Veteran Predicts “Big-Time Money” Potential for Omos Storyline
Published August 20, 2025 (reported by Sportskeeda), Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell shared exclusive insights suggesting a compelling future for WWE star Omos following his surprising return at AAA Triplemanía XXXIII.
Surprise Return and Dramatic Moment
At the major AAA event, now under WWE ownership, Omos made a stunning entrance by tossing Microman over the top rope during the Copa Bardahl match. This unexpected yet dramatic moment instantly grabbed fans’ attention.
Dutch Mantell’s Vision
On the UnSKripted podcast, Mantell elaborated on the theatrical potential of the giant-versus-little-guy dynamic:
“I think there is big time money with the Giant and the little guy. Just have him come up … and tell the story and don’t lay hands on him … And then the little midget says, ‘I never forgot the way he threw me over the top rope … but I have been thinking deeply.’”
His suggestion emphasizes the emotional storytelling power of such a feud, no physical confrontation necessary, just layered narration and character contrast.
Hints from WWE Merchandise and Strategic Positioning
Further clues about Omos’s next chapter emerged from merchandise. WWE recently introduced a new T-shirt featuring Omos, describing him as towering over AAA’s roster “like a skyscraper.” Interestingly, the nickname “Nigerian Giant” was dropped; he’s now simply billed as “The Giant.” This shift, plus promotional focus on AAA, implies that Omos may remain a key figure in WWE’s lucha libre-style programming.
In summary:
Omos’s appearance at Triplemanía XXXIII, especially his toss of Microman, sparked creative buzz.
Dutch Mantell envisions a rich non-violent storyline capitalizing on contrast and narrative.
Merchandise and WWE branding signal a continued focus on Omos, potentially in AAA content, with an elevated, streamlined persona as “The Giant.”
