1. Otis Gets Some Revenge

The same could be said for Otis' current push.

It's a shame that his good fortunes aren't taking place in front of fans who would surely eat this push up, but the Heavy Machinery man is making the best of things anyway. His win over Dolph Ziggler (who himself got to cut a fine promo pre-match) made total sense.

Otis will be a popular and fun addition to the MITB madness, and there's always the chance that Dolph, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose or some combo of all three will intrude to distract him from the task at hand. Truthfully, the guy would deserve an excuse, even in one of WWE's biggest match types. He's that over at the moment.

Here's hoping WWE don't forget about the mixed tag match (Otis and Mandy against Dolph and Sonya) that needs to happen sometime soon. That would be a fine main event on an upcoming episode of SmackDown after the next pay-per-view.
