10 WWE Stars Who Have Gone AWOL

Towering giant Omos is the kind of worker Vince McMahon looks at and gets dizzy. Physical size guaranteed the big guy a good few chances to succeed in WWE, but Triple H can't see Omos the same way his "pops" did. After all, the 'Nigerian Giant' has been conspicuous by his absence for much of the year.

He's done next to nothing since losing to Brock Lesnar in less than five minutes back at WrestleMania 39. Was that the natural end of Omos' push in the promotion? A spot in the SummerSlam battle royal did offer a reprieve, but it was short lived before the monster disappeared from TV again.

Omos has become a house show attraction on the midcard, but that's about it. Here's the problem: He's never going to become the huge deal WWE wanted him to the longer he's off shows like Raw or SmackDown. Meh, maybe the "Diesel spot" in January's Rumble will rekindle his hopes.

Something has to.
