Omos opens up about his WWE tryout
The Nigerian superstar signed with the wrestling juggernaut in 2019, and he made his main roster debut as 'The Big Ninja.' He was also portrayed as a RAW Underground bodyguard before receiving a push as AJ Styles' tag team partner.
During an appearance on the Out of Character podcast, Omos spoke about his tryout, stating that he trained alongside SmackDown star Ridge Holland and other names.
"They [WWE] just brought me in one day for a tryout. They put me in a class with the guys, I remember. Who was in that class with me? I remember Ridge Holland was in that class specifically. I always say, I think if I had any coaches other than Robbie Brookside and Johnny Moss, I don't think I would have taken this shot," said Omos.

Bobby Lashley is one of the biggest stars in the company right now. The Almighty scored a win over 'The Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble and is the first person to pin Omos. Now that MVP is by the latter's side, it remains to be seen if The Almighty can win again or not.
