Omos discusses his relationship with The Undertaker.
In the past, Undertaker has frequently praised Omos, often saying that he believes that 'The Nigerian Giant' could have a big future in WWE.
Omos has also had great things to say about Undertaker, even naming him as a dream WrestleMania opponent back in 2024.
In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Omos recalled meeting Undertaker for the first time and being a little star-struck.
“I’ve been blessed from the first day. I remember the first time I met him. I was at NXT, this is when we were still filming at Full Sail. I’m walking to Gorilla in the back, and I see Hunter. Hunter goes, ‘Hey, I have a special surprise for you.’ He [Undertaker] just walks out, and I rarely get star-struck. I just go oh it’s The Undertaker! He goes, ‘Hey big fella’, and he just gave me a big hug. I was shocked. I was shook. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and from that day it just became like a bond. He’s pretty much like, because he can’t be my dad, sorry Taker, but he’s been such a great influence on me, and I appreciate him. We talk quite often. He gives me advice. Whenever I’m trying to figure out a match or a spot, I always ask, What would Undertaker do? Because I do admire how he’s been able to transcend the business, because he has built one of those characters that, even after he passes, that character is going to be forever.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Omos revealed that he pitched his run in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
