David Otunga signed a developmental contract with WWE in November 2008. It came two months after his engagement to singer and actress Jennifer Hudson.

Hudson is a household name in Hollywood. She has won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and two Grammy Awards. Hudson was also named among Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2020.

The couple had a son in 2009. Eight years later, they officially announced their breakup.

Despite spending many years in WWE, Otunga has not had much success as an in-ring competitor. He debuted on Monday Night RAW as part of The Nexus. He won the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside John Cena, who was forced to join the faction at one point. He later won the titles for a second time alongside his teammate Michael McGillicutty.

Following the disbanding of The New Nexus, Otunga struggled as a singles competitor. His last match in 2015 was against R-Truth and he has never competed again since. Three years later, Otunga told TMZ that Hudson was the one who asked him to retire from in-ring action.

Since he retired, Otunga has become a commentator and a pre-show panelist in WWE.
