Otis has publicly thanked WWE for putting him through reading classes.

The tag-team star has struggled with dyslexia his entire life, but he revealed via Instagram that he just finished reading his first full book cover-to-cover - Chad Gable's main man picked out the Stephen King classic 'Pet Sematary' for his personal project.

It was actually WWE staff that approached Otis asking if he'd like to attend classes. At first, the wrestler admitted he was embarrassed about this. In fact, he's been pretty shy about his dyslexia for years, but decided to give it a bash and now he's glad he took the plunge.

Otis recalled watching a movie adaptation of Pet Sematary as a kid, so he was keen to see if the book was actually better than the film. His teacher, a woman named Kimberly Swedberg, asked if he'd like to start with that one because he was so excited by it.

The former Raw Tag-Team Champ and 2020 Money In The Bank winner is grateful to WWE for showing patience with him and going out of their way to help enrich his life.
