WWE giant says he's ready to dominate Japan

Former RAW Tag Team Champion Omos is preparing for his in-ring return in Japan, announcing ambitious plans during Pro Wrestling NOAH’s December 27 press conference. The Nigerian Giant will challenge for championship gold at NOAH’s The New Year 2025 event on January 1.

Partnering with Jack Morris, Omos is set to face the formidable duo of Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura for the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. During the press event, NOAH officials confirmed his addition to the Team 2000x stable, marking a significant shift in his career trajectory.

I want to leave my mark on this country as a giant. (If I win), I’ll aim for more titles.

The 7-foot superstar’s presence has already made waves in Japan, with NOAH releasing viral content highlighting his imposing stature in various Japanese settings. His last significant WWE appearance came at Backlash 2023, where he faced Seth Rollins.

Triple H considering strategic move amid SmackDown tensions

Recent developments on SmackDown have raised concerns about Kevin Owens’ increasingly volatile behavior. Following attacks on Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, speculation has grown about potential protective measures for General Manager Nick Aldis.

Sources indicate Triple H might consider deploying Omos, whose previous experience as Shane McMahon’s RAW Underground enforcer makes him a compelling candidate for the role. The Nigerian Giant’s extended absence from WWE television since April 2024 could set the stage for a dramatic return.

The situation stems from Owens’ controversial actions at Saturday Night’s Main Event, including a physical confrontation with Triple H. His recent cryptic message on SmackDown has only intensified speculation about potential future targets within WWE management.

NOAH’s The New Year 2025 event will also feature WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura competing against Ulka Sasaki, adding further international flavor to the card.
