Morris had been teasing for several weeks that he would bring the biggest surprise imaginable to NOAH’s first event in 2025, a surprise that was almost spoiled when Omos received a player profile page on the official NOAH website a few days before the official announcement. Omos won’t be the only WWE star to make the spectacular trip to Japan for the New Year, as current United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura will face Ulka Sasaki in a special singles match, marking the second time that he has been fighting for NOAH since signing. in WWE, the previous occasion being when he fought The Great Muta at the 2023 New Year’s Eve event.
Omos will likely have some rust heading into the match, as he hasn’t been featured on WWE TV since the April 5 “WWE SmackDown,” where he competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. In fact, aside from battle royal variations, Omos hasn’t competed in a regularly televised match since his fight with Seth Rollins at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico. He found himself regularly wrestling on WWE house shows between his match with Rollins and the time of writing, with the initial idea being for him to be used as a special attraction rather than someone who appeared every week.
