5 Reasons why Otis and Mandy Rose will be 2020's breakout stars

#1 Otis could be a legitimate threat in the WWE Men’s Division

Otis could be a top star in the Men's Division

I’ve been wanting to write about the following point for quite some time now, not because Otis is the only legitimate shoot wrestler in the WWE (he’s not; the WWE has several other shoot wrestlers such as Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Dolph Ziggler, etc.), but since no one seems to talk about it.

It’s as though Otis’ amateur wrestling credentials remain buried under a pile of his comic timing, Corey Graves’ hilarious commentary whenever Otis enters the scene, as well as other miscellaneous elements; with the fans only hearing about and watching Otis’ entertaining on-screen antics and endearing personality.

I could be wrong on this; I’d love to be, but Otis’ shoot wrestling credentials seem to be something that even the man himself seems to have forgotten. I’d like to see Otis display some of his older mat wrestling techniques on the main roster, just like he used to when he first started off as a WWE performer in NXT.

Make no mistake about it; Otis is a physically gifted athlete, and although he may not look as muscular and ripped as most other WWE Superstars, Otis is surprisingly agile for a man his size. That agility combined with his rich amateur wrestling background is akin to a goldmine that’s yet to be explored by the WWE.

With the right build-up – a few squash match victories, a notable PPV win against a high profile opponent, etc. – and by letting his amateur wrestling background shine, the WWE could turn Otis into a legitimate threat in the Men’s Division from this point moving forward.
