His matches initially featured simple big-man power moves. He is a guy who can come out and put over the next giant, and that might be what Omogbehin needs.ĭuring his training in NXT, Omogbehin was a work-in-progress, but he has been there for over a year now. While WWE could have left the appearance as a one-off appearance at Backlash, the fact that Omogbehin came out the next night and WWE brought back its long-time giant in Big Show is a sign that creative may be ready to move with the big guy. The former WWE champion, who himself stands 6'10", also looked tiny next to Omogbehin. In a workout last November with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in NXT, Omogbehin caught the attention of Nash, who said that this is not "Oz 2" in his eyes at all, (Oz being the ill-fated and ridiculous character Nash portrayed when he was a youngster in WCW). He is two inches taller than The Great Khali, and he can do things that Khali only dreamed of doing. The ninja is NXT superstar Jordan Omogbehin, and he stands 7 foot 3 inches tall: the biggest superstar in WWE. If that had happened, fans would have seen how big this man is. Fans never got a chance to see the seven-foot-tall Big Show standing face-to-face with the ninja. That's when Tozawa took his big ninja and left. until the surprise return of the Big Show. When the big ninja came in, things looked like they were breaking down.
The match saw the three smaller ninjas and Tozawa compete, and they were no match for the Street Profits and Viking Raiders. On Monday Night Raw, the Street Profits and Viking Raiders decided they should team up as their own cinematic universe, with t-shirts, toys and more, but they then had to face the ninjas again. RELATED: WWE: The Year Backlash Had The REAL WrestleMania Main Event It included a ton of strange moments, including references to Marvel Comics and Star Wars, but the weirdest had to be when they had to team up to battle Akira Tozawa and his ninjas. Instead, the two teams battled in a cinematic match backstage and throughout the WWE Performance Center.
At WWE Backlash, the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship match between Viking Raiders and The Street Profits never happened.
