The Great Khali, Braun Strowman, and the legendary Undertaker are three monsters who have recently dominated WWE with their huge personalities.

However, a new colossus has arrived in town - Jordan Omogbehin, affectionately known as Omos.

Although he joined WWE in 2018, it wasn't until 2019 that he made his NXT in-ring debut by dominating two opponents on his winning bow.

How Omos' career started

Omogbehin was born in Lagos, Nigeria, on May 16, 1994. Although he has an older sibling who resides in Indiana, he relocated to the United States on a scholarship when he was only fifteen years old, leaving his family behind in Nigeria.

Omos attended and graduated from the Atlantic Shores Christian School in Chesapeake, Virginia, and played basketball all the way through high school.

His pituitary tumour and gigantism were both identified by university physicians while he was a student in 2012. Without an operation, he would have lost his vision, and possibly suffered a cardiac collapse or a heart attack.

Omos kept playing basketball at the University of South Florida, where he played in the center position.

The towering behemoth then decided to quit the court and Triple H, the founder of NXT and a legendary wrestler, snapped him up.

Omos started honing his abilities at the WWE Performance Center in Florida and in 2021, when he teamed up with AJ Styles, he was eventually given the chance to perform in front of a large international audience.

Omos' WWE debut

The 7' 3" giant was given the name Omos at the 2017 Survivor Series event, where he watched on as Team Raw clinched victory over Team SmackDown in the customary men's 5-on-5 elimination match.

Four years later, he made his WWE debut, with his mere size and power rocking the industry.

Due to his immense stature, the 28-year-old star initially played the role of an enforcer and bodyguard for AJ Styles on Raw.

The pair even enjoyed a run as the Raw Tag Team Champions.

Omos was happy to work in a silent observer role due to his enormous size but later went solo and feuded with Strowman and the 'All Mighty' Bobby Lashley.

The 400-pounder was hoping to cement his place in WrestleMania folklore but stumbled to defeat against the 'Beast Incarnate', Brock Lesnar on Sunday.

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

Despite his towering frame, Omos is still only third on the all-time list of tallest WWE superstars.

The top of the ranking is Giant Gonzalez - whose actual name is Jorge Gonzalez - who had stints in both WCW and WWE.

The legend was an enormous eight feet tall and passed away in 2010 at the age of 44.

That size even dwarfed the legendary late, great Andre ‘The Giant’ - who was only a mere 7ft 4in in comparison.

And the Big Show, who is now with the AEW, is a baby compared to those big boys. The 51-year-old former world champion, real name Paul Wight, stands at just seven feet.

Lesnar manhandles Omos

Sports Brief reported earlier on WWE superstar, Lesnar recording a WrestleMania-sized triumph over Omos with the biggest F-5 of his career.

A brutal heavyweight brawl between the 'Beast Incarnate' and the Nigerian Giant served as the opening match for the event's second night.

Lesnar's first effort at the F-5 was unsuccessful but second time around, the Beast hoisted Omos up and laid the giant out for a three count.
