Expressing himself in his native language, Yoruba, he said: “I grew up in Ketu, Alapere, which is just down the street. I went to Maryland private school. This is my home. I remember going to school and getting on the bus by 6am and coming back home.

“My primary school is around here and to think that I am here in a press conference to announce the search for Africa’s next WWE superstar is amazing.

“It is amazing that I am coming back home with WWE.”

Known as the WWE’s Nigerian giant and standing at an incredible 7ft. 3 inches, Omos has managed to establish himself as one of the most intimidating superstars in the industry.
