Brock Lesnar is facing a tall task at WrestleMania 39 as he prepares to face towering WWE star Omos.

The 45-year-old legend accepted a challenge made by MVP on his client’s behalf, and the Beast Incarnate will do battle with the Nigerian Giant on the grandest stage, with the doubleheader going to Hollywood on April 1 and 2.

Lesnar is coming off the back of a rivalry with Bobby Lashley, with the pair last facing each other at Elimination Chamber as the All Mighty lost by disqualification.

While fans had suspected a potential final match was coming at WrestleMania, that’s not going to be the case.

Instead the former world champion will face Omos, who coincidentally beat Lashley at last year’s event.

The match with Lesnar will be a real test for Omos, who has been in high profile spots involving the likes of AJ Styles but is yet to really catch fire as a legitimate threat at the top of the card.

How tall is Omos?

Omos – real name Jordan Omogbehi – stands at 7ft 3in tall.

The former basketball player was signed up by boss Triple H in 2018, and started honing his craft at the Performance Center before being called up in various roles, with the most successful being his alliance and feud with AJ Styles.

The landscape of WWE has changed, meaning Omogbehin really does stand head and shoulders above everyone else on the roster, but shockingly his billed height only puts him third on the list of the company’s resident giants.

While Kane, Big Cass and Big Show himself stand at 7ft tall, The Great Khali gets a spot in the top five by an inch.

Similarly, 7ft 2in Giant Silva falls just short (ahem) of Omogbehin, who is only behind Andre The Giant (7ft 4in) and Giant Gonzalez (8ft) in the billed rankings.

It should be noted, WWE – and the wrestling world in general – is known to exaggerate some heights, meaning the latter was actually only a measly 7ft 7in.

WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport.
