AJ Styles Bodyguard: Who is AJ Styles’ bodyguard? Here’s everything you need to know about the 7’3 mountain of a wrestler.

Tolulope “Jordan” Omogbehin, better known as Omos in the WWE plays the role of AJ Styles bodyguard in the WWE. The former college basketball player reportedly signed with the WWE back in 2018. He would regularly appear on house shows but did not make his television debut until last year.

He originally debuted as Akira Tozawa’s ninja faction. He was often referred to as the Big Ninja during the storyline with The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders. The character went nowhere and Omos was repacked as Shane McMahon’s bouncer.

He was often seen standing outside RAW Underground. However, following the abandonment of the fight club-esque joint, Omos began associating himself with former WWE Champion AJ Styles.

Meet AJ Styles’ bodyguard – Omos

Omos is a mountain of a man. He measures at 7’3 making him the third tallest fighter to ever enter a WWE ring. Only Giant Gonzalez and Andre the Giant are taller than him. Giant Gonzalez was 8 feet tall while Andre the Giant was 7’4. Both wrestlers have unfortunately passed away.

Despite his huge stature however, success has been hard to come by for Omos. It is here that his relationship with Styles has come in handy. Since joining hands with the Phenomenal One, Omos is gaining a lot of attention while Styles gets more than an extra pair of hands in return.

The World may call him Styles’ bodyguard but the Phenomenal One calls him his friend. He is there to make sure that Styles doesn’t get crossed.

“Right now, I need Omos to be by my side,” Styles had said in an interview last year. “Listen, there’s a lot of guys that will not only stab you in the back, but knock you down and step on you. Omos is there to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Omos has been of great help to Styles in the recent past. The big man was at it again preventing Styles from getting eliminated while thinning the numbers by pulling wrestlers out. Unfortunately, Styles was tossed out over the ropes opposite to where the 26-year old was standing.

Despite how their friendship has blossomed over the last few months, one has to wonder where this is leading. Friends always turn on each other and it is more than likely that Omos will get into a ring one day. Will AJ Styles be his first opponent? Only time will tell.
