Amidst his long absence, this former WWE champion has signed a brand new contract.
Former tag-team champion, Omos made his World Wrestling Entertainment debut back in 2019 and has since then been presented as one of the most dominant giants in the business. While he brutally destroyed his opponents inside the squared circle, The Nigerian Giant was last seen in the Stamford-based wrestling promotion back at the Andre The Giant Memorial 2024 Battle Royal, and was then seen in Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan for a brief tag-team run.
While his long-running absence continues, Omos recently appeared for an interview with Gambling Industry News, and revealed his new contract status.
“Things are going very well. I can’t complain. I’m really excited about what is to come. I’ve been training really hard and working on some new things and I think it’s going to be a really fun ride ahead, especially because I just signed a renewal with WWE and will be there for years to come!”
A part of the promotion since 2019, his run is now set to continue for several more years.
There are currently no confirmed updates on Omos’ return, and we at ITR Wrestling shall update the date once we hear more.
Omos Reveals How Much Creative Liberty He Has In WWE
In the same interview, Omos opened up on how much creative input he has in his promos, matches, and storylines. Sharing a detailed insight, the former champion also revealed the creative input differences between NOAH and WWE.
“Promos? I’ve been able to show how powerful I can be as a wrestler, but I’ve never had the chance to show the world my promo skills. And I think during my last run, I was kind of boxed into this idea of what they wanted to present me so they told me exactly what they wanted me to do. Doing matches, when I first started I just listened to the veterans and those behind the scenes because I was a young guy starting out in the business.
But the more experience I got, the more input I would add. When I was with MVP and were together, I would boss up ideas over to him and ask him what he thought about certain things and he would help me out. And whenever I would get caught in a bind, when figuring out a match, he would tell me what would work well. So that’s how most of my promos and matches have gone.
But when I was in Japan, I had a chance to do things my way. That’s my first time being on my own since MVP’s contract wasn’t renewed. So in Japan, I got to really sit down and put all my matches together and to figure out the creative ways when we were stuck in tight spots based off what book I wanted and we had to find a way out so that was my first time doing my own stuff.”
