The ‘Nigerian Giant’ Omos has been dubbed one of the tallest WWE stars in history, but how tall actually is he?
Who Is Omos?
Omos, birth name Tolulope Omogbehin, is a 28-year-old former college basketball player from Lagos, Nigeria who officially signed with WWE in January 2019.
Prior to signing with WWE, he played basketball for the University of South Florida and Morgan State University.
WWE signed him to a developmental contract in January 2019, and he stayed in WWE’s developmental system, NXT, until June 2020.

He never actually appeared on NXT TV – and in fact only had six official matches on record – before making his first main roster appearance at Backlash 2020 as the ‘Giant Ninja’ aligned with Akira Tozawa.
He was soon repackaged as the bouncer for Shane McMahon’s Raw Underground until that concept was scrapped in October 2020.
He was then reintroduced as the bodyguard for AJ Styles. For a while, he didn’t even have a name, but after a number of weeks, he was officially named ‘Omos’.
The duo won the Raw Tag Team Championship together on night one of WrestleMania 37 in April 2021, and held the title for 132 days before losing it to RK-Bro at SummerSlam 2021.

Omos outlasted 24 other men at Survivor Series 2021 that November to become the winner of The Rock’s 25th Anniversary Battle Royal, last eliminating Ricochet.
He and Styles officially broke up as a duo in December 2021, and the Nigerian was a solo act for a number of months.
After Omos lost to Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022, Lashley’s former manager MVP turned on Lashley and instead became Omos’ manager, with their partnership remaining intact to this day.
He was most recently a participant in the 2022 men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, which was won by Theory.

How Tall Is Omos?
WWE bills Omos as standing 7’3″ tall, and weighing 403 pounds.
His official Morgan State University profile from the 2014-2015 season lists him as legitimately standing at 7’3″, but his weight, at least the time, was 315 pounds.
What Are His Achievements In WWE?
- Raw Tag Team Champion (with AJ Styles / 132 days / WrestleMania 37 Night 1 – SummerSlam 2021)
- The Rock Memorial Battle Royal Winner (Survivor Series 2021)
