Omos shared a heartwarming story about his first encounter with WWE legend The Undertaker and the bond they’ve since formed, with “The Phenom” becoming a significant mentor.
“I’ve been blessed from the first day. I remember the first time I met him. I was at NXT, this is when we were still filming at Full Sail,” Omos said on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. “I’m walking to Gorilla in the back, and I see Hunter. Hunter goes, ‘Hey, I have a special surprise for you.’ He [Undertaker] just walks out, and I rarely get star-struck. I just go oh it’s The Undertaker! He goes, ‘Hey big fella’, and he just gave me a big hug. I was shocked. I was shook. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and from that day it just became like a bond.”
He continued, describing The Undertaker’s impact on him: “He’s pretty much like a, because he can’t be my dad, sorry Taker, but he’s been such a great influence on me, and I appreciate him. We talk quite often. He gives me advice. Whenever I’m trying to figure out a match or a spot, I always ask, What would Undertaker do? Because I do admire how he’s been able to transcend the business, because he has built one of those characters that, even after he passes, that character is going to be forever.”
