After 266 days away, “WWE giant” returns to ring

Pro Wrestling NOAH announced through their X account that Omos will make his debut with the promotion on January 1, 2025. This appearance stems from the ongoing partnership between WWE and the Japanese wrestling organization.

The former RAW Tag Team Champion has been absent from WWE programming since April 5, 2024, when he participated in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown. Despite his extended absence spanning 266 days, Omos remains under contract with WWE.

The Undertaker recently shared his thoughts on Omos during an episode of his “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway” podcast. The WWE Hall of Famer drew parallels between the 397-pound athlete and Kane, noting similarities with the Big Red Machine.

The arrival of Omos in Pro Wrestling NOAH represents the latest development in the partnership between both companies. This collaboration facilitates talent exchanges, creating opportunities for wrestlers from both organizations to expand their reach and experience.
