10 Wrestlers WWE Have Ruined Without Fans
5. Otis
There's nothing inherently wrong with attempting to reinvent a tag team wrestler as a new singles star (or, for that matter, somebody brand new in a different double act), but Otis' journey between March 2020 and present day has been a puzzling one.
In Heavy Machinery, WWE had stumbled upon an act that fans had really gravitated towards. There was an innocent joy to watching the two big meatheads batter the opposition in the era of the super-worker, and Otis especially had hit that Scotty 2 Hotty sweet spot for more reasons than how well he could slide across the ring on his nipples.
Romantically linking up with Mandy Rose at WrestleMania would have been a monster moment in front of fans, but WWE's decision to give him the Money In The Bank briefcase without thinking through the next steps was the beginning of a protracted end. A split with Tucker went nowhere for both of them and an Otis saved and shaved by Chad Gable looks more like another flawed Gable tag team project than any kind of push.
