#1. Backstage WWE news on Jordan Omogbehin's in-ring work

Jordan Omogbehin was introduced as AJ Styles' new bodyguard on the most recent episode of RAW. This would be the company's third attempt at booking the 7'3" WWE Superstar in a meaningful angle. The fans have already seen him as one of Akira Tozawa's ninjas, and later as the RAW Underground security guard.

Jordan Omogbehin is expected to become an active in-ring competitor sooner rather than later, but there is some backstage concern regarding his work inside the squared circle.

Dave Meltzer reported on the Wrestling Observer Radio that based on what's been told to him by people backstage in WWE, Jordan Omogbehin is reportedly unimpressive in the ring. The towering WWE Superstar was said to be slow between the ropes. While he looks great as an intimidating character, his in-ring work apparently need fine-tuning before he can take his main roster run to the next level.

Jordan Omogbehin hasn't even wrestled many matches down at WWE NXT, as all of his bouts happened at the Black and Gold brand's live events.

"I know that, from what I 'ver heard from people who have watched him, is that he is not that impressive when you watch him wrestle. So it's a tricky thing. Because it's exactly like, you can do this for a while but then where do you go because these roles usually transition to the ring and he is just, for whatever reason, he is very slow, from what I was told and it's like it's really impressive him standing there but in the matches that he has done when he was in NXT, it was not like Andre The Giant, where he goes in there, and everything he does gets over. They try to have him do big man spots, but people don't really go for it that much."
