Omos might be heading to Japan.
Pro Wrestling Noah is set to present The New Year 2025 special from Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan on January 1. One of the matches on the card is Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura defending the GHC World Tag Team Championships.
Jack Morris has been confirmed as one of the challengers for the tag titles but his partner has been kept a mystery. Morris has promised that he’d bring ‘the biggest X in history’ to challenge the current champions.
This surprise was apparently spoiled by the promotion as Omos when they accidentally added the current WWE star to their official roster page early:
Update: NOAH has since official confirmed Omos’s debut for the New Year special:
WWE US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura will also be appearing on the show, competing against 35-year-old Ulka Sasaki in a singles match.
Omos was regularly featured on WWE TV under the Vince McMahon administration after signing with the company in 2019 and making his main roster debut in mid-2020.
He has mostly been kept off TV since 2023 after Triple H took over creative, however. His only 2 televised matches this year have been battle royal appearances in Royal Rumble and Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
The unexplained absence has resulted in all kind of rumors about Omos’ WWE status but hopefully, the NOAH appearance will pave the way for his return to the Endeavor-owned promotion.
