WWE star Akira Tozawa has been bringing a big Ninja in recent shows
WWE fans were in for a surprise at Backlash as a big Ninja appeared during the match between the Street Profits and the Viking Raiders.
This was a crazy match as Akira Tozawa became the leader of a group of motorcycle ninjas and attacked the two tag teams.
His trump card was this big Ninja appearing, and the two tag teams ran off. This week on Raw, a match was set up between the two tag teams and the ninjas.
While the Profits and Raiders did some great work, the big Ninja didn’t do much in the ring. The Big Show came out to help the Raiders and the Profits, and Tozawa ran off with his giant Ninja.
However, the giant isn’t someone brand new in WWE and we now know who the ninja actually is.
Ryan Satin confirmed on Twitter that the giant star is NXT recruit Jordan Omogbehin. Satin also could not believe that the 7’3 NXT star would make his TV debut in this gimmick.

Who is the WWE big Ninja Jordan Omogbehin?
Omogbehin is a former college basketball player who has been part of NXT since 2019. He has worked out with former WWE stars Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, and it was interesting to see him make his debut at Backlash.
Omogbehin was born in Nigeria and his family emigrated to the United States later. He played college basketball in Virginia and joined the WWE performance center in 2018.
The African has featured in some house shows alongside Malcolm Bivens, but he had never appeared on a TV show.
Backlash was his first TV appearance for WWE, and that could have been a one-off.
However, Tozawa bringing him on Raw does suggest that he could continue with this gimmick for a while.
Omogbehin is possibly the tallest WWE star we have ever seen, and it will be interesting to see how he works in the ring.
We have seen stars like the Great Khali struggling to move about. However, Big Show, Nash and even Braun Strowman have proved that size cannot stop them from doing some great moves.
Omogbehin certainly looks scary as a ninja, and hopefully, we get to see him in actual in-ring action soon.
