Brock Lesnar is as tough as nails. It is not uncommon to see him rag-doll opponents who tower over him. After all, he is irrefutably the most formidable wrestling personality in sports entertainment. While Lesnar’s imposing bodily appearance sparks fear in the hearts of men, he was pitted against a rising WWE star, Omos, who is way bigger than him, earlier this year at WrestleMania.
But the disparity in size kept Lesnar from taking Omos to the Suplex city. During a recent interview, Omos looked back on his WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar and showered praise on the Beast Incarnate.

On paper, fans did not consider Omos an ideal opponent for Brock Lesnar in the lead-up to WrestleMania 39. But it would be a travesty to think Omos was undeserving of the opportunity, as he is a prodigy of The Undertaker.
During the battle of the behemoths, Omos gained an advantage early on. But soon enough, Lesnar found a way to rein the giant in. Ultimately, Lesnar hoisted the 7 feet 3 Nigerian up and delivered a devastating F5 for the win. While speaking with The Daily Mail, Omos praised Brock Lesnar for his in-ring acumen.
In addition, he stated that Brock Lesnar is under-appreciated, though he is a sure-fire future Hall of Famer. According to Omos, Brock Lesnar is a very “talented worker”, but he does not get the “credit he deserves. ”
He said, “I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. He’s such an amazing and talented worker. He has figured out this business to the core. From his facial expressions to his physicality to his selling. He gets it. Most importantly, he understands his role depending on where he’s put. He has such awareness, and that’s the person he is. ”
Furthermore, Omos also revealed that he felt comfortable working with Lesnar. The 29-year-old recalled asking Lesnar for advice on how to prepare for their match, to which the latter replied, “Don’t worry.”
Whether Lesnar is given enough credit or not, he is unrivaled in terms of dominance in WWE. Omos described his reaction after learning that he would be working a program with the 45-year-old wrestling legend.
Omos was surprised when he was asked to call out Brock Lesnar
Ahead of WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar faced Bobby Lashley in a grudge match at the Elimination Chamber. The duo capped off their rivalry, with Lashley taking the win via disqualification. On Raw after Elimination Chamber, Omos found himself without an opponent for WrestleMania.

And so, Omos was getting ready to leave the premises for a haircut, but a backstage producer relayed to him that he and MVP were going to call out Brock Lesnar. The moment Omos heard he was getting involved with Lesnar, he went “blank”.
He said, “The moment they said that I just go blank. They keep talking and I couldn’t hear a word they said. They asked if I was OK, I said, ‘Yes, did you just say Brock Lesnar?” He said yes. I said, ‘No, THE Brock Lesnar? Woah’!”
Nevertheless, Brock Lesnar recently made his return and reignited his feud with Cody Rhodes.
