Professional wrestling career



WWE



Training and debut (2019–2020)

It was reported on January 1, 2019, that WWE signed Omogbehin with six other athletes to train at the WWE Performance Center. On July 18, 2019, Omogbehin made his in-ring debut during a July 18 house show, defeating team 2.0 in a two-on-one handicap match.[5] He would keep wrestling on house shows during the following months. On June 15, 2020, he made his television debut during the episode of Monday Night Raw, where he was presented as a surprise member of Akira Tozawa's ninja faction.[6] Appearing as the tallest member of the faction, Omogbehin was referred to only as the "Giant Ninja" as he stood at ringside during team Tozawa's tag match against The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders, however, he would be repackaged as a bodyguard shortly thereafter, serving as the doorman and bouncer for Shane McMahon's Raw Underground.[7]


Alliance with AJ Styles (2020–2021)

Main article: AJ Styles and Omos

In October 2020, after the cancellation of Raw Underground, Omogbehin began associating with AJ Styles, thus establishing himself as a heel. At Survivor Series, Omogbehin was introduced with a new ring name, Omos.[8] At TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, Omos was involved in the WWE Championship match with the eponymous stipulation, preventing The Miz from reaching the title and dropping him onto a table placed outside the ring before chasing John Morrison to the back.[9][10] At Royal Rumble, during the 2021 Royal Rumble match, Omos involved himself by preventing AJ Styles from being eliminated on a few occasions.[11][12] Omos eliminated Big E and Rey Mysterio despite not being in the match.[13][14] He would also go on to help Styles enter the Elimination Chamber match early before being ejected by WWE official Adam Pearce.[15]

On the March 15, 2021, episode of Raw, Omos announced that he would be making his televised in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37 alongside Styles against The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship.[16] At the event, Omos and Styles defeated The New Day to win the titles, after Omos hit Kingston with a choke bomb and pinned him.[17] At SummerSlam, Omos and Styles lost the Raw Tag Team Championship to RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle).[18] At Extreme Rules, Omos and Styles teamed with Bobby Lashley to take on The New Day in a 6-man tag team match, in which Styles, Omos and Lashley lost.[19] After this, it was announced that Styles and Omos would face RK-Bro in a rematch for the tag team titles at Crown Jewel.[20] At the event, they failed to regain the titles.[21]

At Survivor Series on November 21, 2021, Omos participated in a 25-man dual-branded battle royal in honor of the 25th anniversary of The Rock's debut at the 1996 Survivor Series. Omos had the most eliminations at 12 and won the match by last eliminating Ricochet.[22] After weeks of tension between him and Styles, on the December 20, 2021, episode of Raw, Omos refused to tag into their match against Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio, ultimately costing them the match. A fight broke out between the two, effectively ending their alliance when Omos turned on a now face AJ Styles.[23]


Singles competition and alliance with MVP (2022–present)

On the January 3, 2022, episode of Raw, a week after splitting up from Styles, a match was set up between the two, where Omos defeated Styles.[24] On January 29, at the Royal Rumble, Omos entered the namesake match for the first time in his career at number 11, where he eliminated Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins, and Damian Priest before he was eliminated by Styles, Austin Theory, Chad Gable, Dominik Mysterio, Ricochet, and Ridge Holland.[25] On Night 2 of WrestleMania 38, he faced Bobby Lashley in a losing effort, marking his first pinfall loss in WWE.[26] On the April 4 episode of Raw, Omos would begin feuding with Lashley and acquired a new manager in MVP, who had turned on Lashley, thus forming an alliance between the two.[27] He defeated Lashley at WrestleMania Backlash with MVP’s help, but lost to him in a steel cage match on the May 16 episode of Raw.[28] At Hell in a Cell, Omos and MVP lost to Lashley in a 2-on-1 handicap match, ending their feud.[29]

On the June 20 episode of Raw, Omos would qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match after defeating Riddle.[30] At the event, he would fail at winning the match after being thrown through the announce table by all the other competitors.[31]
