As WWE gears up for its annual draft, one prominent absence from the draft pools has caught fans’ attention. Omos, known as the Nigerian Giant, seems to be nowhere on the radar for both SmackDown and RAW drafts. With the roster shake-up imminent, Omos’s absence raises questions about his future brand affiliation.
Last seen competing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown before WrestleMania, Omos has been notably absent from television for months. Despite sporadic appearances mainly at house shows, he’s notably absent from draft considerations.
MuscleManMalcolm highlighted this absence, noting Omos’s absence from the draft pool. Last year, Omos was a free agent during the draft, able to appear on any brand. However, recent times have seen him mostly on house show circuits, seldom on TV screens.
Injured Braun Strowman’s Experience with Omos
Injured former Universal Champion Braun Strowman shared insights into his experience working with Omos at Crown Jewel 2022. Recalling their match, Strowman marveled at Omos’s immense stature, admitting to rarely encountering someone larger.

Strowman emphasized Omos’s physical presence, labeling him as “one big, bad S.O.B.” Reflecting on his own size, Strowman admitted humorously that Omos’s sheer enormity made him feel dwarfed in comparison.
With Braun Strowman slated for potential selection in the upcoming WWE Draft, fans await news on his return. As for Omos, his mysterious absence from the draft pool leaves fans speculating on his future and brand allegiance.
