobby. He's in a tough way because they probably want to elevate this guy soon; beating Bobby Lashley would give him a little credibility, beating a former world champion." (from 39:06 to 39:45)

Bolin is hopeful of Bobby Lashley defeating Omos at WrestleMania. The former manager even took a shot at Commander Azeez while sharing his predictions:

"Please, god, let Bobby come out of this thing victorious because this guy's [Omos] got ways to go, and the only thing worse than him is the other big guy that's been embarrassing on TV on a daily basis [Commander Azeez]. (from 40:22 to 40:35)

Will Omos beat Bobby Lashley at WWE WrestleMania 38?

The updated betting odds have given Omos a slight advantage over Bobby Lashley. It shouldn't surprise anybody as the 7-foot-3 superstar has gotten pushed as a destroyer since his split from AJ Styles.

WWE higher-ups would ideally have high hopes from Omos, and a win against the two-time WWE Champion will help legitimize his run.
