It's an even sadder day when the illogical tripe that is Otis going to court opposite The Miz and John Morrison is better than Chad Gable's lot. This week, Otis revealed that he'd be legally representing himself on the big day. You know what that means, folks.

WWE "comedy" is incoming.

The whole story is plain stupidity. What kind of case do Miz and Morrison have when they stole the Money In The Bank briefcase? Why is this even a protracted storyline, and what happened to Otis? He was one of the highlights of WWE's summer, but he's a weekly annoyance now.

It's still baffling that WWE's creative team think this flaky crap belongs in the same conversation as the super-serious Universal Title. No, your writer will not stop whinging about that until they change it. Otis has the potential to be a great underdog story, but this booking is killing him.
