Omos Set for WWE Return at AAA’s TripleMania XXXIII This Weekend; Alexa Bliss Praises Rising NXT Stars Amid New AAA Logo Launch

After months away from the WWE spotlight, towering superstar Omos is reportedly poised to make a major return this weekend at Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide’s TripleMania XXXIII event, marking a significant milestone following WWE’s recent acquisition of the Mexican promotion. Meanwhile, a new AAA logo is anticipated soon as WWE integrates its branding with AAA’s iconic identity. Adding to the excitement, WWE star Alexa Bliss has publicly praised two promising WWE NXT performers, signaling fresh talent on the rise in WWE’s developmental system.

According to a WrestleVotes Radio update, Omos’ name has emerged strongly in backstage discussions surrounding AAA’s biggest show, TripleMania XXXIII, which will be broadcast live on WWE’s YouTube channel this Saturday. WWE officials reportedly view this appearance as an opportunity to expand Omos’ appeal beyond the traditional WWE fanbase, leveraging AAA’s passionate Mexican audience to establish him as a bona fide global special attraction[1].

Omos, standing an imposing 7 ft 3 in, has been notably absent from WWE programming since his participation in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the day before WrestleMania 40 in April 2024. His last singles match on WWE television was a loss to Seth Rollins at Backlash in May 2023[2]. During his absence, Omos notably competed for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, capturing the GHC Tag Team Championship before relinquishing the titles and announcing his return to WWE earlier this year[3].

Sources close to WWE have revealed that the company renewed Omos’ contract despite his extended hiatus and is keen on using the AAA platform much like his previous Japanese stint—to build him as a dominant and unique force outside of WWE’s typical programming bubble[4]. WWE considers this a strategic investment in Omos, emphasizing his potential as a crossover star who can attract diverse wrestling audiences globally.

The upcoming TripleMania XXXIII event is shaping up as an essential instrument in WWE’s efforts to blend its mainstream U.S. product with lucha libre’s storied tradition. As WWE continues to integrate AAA within its fold following the acquisition announced at WrestleMania 41 last year, signs point to a fresh AAA logo redesign in the near future to reflect WWE’s new ownership and modernize the brand for global exposure[1].

On the WWE developmental front, Alexa Bliss has been outspoken in her admiration for two NXT standouts, underscoring WWE’s ongoing focus on cultivating future main roster stars. During recent interviews and podcasts, Bliss lavished praise on these NXT superstars’ athleticism and charisma, hinting that their star power could soon translate to WWE’s flagship shows. This endorsement from Bliss, a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and one of WWE’s most recognizable female performers, boosts confidence in NXT’s talent pipeline and may signal impending call-ups to WWE Raw or SmackDown[1].

Industry insiders sharing details with Fightful and WrestlingNews.co confirm WWE’s increased interest in cross-promotional opportunities—expanding not only talent exposure but also creative storytelling possibilities. The presence of WWE stars Chad Gable, Stephanie Vaquer, and the Legado Del Fantasma stable at previous AAA crossover events helped lay the groundwork, making Omos’ potential appearance at TripleMania XXXIII a natural evolution[2].

Notably, WrestleVotes highlighted the creative team’s intention to present Omos without his previous on-screen manager MVP, marking a fresh character direction for the giant star upon his return. This approach could redefine his WWE narrative, possibly positioning him as a free agent special attraction who can work dynamically across WWE and AAA storylines[2].

Though some sources like the Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggest there is still uncertainty regarding definitive plans or dates for Omos’ AAA stint, the mounting reports and backstage buzz strongly indicate this weekend’s TripleMania event as the stage for his long-anticipated comeback[5].

In summary:

  • WWE star Omos looks set to return this weekend at AAA’s TripleMania XXXIII, marking his first in-ring appearance under the WWE-AAA partnership[1][4].
  • The company is expected to launch a new AAA logo soon as part of WWE’s rebranding efforts following the acquisition[1].
  • Alexa Bliss has publicly praised two notable WWE NXT talents, signaling emerging stars gaining WWE’s endorsement and potential elevation[1].
  • Insider sources confirm WWE’s strategic plan to utilize AAA as a platform to elevate Omos into a global special attraction, continuing his development outside traditional WWE programming[3][4].
  • TripleMania XXXIII will be broadcast live on WWE’s YouTube, featuring a blend of WWE and AAA talent, enhancing cross-promotional storytelling[1].

As WWE leverages innovative partnerships and cultivates fresh talent, Omos’ return could be a pivotal moment in broadening WWE’s global wrestling footprint while energizing fans with a blend of power and international flair. Fans can expect thrilling action and surprises when TripleMania XXXIII airs live this Saturday.
