Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell, also known as Zeb Colter, has raised eyebrows with his candid comments on Omos’ puzzling absence from TV programming. The Nigerian Giant, a towering figure in the WWE, has been conspicuously missing from our screens since his loss to Seth Rollins at Backlash 2023. Despite being a prominent face on the live circuit, where he continues to hone his in-ring skills, Omos has only made a handful of TV appearances, all of which were multi-men Battle Royals.
Speaking on Wrestling’s SmackTalk episode, Dutch Mantell voiced his concerns about Omos’ lack of screen time, suggesting that the giant wrestler is essentially “getting paid to do nothing.” This harsh assessment has sparked debate among wrestling fans, who are eager to see more of the towering superstar.
Mantell’s comments come as Omos’ TV appearances have become increasingly scarce. His last televised match was at the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which took place on SmackDown before WrestleMania 40. The bout was eventually won by Bronson Reed, leaving many to wonder when Omos would return to the spotlight.
Dutch Mantell’s remarks have ignited a firestorm of speculation about Omos’ future in the WWE. With the Nigerian Giant’s impressive stature and undeniable charisma, fans are clamoring to see more of him on their screens. But as Mantell so bluntly put it, “getting paid to do nothing” is hardly a viable long-term solution for a talent of Omos’ caliber.
As the WWE continues to navigate its ever-shifting terrain, one thing is certain: Omos’ absence has left a noticeable void in professional wrestling. Only time will tell if the Nigerian Giant will reclaim his rightful place in the spotlight, or if his TV drought will continue to confound and disappoint fans.
