As of the time of writing, it is unclear what name Jordan Omogbehin will go by in WWE.

The man himself is called Jordan Omogbehin on Twitter, while WWE’s official website referred to the Nigerian by his real name in the article that announced his signing.

It was widely reported in March 2019 that Jordan Omogbehin called himself ‘Tomu’ during an interview at an NXT live event. However, he was simply introduced as ‘Jordan’ when he defeated Cezar Bononi at another live event in October 2019.

Various NXT live event result articles from the last year show that he has also been called ‘Big Jordan’ in matches, which is the same name Kevin Nash wrote in his Instagram post about Jordan Omogbehin in 2019.

Regardless of his name, it will be interesting see how WWE books a man who has not yet competed in any matches on NXT television. Nowadays, it is extremely rare for somebody to debut on WWE’s main roster without establishing themselves in NXT first.

One notable exception came in August 2015 when another WWE giant, Braun Strowman, debuted on the RAW after SummerSlam to join The Wyatt Family. Prior to that, he had only competed at NXT live events.
