WWE's resident Nigerian Giant Omos has some (appropriately) large goals in the ring, including becoming the "biggest, baddest son of a gun."
Omos signed with WWE on New Year's Day 2019 and was called up to the main roster the following year. Initially the henchman for AJ Styles, the pair waited until WrestleMania 37 for Omos to make his in-ring debut. The pair won the Raw Tag Team Championships at the event, but after losing the titles to RK-Bro that summer, would split.
Since splitting with AJ Styles, Omos has remained a fixture of WWE programming and worked with some of the top names in the company. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet of Insight this week, Omos spoke about the strongest men he's faced, and two names came to mind.
"I think the two strongest individuals I've ever been in the ring with [are] Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley. I have no idea how those guys are the way that they are. And this is going to sound strange coming from me because I'm also a physical specimen, but they are just these physical specimens and phenomenal athletes."
Compared to many on WWE's main roster, Omos is a relatively fresh face but has big plans for the future. When asked what he hopes to have accomplished within the next five-to-ten years, Omos saw more championship gold down the line.
"I mean, of course [being] WWE Champion. That's it, to get to the top of the list. When I first started I had goals I wanted to accomplish and I've met some of those goals. I wanted to wrestle... at WrestleMania, and I've been at WrestleMania three times. One as a WWE [Raw Tag Team] Champion with AJ Styles. I wrestled Bobby Lashley last year in Dallas, and then starting the show [this year] with the one and only Brock Lesnar. So I think there's a lot of plans left, and there's a lot that I have to achieve, but top of that list is becoming that [WWE Champion.] Holding that gold over my head and saying 'Here, look at me now. I'm the biggest, baddest son of a gun you've ever seen here.' So that is on the top of the list."
Omos, alongside MVP, went undrafted earlier this week, though it has been said that an arrangement has been made for the Nigerian Giant to appear on both brands.
