8 Incredible Ideas WWE Abandoned IMMEDIATELY
2. Otis and Mandy Rose
Otis is one of the most curious characters in WWE's lower levels. On multiple occasions, fans have got behind the big brute in a serious way. In fact, it feels like every time they are given the slightest opportunity to show their support for the American Alpha man, they do en masse.
Never was this more apparent on the run up to WrestleMania 36. Otis was involved in a feud with Dolph Ziggler for the affections of Mandy Rose. The idea that Rose would go for Otis over the super-chiseled Dolph Ziggler had fans behind him in a big way. The whole thing culminated in Rose coming to Otis's aid at the biggest show of the year, shunning Ziggler, taking out Sonya Deville, and sharing a WrestleMania sized smooch for the ages.
Otis was more over than ever and Mandy Rose was endeared to the whole roster. Whether the two went steady and had a run together as a lovable odd couple, or they pivoted to having Otis become some kind of super stud, there was more milage in capitalizing on a genuine feel-good WrestleMania moment in an era that was so devoid of them.
