“A Gentle Giant”: 7ft 4in WWE Star Returns Home First Time in 14 Years, Fans Shower Love

Wrestling fans have always been fond of gigantic wrestlers. They have an aura around which is unmatched by normal-sized performers. Giants from yesteryears like André the Giant, Giant Gonzalez, and Kane have always captured the undivided attention of the fans. There has been a giant in recent times whose stars have been on the rise since the start of his WWE career.

WWE superstar Omos has been a force to reckon with ever since his main roster debut in 2020. He has gone on to impress everyone with his sheer size and brute force. The humongous wrestler recently oversaw a dominant performance in the WWE Crown Jewel event.

Clashing against the Monster Of All Monsters, Braun Strowman, Omos held his own and shocked everyone with his ringwork and agile movement. Something which is generally not associated with a man his size. He has always been associated with a manager or wrestler in his WWE career. First with AJ Styles and later on with MVP.

Omos has shone with his ring-work

But in the absence of his manager at the annual event, Omos looked much more of a menace as he got to show what he can achieve on his own. He eventually lost to Strowman in the battle of giants. But his towering performance did not go unnoticed as fans were left awe-struck. 

His displays at the event have added to an already growing global fandom. The Nigerian-born wrestler has been an accomplished basketball player since his college days. And he’s now starting to build upon that promise in his wrestling career as well. He has been able to crush through any challenges that have been thrown at him by dominating the roster consistently.

Built with an amazing 7ft 4inches height and weighing 416 pounds, he is among the few giants that the promotion has on its hands currently. And WWE, to their credit, has used the Nigerian Giant’s talents well until this point. He only has two losses to his name, against The Almighty Bobby Lashley and now Strowman. However, his rising popularity has made it clear that he is here to stay.

Omos visits his homeland after WWE Crown Jewel

A downside of his rising career has been an inability to visit his family and friends in his home country, Nigeria. He set out to right that wrong as he visited his family after a long and arduous 14 years. Footage of his recent visit to his home recently did rounds on social media and fans couldn’t keep calm witnessing the emotional moment. The fans took to social media to let their feelings known.

These are some of the top comments from Omos’ fans.

A win that he’ll cherish forever!

A hard-fought battle.

Can’t even imagine.

Visiting his homeland after so long would no doubt have rejuvenated Omos. Having impressed one and all with his recent heroics in the squared circle, Omos would be hoping to hone his skills a notch higher. And with a sizable amount of fan following now by his side, there seems no challenge too big for the Nigerian Giant.
