4 Ups & 7 Downs From WWE Hell In A Cell 2020

Ups…

4. At Least It Made Sense

Former tag partners turning on each other is about as old a story as wrestling can tell. But for every Shawn & Marty, there are dozens of flops.

So where does the official breakup of Heavy Machinery rank? Eh..

The duo was a fine mid-card act that never really went much further, so the best you could hope for is that the breakup makes sense and the two wrestlers get some juice out of it. Tucker turned on Otis during his buddy’s battle to keep his Money in the Bank briefcase, costing him the guaranteed title shot.

Afterward, we immediately got Tucker’s reasoning: Simply put, he was tired of being overshadowed, the guy who played second fiddle to Otis’ antics despite being the guy who helped him ask out Mandy Rose and had his back throughout everything.

Sure, this isn’t the Rockers or the Shield breaking up, but there was some logic in Tucker’s reasoning, and if WWE was already splitting them up on Raw and SmackDown, they might as well have created a break that could give Tucker a fresh start rather than being “Otis’ former tag partner.”
