Otishas arrived in WWEand declared that he’s hungry, which is unfortunate news for his competition.
Thanks to his penchant for putting up inhuman numbers and reps in the Performance Center’s weight room, the 330-pounder has made waves since his arrival at the WWE PC. A 455-pound floor press is a warm-up for Otis.
But pure power isn’t the only attribute the Wisconsin native brings to the squared circle. Otis was a standout amateur heavyweight wrestler at Colorado State University-Pueblo and a medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Pan-American Games. He’s also trained extensively at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and studied under Gold Medalist Rulon Gardner.
Those credentials would make Otis stand out on his own, but the big man has found an equally massive Superstar to team up with in Tucker. The duo, known as Heavy Machinery, tippedthe scales at 650 pounds and crushedthe competition with ease.
Otis has also succeeded on his own. Not only did he defeat Dolph Ziggler at WrestleManiato win the heart of his beloved Mandy Rose, but he won the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match just a few weeks later. However, after the shenanigans of The MizandJohn Morrison managed to get Rose traded to Raw and turned his life upside-down, Otis lost his Moneyin the Bank contract to The A-Lister at WWE Hell in a Cell thanks to a surprise betrayal by Tucker.
He's back on his feet now, however, after forming an alliance with Chad Gable as the no-nonsensetandem The Alpha Academyto become atrue threaton Raw, even winning the Raw Tag Team Championship together and providing some teachings to Maxxine Dupri.
After months of abuse, Otis finally stood up to his Master Chad Gable, knocking him before declaring that he, along with the other members of Alpha Academy, were leavingGable for good.
