WWE News: Promotion reportedly eyeing blockbuster return for Brock Lesnar's former nemesis

WWE appears to be gearing up for another major surprise, as reports suggest the company is seriously considering bringing back a towering superstar who has been absent from television for an extended period.

WWE riding momentum after Brock Lesnar’s shock return

Following the electrifying return of Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2025, WWE is looking to keep the excitement alive. The promotion reportedly aims to deliver more headline-worthy moments in upcoming premium live events, ensuring fans remain hooked.

The spotlight now shifts to Triplemania XXXIII, set to take place on August 16th at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico. This will be the first Triplemania under WWE’s banner since its high-profile acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) on April 19th, making it a landmark event in the wrestling calendar.

Omos’ name resurfaces in AAA discussions

According to the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio, the name generating the most buzz is Omos. Known as The Nigerian Giant, Omos has been largely absent from WWE programming since his appearance in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the April 5, 2024 episode of SmackDown.

“In a follow-up from news a few weeks ago, we can report that Omos’ name has once again surfaced in AAA discussions, with one source suggesting he could very well appear this weekend at Triplemania,” the report stated.

If the rumors are true, this could mark a monumental comeback for the imposing 7-foot-3 competitor, whose sheer size and presence make him a unique attraction in WWE.

A look back at Omos’ WWE journey

Omos’ last singles match came at Backlash 2023, where he went toe-to-toe with Seth “Freakin’” Rollins, ultimately falling short. He also made an appearance in the SummerSlam Battle Royal that same year and participated in the 2024 Royal Rumble.

Following these appearances, Omos primarily wrestled at non-televised house shows, including stops during the Road to WrestleMania live event series. More recently, he embarked on a wrestling excursion in Japan, competing for Pro Wrestling NOAH—a stint that has likely sharpened his in-ring skills and added new dimensions to his persona.

Could Triplemania mark his grand return?

If Omos steps back into the WWE spotlight at Triplemania XXXIII, it would not only be a huge boost for the event but also signal WWE’s continued commitment to cross-promotional spectacles. Fans are already speculating about potential matchups, with many eager to see how The Nigerian Giant fares after his international run.

With WWE riding high on surprise returns, Omos’ re-emergence could be the next big moment that sends shockwaves through the wrestling world.
