10 WWE & AEW Wrestlers Poised To Break Out In 2022
7. Omos
One of the best known of Vince McMahon's sports entertainment preferences is his penchant for big men. At 7' 3" tall and 400 lbs, this makes Omos a shoe-in for success in WWE. In short, Omos is an attraction.
Though the fandom seldom gives WWE creative any praise, teaming the wrestling rookie Omos with AJ Styles, one of the best wrestlers on the planet, was inspired booking. It helped make fans care about Omos beyond the initial wow moment induced by his gargantuan size. Not only did he make his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37, he also became one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions on that night. The split between AJ and Omos was sudden and the breakdown had more mileage, but perhaps AJ's rub had done all it could for Omos' ascent.
Omos is currently booked in classic big man territory, racking up victims in blink and you'll miss them squash matches. He recently took out Reggie in less than 30 seconds, and will likely continue to plough through 24/7 Title chasers, teasing up to larger targets, established athletes, and championship gold.
The near future should see Omos' size 16 boots stomping all over the main roster competition.
