WWE Superstar Omos turned a few heads when he first appeared with AJ Styles in October 2020. The RAW Superstar remained part of Styles’ storylines for quite some time and started playing a major role.
This led him to appear with Styles right after The New Day won the RAW Tag Team Championships and challenge the duo to a match at WrestleMania. At The Show of Shows, Omos made his televised in-ring debut with Styles by his side.
The 7-foot-3 superstar surprised many fans by delivering some big moves late in the match and winning the RAW Tag Team titles for his team.
The victory shows that the creatives have a lot of faith in the colossal superstar. WWE has always had a soft spot for 7-footers, but it looks like Omos has a lot more to offer than many other giants who’ve come before him.
Keeping that in mind, let’s take a look at six things you probably didn’t know about Jordan Omogbehin - the WWE Superstar now known as Omos.
#6 Omos joined the WWE Performance Center along with some big names in 2018
Omos came into the limelight as AJ Styles’ bodyguard in October 2020. Since then, WWE fans have watched him on RAW many times. But he initially joined the WWE Performance Center back in October 2018 along with some other big names.
Matt Riddle was one of the men who joined the WWE Performance Center with Omos. The Original Bro was known as “one of NXT’s most highly publicized signings of all time.”
That’s not all, as Mia Yim, Damian Priest, Humberto Carrillo, and Chelsea Green were the other superstars who joined the WWE Performance Center at the same time. The company issued a press release following the signings and described Omos with the following words:
“Towering over the rest of the recruits is 7-foot-3, 370-pound Jordan Omogbehin. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, the imposing Omogbehin played college basketball at the University of South Florida and Morgan State University in Baltimore.”
Omos may have competed in far fewer matches than those who joined WWE with him. However, he has managed to make a big impact by winning the RAW Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania.
#5 Omos has tried his hand at becoming a food blogger
Omos has finally shown the WWE Universe what he is capable of in the squared circle. But being a 7-foot-3 giant must be a tough job and would work up a big appetite.
The WWE Superstar has tried to turn his love for food into a part-time hobby by becoming a food blogger. Known as “Giant Foodie,” Omos has reviewed a Sushi Station on his Instagram account.
The RAW Tag Team Champion captioned the video as follows:
“The Giant Foodie explores the world of food.”
It’s good to see that the superstar is interested in venturing into a side project just like Xavier Woods, Sheamus, and Asuka. Hopefully, fans will get to watch a lot more of The Giant Foodie’s reviews in the future.
#4 Omos is in a relationship
There aren’t too many things known about The Giant Omos. However, one thing fans probably don’t know is that he is in a relationship. While most WWE Superstars prefer to keep their relationships private, Omos couldn’t help but appreciate his partner's birthday with an Instagram post a couple of years ago.
Omos posted a few photos and wrote a heart-warming caption for his partner, Chey, on Instagram.
“There are some many things, I can say about this woman right here! The list is so long I don’t even know where to begin. I will say this, It is such a privilege to see you grow everyday, your selflessness doesn’t go unnoticed. Your hard work, consistency and drive has shown me what it takes to fight for something larger than you. Thank you for always giving a positive talk when I doubted myself. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. I am proud to be your MAN!!! Happy Birthday baby girl!!! Looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays!!!”
While not much is known about Omos’ partner Chey, her Instagram feed suggests that she is a devout Christian and a health professional. Looks like Chey is a source of inspiration for the colossal WWE Superstar.
#3 WWE Superstar Omos came to the United States aged 15
The Giant Omos is no regular WWE Superstar. The 7-foot-3 athlete has turned a few heads since becoming AJ Styles’ bodyguard. Omos revealed how he moved from Lagos, Nigeria to the United States in a social media post.
He was only 15-years-old when he boarded a plane to head to the USA. The WWE Superstar had just $1000 in his pocket and decided to take a leap of faith at a very young age.
“At the beginning of the decade, This 15 year old boarded a plane to the USA with $1000 from friends and family stuffed into my socks. With no idea of what this new country had in store for me, I took a leap of faith because I understood the enormous opportunity that awaited me. As I look back I am grateful for all the ups and downs as they have made me the man I am today! With that being said, this new decade I am ready to CONQUER you!!!”
Omos settled in Chesapeake, Virginia, where he attended and graduated from Atlantic Shores Christian School. The giant was good at basketball thanks to his height and made it through school by playing the sport.
#2 WWE Superstar Omos has a postgraduate degree
WWE isn't the only place Omos wanted to excel. The giant has managed to not only do well in his WWE training but has also earned himself a postgraduate degree.
Omos joined WWE in 2018 and started making his way through his official training. But in 2019, Omos took to social media to post regarding another big achievement in his life.
The WWE Superstar revealed he had managed to graduate with an MBA degree from King University. He posted a photo with his elder brother and accompanied it with a short and sweet caption.
“One of the best days of my life!! Walking that stage with a MBA in hand!!! Btw that’s my older brother. Love you big bro”
King University is a private university situated in Bristol, Tennessee. The university was founded in 1867 and is governed with covenant affiliations to the Presbyterian Church and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in the United States.
It’s great to see that Omos has put so much effort into ensuring he has a much more secure future. While several WWE Superstars gave up their further studies to focus on wrestling, Omos is one man who has managed to bag a postgraduate degree along with a championship in WWE.
#1 Triple H holds Omos in high regard in WWE
Omos has managed to impress quite a lot of people in the WWE Universe with his first big performance at WrestleMania 37. Behind the scenes, Triple H is one man who holds the WWE Superstar in high regard.
Triple H is known to have a keen eye for wrestling talent. Speaking to Metro UK, the Cerebral Assassin revealed he sees a lot more in Omos than perhaps others do.
“It’s funny, people just see what he does on TV, so they see him the one time a week on TV or whatever. They don’t see him in the gym still, at the PC, they don’t see him in the ring at the PC. They don’t see him training every day, still, to be something special. He’s putting in the effort. He just really is one of those hard-working, hard-work-ethic people that is putting in the effort to really be good at this, and I think he will be.”
“You’re getting to see that first hand at Mania, that he’s not just the big dude standing there. I think he’s gonna shock a lot of people. He’s really a sponge.”
Not only did Triple H praise Omos' work ethic, but he also praised his personality.
"He’s got a bright future. Just a quality person, a great guy, humble, just loves what he’s doing, couldn’t be happier. He’s one of those success stories – when I see him, it makes me smile. He’s just one of those guys, and you wanna see him succeed.”
Triple H was sure of the fact Omos was going to do a good job at WrestleMania 37, and that is exactly what the giant managed to do. The superstar took out the New Day single-handedly. Things are certainly looking bright for Omos in WWE.
