EC3 pitches WWE Superstar's massive return after nearly 400 days away (Exclusive)

EC3 was surprised at WWE's decision not to bring back a popular superstar after a successful excursion in Japan in early 2025. He recently pitched the idea for a massive return of that star.

In the latest episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, former TNA World Heavyweight Champion EC3 spoke a bit about Omos, who has been absent from WWE television since April 5, 2024, which was one day before WrestleMania 40 Night One.

It has been 389 days since his return as of this writing. Meanwhile, EC3 told host Dr. Chris Featherstone and former WWE writer Vince Russo about a brilliant idea to bring The Nigerian Giant back into the fold.

​

"We were talking about Omos, and you mentioned that he was going over to Japan. From a guy who's seen how the system works in developmental and what lacks is kind of, like, outside that style, that system, and coaching... it's like a whole different world. Where a guy like Omos is going there and throwing people around and slapping meat. It's not a style you'd see him using in WWE,'' he said.

The 42-year-old continued:

​

''How do we build this guy as a star after so many starts and stops with him? My theory would be that he goes and conquers the island of Japan. You don't need to put matches or shows on there, but you just have this giant beating people up and tossing them around; fans looking at him; taking pictures with him; the size difference. Three or four vignettes like that, and BOOM! You got a monster off the bat." [3:21-4:26]

EC3 compares WWE's AAA purchase to a rich kid showing off

EC3 didn't have a particularly positive opinion about WWE's decision to work with and outright acquire the prestigious Mexican wrestling promotion, AAA.

According to him, WWE's relationship with these other companies is akin to a rich kid showing off his toys.

​

"By no means, it's letting people know that you're the coolest, richest kid with the best toys, and sometimes, you'll let the bums in the neighborhood play with them," he said. [4:43-5:56]

It will be interesting to see how the relationship between WWE and AAA pans out in the coming days.
