Bobby Lashley Claims People Within WWE Tried To Get Omos Fired

People within WWE tried to get Omos fired, according to Bobby Lashley.

Addressing working with Omos at WrestleMania 38, Lashley said on The Lame Guys Podcast:

"That was cool, that was cool, and I’m taking the credit for Omos. Everybody else will, because he started turning it on after that, because when he first came on, they were gonna fire him because he hurt a couple people. He's a freaking giant. He makes me feel like a child and when he came in there at the beginning, he was wrestling with certain people and there was a couple people like, 'Gosh dang it!' And yelling at him and trying to make him look bad to the office and trying to get him fired because he hit a dude hard and stuff like that.

"So when they put him with me, I was like, 'I'll work with him,' because I understand where he's coming from and I had the mentality of Taker. Taker looked at somebody like him saying, 'I wanna work with that guy.' Some of these guys are like, 'I wanna work with my buddy because we can make a cool match, we can do cool stuff.' Man, you gotta overcome obstacles. That's what wrestling is about, and I was like, he's an obstacle for me. Not too many people are but he is an obstacle for me. He's bigger, stronger - well, I don't know about stronger (Lashley laughed). He's bigger."

Omos remains signed with WWE but his long-term future with the company is currently up in the air as he has hardly been on WWE TV since May 2023. Omos hasn't been used by the organisation at all since April when he worked the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the go-home edition of SmackDown before WrestleMania 40.

Rumours in the Summer suggested WWE had given up on Omos and Bobby Lashley doubts the company will ever bring the 'Nigerian Giant' back to TV.
