Omos opens up about his preparation for WrestleMania match
WWE Superstar Omos recently spoke about how he felt heading into his first singles match at The Showcase of the Immortals against Bobby Lashley.
On the March 28 edition of RAW, Omos defeated The Viking Raiders in a Handicap match and claimed that he was invincible. The Colossus was interrupted by Lashley, who wanted to prove him wrong. Bobby took on the 27-year-old star at WrestleMania 38, where the former came out on top.
During an appearance on the Out of Character podcast with Ryan Satin, the former RAW Tag Team Champion stated how he was ready to step out of AJ Styles' shadow. Omos also highlighted that he is focused on being a singles competitor.
"All of the emotions, everything, it was a surreal moment. Like okay, they love you, this is your time. This is your time to step out of AJ's shadow and truly be, truly set yourself as a main stay in the WWE Universe." (30:52 - 31:07)
When asked about his plans to dominate someone like Lashley, the seven-foot-tall star jokingly said that there was no comparison to be made.
"C’mon man, look at me , look at Bobby. That's a no brainer (laughs)." (31:20 - 31:25)
