Omos made a strong impression in WWE with his massive size and powerful presence. However, WWE hasn’t used him frequently, and now it seems that some people in the company even tried to have him fired.
Omos joined WWE in January 2019 and rose to prominence in 2020 when he teamed up with AJ Styles. Their partnership led to a RAW Tag Team Championship win at WrestleMania 37. After that success, Omos made occasional TV appearances, including a notable performance at the Royal Rumble earlier this year.
While speaking on the Lame Guys Podcast, Bobby Lashley revealed that some people in WWE wanted Omos fired when he first started. Omos accidentally hurt a few wrestlers in the ring, and Lashley wasn’t surprised by this because of his huge size and strength, stating that even he looked like a child in front of Omos.
The Almighty noted that some talent complained to WWE management to make Omos look bad, hoping he’d get fired. Lashley believes he helped Omos improve and turn things around, and soon enough, people started appreciating him more.
“I’m taking the credit for Omos, you know. Everybody else will too because he started turning things around after that. When he first came in, they were going to fire him because he had hurt a couple of people. But I mean, he’s a giant—he even makes me feel like a child.
When he first started, he was wrestling certain people, and some of them were upset, saying things like ‘Gosh dang it,’ yelling at him, and trying to make him look bad to the office. They were even trying to get him fired because he hit them too hard and stuff like that.”
Bobby Lashley also recently advocated for WWE to use Omos more on television as he feels Omos is far too talented to not be used. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see if WWE will have anything substantial planned for Omos somewhere down the line, as Bobby Lashley feels Omos deserves better.
