WWE giant Omos – real name Jordan Omogbehin – is a formidable presence, and he’s looking to reclaim gold at Crown Jewel.

AJ Styles and his hulking partner – who defeated The New Day for the Raw Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 37 – are looking to kickstart their second reign with the titles as they face Riddle and Randy Orton in Saudi Arabia.

The company has made all the right moves with Omos so far, building him as a special attraction who could be a real force heading towards the end of 2021 and into 2022.

The reaction when he faced off with Bobby Lashley recently was a sign of things to come, and Triple H

Omos looked like an absolute beast as Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston’s attacks just bounced off him before he went on the offence and won the gold for himself at the Phenomenal One.

At the moment, WWE is making all the right moves and he looks on track to be a real force on WWE television in 2021 and beyond.

The towering man first appeared in the summer of 2020 behind a mask as Akira Tozawa’s Giant Ninja, before being seen alongside Shane McMahon as the Raw Underground bouncer, and most recently as AJ Styles’ tag team partner.

It’s been an unusual way to introduce a rising star, but WWE clearly wants to get him some experience as he’s been a pretty constant presence on the red brand alongside a true veteran.

Now going by the name Omos, the man is actually former NXT developmental star Jordan Omogbehin, who stands at an incredible 7ft 3in tall.

The 26-year-old former basketball player was signed up by NXT boss Triple H in 2018, and ever since he has been honing his craft at the Performance Center.

The signs were always there, as the Giant Ninja’s Raw debut saw him go face to face with legendary superstar the Big Show earlier last year.

The landscape of WWE has changed, meaning Omogbehin really does stand head and shoulders above everyone else on the roster.

Shockingly though, his billed height only puts him third on the list of the company’s resident giants.

While Kane, Big Cass and Big Show himself stand at 7ft tall, The Great Khali gets a spot in the top five by an inch.

Similarly, 7ft 2in Giant Silva falls just short (ahem) of Omogbehin, who is only behind Andre The Giant (7ft 4in) and Giant Gonzalez (8ft) in the billed rankings.

It should be noted, WWE – and the wrestling world in general – is known to exaggerate some heights, meaning the latter was actually only a measly 7ft 7in…
