Summary
- Omos has revealed he recently signed a new long-term deal with WWE.
- This comes 14 months after Omos wrestled his last match for the company.
- Fans will likely be wondering why Omos is being kept around when Superstars who perform more regularly are being let go.
Following the R-Truth debacle and Carlito and Sarah Logan being told they won’t be getting new deals, it’s probably pretty tense right now backstage in WWE with Superstars approaching the ends of their contracts, nervous they might not be kept around. One man who doesn’t need to be nervous is Omos as, despite having been missing from WWE TV for more than a year, he just signed a new deal.
Omos Has Signed A New Long-Term Contract With WWE
Omos shared that he has committed his future to WWE with GamblingIndustryNews. “I’ve been training really hard and working on some new things, and I think it’s going to be a really fun ride ahead, especially because I just signed a renewal with WWE and will be there for years to come,” Omos revealed.

Why Omos Hasn’t Been Seen In WWE, Explained
Omos is one of WWE’s biggest giants in recent history, but he is barely ever seen on TV.
Exactly how long Omos’s new deal will run for isn’t clear, but the giant WWE Superstar implied it’s a long one via the “years to come” comment included in the reveal. Omos began competing on WWE’s main roster in 2021 after a short stint in NXT. It’s possible that a five-year deal he signed when he made the step up was nearing its end, and that, through fear of losing him, WWE renewed his contract long before it was due to expire, an option that wasn’t available to Carlito, Logan, and until the fans kicked up a fuss, R-Truth.
Omos Hasn’t Competed In WWE For 14 Months
One of the running jokes among fans when Truth revealed the news he was effectively being released by WWE was how he can’t keep a job there when Omos can, although, for most, it probably wasn’t a joke. While it’s not Omos’s fault, the man is just trying to make a living, and if WWE offers him a contract, he’s going to sign it. The timing of his contract renewal just isn’t going to sit well with a lot of fans.
Aside from his limited ability in the ring, which he has, as he points out, been working on in the time since we last saw him, it has been well over a year since we last saw Omos compete in a WWE ring. While he wrestled a handful of matches for NOAH in Japan earlier this year, the last time Omos wrestled for WWE was in the Andre the Giant battle royale during WrestleMania 40 weekend, more than 14 months ago.
WWE has plans for Omos; otherwise they wouldn’t have re-signed him. What those plans are, however, remains unclear. If the company wants to avoid upsetting fans even more than it has done already during the last few weeks, it will want to demonstrate why exactly it thinks Omos is worthy of a new deal when others aren’t.
