5 mistakes WWE made with recently released superstars 

#4 WWE separated Heavy Machinery

Heavy Machinery on Friday Night SmackDown

Heavy Machinery was adored by the WWE Universe. Tucker and Otis had good chemistry with each other, and their comedic segments won many hearts.

Otis and Tucker made their debut on RAW in January 2019. A few months later, they were moved to Friday Night Smackdown because of the superstar shake-up. After WrestleMania 35, Tucker and Otis were involved in many feuds. Unfortunately, they always came up short in the tag team division.

From February 2020 onwards, the focus from them as a team shifted fully to Otis instead.

Mandy Rose and Otis got involved in a romantic angle on WWE Smackdown, and Tucker was fully sidelined, becoming a sidekick to Otis. Tucker then became like a manager while Otis basked in the limelight.

In October 2020, Tucker was drafted to RAW while Otis remained on Smackdown.

But the big betrayal happened at Hell in a Cell 2020. Tucker turned on Otis at the event and helped The Miz win Otis' Money in the Bank briefcase.

He was last seen in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and was eventually released in April 2021.

Heavy Machinery being split apart was a mistake made by WWE.

Tucker didn't impress much as a heel, nor did Otis create much of an impact going solo. Otis is a heel and is now paired with Chad Gable.
