#1 Possibility of a feud with King Corbin (and even AJ Styles)

On the Sportskeeda chat, a lot of our own writers were upset at the fact that Otis became Mr. Money in the Bank. And this is because, in their opinion, it was technically King Corbin and AJ Styles who had originally retrieved the briefcase, and Otis just caught it.

And this could be the very thing that WWE could have planned in the months to come. Because AJ Styles in on RAW, I doubt that he could technically have a feud with Otis unless there is a Superstar Shake-Up, but King Corbin and Otis could definitely engage in a feud that is very personal and very intense too.

And there is a chance for Mandy Rose to be involved in this feud as well, as you are well aware. Corbin could work magic with Otis and Mandy Rose when all the pieces are in place.

Do you think that Otis could cash in on someone like Braun Strowman and emerge victorious as the brand new Universal Champion down the line?
