UNDERTAKER, Great Khali and Braun Strowman are all monsters that have dominated WWE in recent times… but now there is a new giant in town.
The company’s NXT developmental brand handed a debut to the humongous Jordan Omogbehin, 28, in 2016.
And the 7ft 3in colossus made quite the impression as he dominated TWO OPPONENTS on his winning bow.
Omos performs on Raw and made his name as a bodyguard of AJ Styles.
The pair even won gold as they enjoyed a great run as WWE Raw Tag Team Titles.
Now after deciding to go under the tutelage of MVP, he has secured a monster bout for WrestleMania 39 against the legendary Brock Lesnar.
Omos, a former University of South Florida and Morgan State basketball player, gave fans a glimpse of what they can expect when he dwarfed 'The Beast' and manhandled him during two recent episodes on Raw.
The big man was born in Lagos, Nigeria but played high school basketball in the States after moving to Virginia.
After quitting the court, the towering behemoth was snapped up by NXT founder and wrestling legend Triple H.
He began honing his skills at the WWE Performance Centre in Florida and was finally handed an opportunity to impress in front of a a worldwide audience when he joined forces with Styles in 2021.

Now he will be hoping to claim the biggest victory of his career to date against Lesnar and write his name into WrestleMania folklore.
However, despite his towering frame, Omos is still only THIRD on the all-time list of tallest WWE superstars.
Giant Gonzalez, real name Jorge Gonzalez and who had spells in both WCW and WWE, tops the list.
The icon, who died in 2010 aged 44, stood a ginormous EIGHT FEET TALL!
That even dwarfed the legendary late, great Andre ‘The Giant’ – who was only a mere 7ft 4in in comparison.
And the Big Show, who is now with the AEW, is a baby compared to those big boys.
The 51-year-old former world champion, real name Paul Wight, stands at just seven feet.
