The announcement of the match came as a shock to the WWE Universe as there was no build-up ahead of it. Fans were surprised when they learned about the match, and Omos was no different.
While in conversation with the Daily Mail, Omos spoke about his big match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. He said that he didn't expect to be working on that day and was on his way out when the news was broken to him.
"That whole story is insane. It was the night after Elimination Chamber and we had Raw in Ottawa. I wasn’t on the show and I was going to do what I was supposed to do, drive back to Montreal to fly home. I was going to get a haircut and one of our producers said whatever you do, don’t go anywhere. I was on the show, but not a match, a backstage. They said it was a backstage with MVP and you guys are going to call out Brock."
The Nigerian Giant went on to further explain the state of shock he was in when he was told about the match.
'The moment they said that I just go blank. They keep talking and I couldn’t hear a word they said. They asked if I was OK, I said, "Yes, did you just say Brock Lesnar?" He said yes. I said, "No, THE Brock Lesnar? Woah, OK."
