A new client for a top advocate; facing the next generation of stars - 5 ways WWE can utilize Omos

The Nigerian Giant Omos hasn't been used much in WWE under Triple H. Along with MVP, Omos was an attraction that was featured regularly on RAW. His limitations were apparent due to his overwhelming size, but he's still athletic for a man of over seven feet.

With the change in creative, some stars were going to be used less or differently. Others would be used more and receive a push they wouldn't have received under Mr. McMahon.

MVP has moved on to AEW, but Omos is still under contract with WWE. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, Triple H could utilize The Nigerian Giant in one of the next five ways.


#5. A face turn to mix in with current acts

As a client of MVP, Omos was primarily a heel obstacle for bigger names to overcome. He battled Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, and Brock Lesnar in spectacle matches. He also won the RAW Tag Team titles with AJ Styles.

Bronson Reed has been running through the RAW roster. Omos could come back to stand in his path. It would allow the giant to play a babyface role and have a new direction. That direction could also be joining Alpha Academy.

They would accept him with open arms and help him move forward. It would also be a way for Omos to try some comedy with Tozawa and Otis.


#4. He goes to NXT for a run

When stars need a reboot or something to do in WWE, they often go to NXT for a brief run. Dijak, Baron Corbin, Apollo Crews, and even Becky Lynch had short tenures in NXT over the last few years.

Omos isn't being used but the landscape across all of WWE's roster has changed. Reed is a bully on RAW while the Bloodline tries to run things on SmackDown. In NXT, Trick Williams is back on top after another predictable angle.

Williams could face his biggest challenge to date (literally) if challenged by Omos. Oba Femi has been booked in the vein of Brock Lesnar and Bron Breakker.

The two Nigerian superstars could face each other in a meat madness showdown. He could even run through Gallus since they like to cause havoc whenever they appear.


#3. Omos is recruited by the Wyatt Sicks

Without MVP, Omos has become a giant without a purpose. He was "abandoned" by booking and his advocate. The Wyatt Sicks could attempt to recruit Omos to their cause. Whether or not he joins them would be the basis for the angle.

He's big enough to fend off multiple attackers and could even "bond" with someone like Nikki Cross or Dexter Lumis. Writers need to find a way to use the unique star but don't need to think too far outside the box.

Certain acts would provide Omos with better opportunities, and the Wyatt Sicks could be an interesting angle for The Nigerian Giant.


#2. Gunther faces a giant challenge

Every feud over a WWE title doesn't need to last three PLE cycles. Heated feuds like those between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk or Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley have enough layers to spread out over a few months.

Gunther will need random challengers on the Road to WrestleMania. He's not defending his title at Crown Jewel but will be on notice after the show. Omos could provide a sturdy challenge for an episode of RAW, Saturday Night's Main Event, or even the Royal Rumble.

WWE may want to save Omos for the Rumble, but he could challenge for the Undisputed Championship as he did when Seth Rollins held the title. Gunther has predominantly faced smaller stars or those of equal size. Omos would be a new challenge.


#1. A new Paul Heyman guy in WWE

When a WWE star not renowned for their mic skills needs some help, he or she is often paired with someone who can do the talking for them.

This worked brilliantly for Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman since Heyman is one of the best promos in wrestling history. Omos is more about his physical presentation rather than his ability to spin a promo like CM Punk or Kevin Owens.

The Wiseman also sells feuds when stars are absent. It would give both Omos and Heyman a new avenue instead of constantly being involved in Bloodline business.
