Omos has made clear that, while he is enjoying his career resurgence in AAA and has developed a deep appreciation for Mexico, a full-time move south of the border is not currently in the cards.
The Nigerian Giant has been working an international schedule that has included a stint in Japan and his recent rise in AAA. His run in Mexico has placed him in a markedly different environment from the one most associated with his earlier career, putting one of wrestling’s largest athletes in front of lucha libre audiences and alongside a roster built around a distinct in-ring tradition.
That transition has apparently been a positive one for Omos. He has spoken warmly about Mexican fans and the country itself, while his recent program with Rey Mysterio helped establish him as a major presence at the top of the AAA roster. Still, enjoying a place and deciding to make it home are different matters, particularly when family commitments are involved.
Speaking on the Complex Graps podcast, Omos confirmed that he continues to fly in for AAA tapings rather than maintaining a permanent base in Mexico. Asked whether he could see himself getting a place there, he said he would consider it under different circumstances.

“I would, but you know, as a married man and you know, my wife being based here, I don’t think that’s quite possible at this moment in time. But probably in the future, maybe something I would think about.”
Omos did not close the door on the idea altogether. Instead, his answer framed a potential move as something that may be worth revisiting later, should his personal and professional circumstances allow for it. For now, the practical arrangement is clear: he will travel to Mexico for AAA commitments while remaining based where his wife is located.
His comments also underline that his enthusiasm for AAA is not simply a matter of convenience or a short-term novelty. Omos described Mexico in glowing terms during the conversation.
“It’s a beautiful place. It’s a very beautiful place.”
Omos finding a place in AAA
A wrestler of Omos’ size naturally creates a dramatic visual contrast in virtually any promotion. In AAA, that contrast is especially pronounced. Lucha libre has long been associated with speed, aerial offense, masks, shifting momentum, and inventive combinations between wrestlers of varying styles. Omos brings a different kind of spectacle: a towering, physically imposing obstacle who can alter the entire rhythm of a match merely by entering it.
That does not mean the styles are incompatible. Omos addressed the question of working his big-man approach in lucha libre and dismissed the notion that language or regional wrestling conventions present an insurmountable issue. In his view, the fundamentals of performing and competing inside the ring travel across borders.
“It’s not as difficult as you would think, because at the end of the day, wrestling is a universal language, and if you know how to wrestle you can wrestle pretty much [wrestle] anybody across the world, whether or not they speak English.”
The sentiment is particularly relevant to Omos’ current international chapter. The language spoken outside the ring may change from country to country, but wrestlers rely on physical communication, timing, positioning, experience, and trust once a match begins. Those elements matter in every style, even when the pace, presentation, and audience expectations differ.
For a performer like Omos, adapting does not necessarily require abandoning what makes him distinctive. His size and power remain central to his identity. The challenge is finding ways for those qualities to complement the movement and creativity of opponents whose offense may be built around speed and agility. His comments suggest he sees that challenge as manageable because the essential principles of wrestling remain familiar regardless of geography.
A main-event presence after Rey Mysterio feud
Omos’ position in AAA has been strengthened by his feud with Rey Mysterio, one of the most recognizable names connected to lucha libre anywhere in the world. The rivalry placed Omos opposite a wrestler whose career has been defined by an entirely different physical profile and in-ring approach.
That contrast is one of professional wrestling’s most reliable building blocks. A giant facing a smaller, faster opponent gives audiences an immediately understandable conflict before either wrestler has to say a word. With Omos and Mysterio, the size difference is impossible to ignore, while the wider setting adds another layer: Mysterio’s association with Mexican wrestling culture against a dominant visiting force who has embraced the chance to work in AAA.
The program helped cement Omos as a main-event-level figure in the promotion. Being positioned near the top of a roster is meaningful for any wrestler, but it carries added importance for someone navigating a new promotional landscape and a different audience. It signals that the promotion sees value in his presentation and that his presence can be used in major stories.
There is no indication in Omos’ remarks that he is planning to step away from AAA. Quite the opposite, his willingness to continue flying to tapings shows that he remains committed to making the appearances required of him. He may not be relocating, but he is not treating Mexico as a distant stop on a schedule either.
International experience shaping Omos’ current run
Omos’ time in AAA follows a stint in Japan, adding further experience to an increasingly international résumé. Working across different countries can demand adjustments beyond the matches themselves. Travel, customs, locker-room communication, local fan expectations, and the structure of television and live events can all vary significantly.
His perspective that wrestling is a universal language speaks to the value of that exposure. The statement is not a claim that every environment is identical. Rather, it points to the shared base that allows performers to collaborate despite differences in spoken language and regional custom. A wrestler who understands how to communicate in the ring can work with opponents from a wide range of backgrounds.
For AAA, Omos represents a notable attraction whose presence expands the range of matchups available to the roster. For Omos, the promotion offers a place to test himself in a setting with its own identity and audience. Those two factors can coexist without requiring a permanent relocation.
The reality of an international wrestling career is often that performers spend substantial time away from home. Omos’ response was grounded in that reality. He did not portray moving to Mexico as undesirable; in fact, he repeatedly emphasized how beautiful he finds the country. But he also made clear that marriage and the location of his wife are the deciding factors at present.
No immediate relocation, but no rejection of the idea
Omos’ answer leaves his long-term plans open without creating expectations of an imminent move. At this stage, he continues to fly to AAA tapings. The possibility of eventually maintaining a home in Mexico remains hypothetical, contingent on circumstances changing in the future.
That distinction matters. Admiration for a country does not automatically mean a performer is about to relocate, and Omos was straightforward about why the timing does not work now. His comments were not a declaration of departure from his existing home base. They were an acknowledgment that Mexico has made a strong impression on him, coupled with a practical explanation for why he is not purchasing a place there today.
For fans following his AAA run, the larger takeaway is that Omos remains invested in the opportunity. His recent main-event positioning, his praise for Mexican fans and Mexico itself, and his confidence in adapting his style all point toward a wrestler who is comfortable operating outside a single familiar environment.
Whether a future move ever happens is a question for another time. For now, Omos is continuing to travel to AAA, continuing to embrace the promotion’s setting, and continuing to build on the momentum created by his recent high-profile work with Rey Mysterio. Mexico may not be his permanent home at the moment, but it has clearly become an important part of his current wrestling journey.
