Omos is one of the tallest wrestlers in WWE history. He showed promise when he teamed with AJ Styles, even winning the Raw Tag Team Titles. However, since last year’s Andre the Giant Battle Royal, The Nigerian Giant has been completely absent. Now, after considerable speculation about his future with the company, there’s a positive update.
During a conversation with Gambling Industry News, Omos revealed that he signed a new multi-year contract with WWE. The Nigerian Giant said things were going well for him and that he was excited about what’s to come. Omos shared that he’s working hard on some new projects and assured fans that fun times lie ahead.
The 7’3″ wrestler confirmed that he’s staying with WWE, having signed a new contract with the company for what he called “years to come.” Looking at his WWE career, after partnering with The Phenomenal One, Omos joined forces with MVP, who had betrayed Bobby Lashley. The rivalry between Omos and Lashley led to a match at WrestleMania 38.
“Things are going very well. 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!”

Omos also had a marquee match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39. Though he lost, he earned considerable respect from fans for going toe-to-toe with The Beast Incarnate. If the Nigerian Giant does return to WWE, the timing could be perfect for his career. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
