Omos Returns at NXT Live Event, Sparks Talk of WWE TV Reintroduction

Omos returned to a WWE ring on Oct. 10, 2025, appearing at an NXT live event at KEMBA Live! in Columbus, Ohio, and wrestling his first match for the company since April 5, 2024. The towering former Raw Tag Team Champion confronted NXT competitor Lexis King, delivered a chokeslam and defeated King in a short, decisive bout; when King demanded an immediate rematch, Omos defeated him a second time. WWE later posted footage of the surprise appearance on its social media accounts.

Omos last worked for WWE in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania weekend in April 2024. After that, he remained under WWE contract but spent much of the intervening period on international assignment. He competed in Japan for Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he was a member of the Team 2000X stable and, with partner Daga, won the GHC Tag Team Championship at the Noah The New Year pay-per-view. On Jan. 25, 2025, he announced he would leave NOAH and handed the GHC Tag Team titles to Daga before they were formally vacated. He later appeared for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, including at Triplemanía XXXIII in August 2025, where he won the event’s Bardahl Cup. WWE acquired AAA earlier in 2025.
