Omos Makes History Amid WWE Absence

Omos recently made an appearance outside WWE. During this, he made history with a viral moment.

The Nigerian Giant has been part of the World Wrestling Entertainment roster for the past few years. The company tried to push him early in his career by putting him with AJ Styles. Together, they even won the RAW Tag Team Championship. After this pairing ended, Omos was teamed with MVP. While the Stamford-based promotion tried to push him as their next big giant, the star struggled to get over with the fans since he was still green in the ring. He hasn't been seen on WWE TV since April 2024. During his absence, he went to Japan and competed in Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he even won the GHC Tag Team Championship.

Omos even made a surprise appearance at TripleMania XXXIII, where he won the Copa Bardahl gauntlet match. During the contest, he found himself in a funny interaction with Microman, who is only 3 ft 3 in tall. The fans had a good laugh as both men faced each other. Microman tried to attack the giant, but his assault was in vain. Omos had no problem picking up Microman and throwing him out of the ring. Their interaction at TripleMania went viral on World Wrestling Entertainment's social media platforms and has garnered over 120 million views.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
