Omos Facts
- Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Omos went to the United States on a scholarship when he was about 15 years old. His family stayed in Nigeria though he had an older brother who was living in the American state of Indiana.
- About 5 years later, in 2014, he had an opportunity to meet basketball legend Hakeem Olajuwon while on a trip to Houston, Texas, with his university’s basketball team – the South Florida Bulls. Hakeem, just like Omos, was born to Nigerian (Yoruba) parents in Lagos.
- Since he played college-level basketball until 2016, it came as a shock to many when it was reported in January 2019 that the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) had signed Omos and 6 other athletes to train at the WWE Performance Center, the official professional wrestling school system of the WWE.
- He eventually made his in-ring debut in July 2019 in a house show. A house show is a professional wrestling event produced by a major promotion that is not televised, although it may be recorded.
- In 2022, Omos was ranked 120th in the PWI 500, an annual list of the 500 best professional wrestlers in the world, published by Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine.
- A polyglot, he is fluent in English, French, and his native Yoruba language.
- Omos is a melophile and loves hip-hop music – a genre of popular music that originated in the Bronx borough of New York City in the early 1970s.
