Omos Credits AEW Star Bobby Lashley For Having A “Tremendous Effect” In His Wrestling Career
In an interview with the YouTube channel NarcolepsyBoy94,the 7-foot-3-inch Nigerian Giant reflected on the opportunity he got in WWE to work with Bobby Lashley. Omos had made his WrestleMania debut in 2021, teaming up with AJ Styles to successfully challenge The New Day for tag team gold. One year later, he was on his own, wrestling the now AEW star.
I remember doing that WrestleMania [in Dallas, 2022] because that was the first time [WWE] was like, ‘Okay, so, you’re on your own now. You don’t have AJ Styles. It’s time to figure it out.’ And it was just me in the ring with Bobby.
I have tremendous respect for Bobby Lashley. Everything he has done for me in my career, because he really helped me a lot! You know this. We worked for like two years. Bobby and I were in a feud. Even after we dominated, me and Bobby were just going after each other almost like, a year and a half, two years – that time I spent with him, I cannot thank him enough. He had a tremendous effect in my career as a performer. I’m glad I was able to have that feud with him. Hopefully, if he comes back, we can run it back. You never know. But, I love Bobby, man. He’s good peoples,” Omos said.
