5 Surprising decisions WWE has taken in 2020 so far

Two big surprises fans were treated to this year

#1 Otis winning the Men's Money in the Bank briefcase

When WWE began giving Otis a push on SmackDown earlier this year, fans had no idea that the company would be going all the way with the Heavy Machinery member. Otis feuded with Dolph Ziggler on the Road to WWE WrestleMania 36 and finally won Mandy's heart after chasing her for months on end. Mandy helped Otis defeat Ziggler at 'Mania and finally got together with him.

At WWE Money in the Bank 2020, there were several big names that were being rumored to win the briefcase. AJ Styles and King Corbin were strong contenders to win the contract but it was Otis who left the building with the briefcase in his hands.

A sequence between AJ Styles and Corbin on top of the ladder ended with the briefcase falling down and landing in Otis' hands. It would certainly be interesting to see how and when Otis cashes-in his briefcase. Currently, he is having the time of his life on the Blue brand.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
