Omos wants to retire John Cena upon his return to the WWE.
The Nigerian giant recently spent time away from the company wrestling in Japan. He went over to compete in Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he impressed the Japanese fans greatly. Alongside Jack Morris, Omos won the GHC Tag Team Championships in NOAH. However, he vacated the belts and returned to the US in 2025, although the giant has yet to re-debut in the WWE. When he does, he is targeting a match with John Cena.
Speaking with MuscleManMalcolm, Omos revealed his desire to face John Cena in the WWE. When asked about the potential match, he said he’d “take a stab at him” and wants to retire the 16-time world champion.
“Absolutely, yeah. You know, he’s wrestled some big guys—Umaga, Khali, Big Show, Taker—so I think I could take a stab at him. You know, retire him, send him packing. Time for him to go.” Omos said.
As he continued, Omos spoke about the advice Triple H has given him in the WWE. He revealed that the WWE Chief Content Officer has complimented him on what he has been doing, and calls him a “great asset in my career” for the work he has done.
“Pretty much complements what I’m doing already and kind of points me in the right direction. So, he’s been a great asset in my career so far, and I’m grateful,” Omos added.
Omos: I’m Ready To Stand Out By Myself
Omos is ready to have a run as a singles wrestler on his own for the first time.
He recently appeared on a Patreon exclusive Q&A for Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast (H/T to Fightful for the transcription). He spoke about the evolution of his character, revealing what he learnd from people like MVP and AJ Styles.
“I think it’s evolved a lot. I started off as AJ’s heater and then went on to do my own thing. Then I got a manager with MVP. He was kind of like my Bobby Heenan in that type of way,” Omos said. “I think now I’m ready to be on my own and stand as a performer by myself. I’ve learned so much from both of them.”
“With AJ it was figuring out the basics as a performer, knowing how to be a giant. Then MVP was like understanding how to have a presence in the ring. And just the little things differentiate. For example, knowing how to sell in a way that doesn’t feel robotic. MVP pointed out to me. ‘Hey, you want to make it feel more natural when you sell,’ just the little intangibles. I’m giving him the mic, he’ll cut his promo as a heel. Then he would give me the mic, like, ‘Finish it off.’
“Getting the comfort of speaking out in front of the crowd. All the house shows that I did last year, I think that actually helped me a lot in my growth and I think going forward, I am ready for whatever is thrown at me.”
