Browsing: Omos
After interacting at a WWE NXT house show in Detroit on Friday night, Omos and Oba Femi are set to wrestle tonight in Cleveland.
The news was announced via WWE NXT social media accounts on Saturday.
“After an interaction last night at #NXTDetroit, @Obaofwwe has challenged @TheGiantOmosto a match TONIGHT at #NXTCleveland!“
On Fridayâ€s show, Omos confronted Femi and the two had a brief stare down before Omos hit Femi with a clothesline. Femi then challenged Omos to a match in a video posted to social media on Saturday.
“This is a message from the ruler directly to the giant Omos. You came here to Detroit city under the guise of being an ally of the ruler. When I least expected it, you turned on me and you hit me when I wasn’t looking. Omos, you know what that tells me? That tells me that that you think you can come down from your throne, from your pedestal, and come here to NXT and try to bully people. You can’t bully anybody, especially not the ruler.”
“There can only be one Nigerian giant. There can only be one giant of Africa. There can only be one dominant force and his name is not Omos, his name is Oba Femi!”
Both Omos and Femi are from Lagos, Nigeria. Femi moved to the United States in 2017 after being offered a track and field scholarship by the University of Tennessee. Omos moved to the United States alone at the age of 15, attending Atlantic Shores Christian School and later playing basketball for the University of South Florida.
Omos returned to the ring on Thursday, defeating Lexis King at an NXT house show in Columbus. It was his first match since AAA TripleMania XXXIII, where he won the Bardahl Cup battle royal.
Sol Ruca, Jacy Jayne, and Trick Williams are also advertised for tonight’s NXT house show in Cleveland.

Two monsters face to face.
NXT presented its latest Live Event from the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan this Friday night. The show featured names such as Trick Williams, Ricky Saints and MCMG in action.
One of the matches on the card saw Oba Femi taking on Jeâ€Von Evans. Femi picked up the victory over the high-flying star. He couldn’t celebrate for long, however, as DarkState attacked the former NXT Champion.
It was Omos who made the save for Oba. After sending DarkState packing, the Nigerian Giant came face-to-face with Oba Femi in a surreal moment. The segment ended with Omos laying out the development star:
The former bodyguard of AJ Styles had last wrestled on WWE TV in April last year. While he had made appearances for NOAH and AAA, Omos had not competed under the WWE banner since then.
He finally made his in-ring return for the company during a similar Live Event on Thursday which also featured an unfortunate injury to a current champion.
It’s unknown what the company is planning for the Nigerian star. His live event return suggests that we might see him back on TV soon. If this latest interaction is any indication, Omos might be getting involved in a big feud upon his comeback.
