#2 Tucker: Currently on WWE RAW, and #1 Otis: Currently on WWE SmackDown

A widely popular midcard tag team, Heavy Machinery's arrival to the WWE main roster did not exactly set the world alight. That being said, they have been pretty entertaining over the past two years. It all began when Otis interrupted 'A Moment of Bliss' by wandering onto the RAW stage in January 2019.

Since then, he has been a source of comedy and quickly became a crowd favorite. He and Tucker challenged for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship quite a few times but did not win the titles. Otis was part of one of the best-told stories heading into WrestleMania, the love triangle between himself, Mandy Rose, and Dolph Ziggler.

He defeated The Showoff at 'Mania and shared a kiss with Rose afterward, a good moment that would have been electric in front of a crowd. Otis then won the Money in the Bank ladder match on the roof of WWE's Global Headquarters, but the company failed to book him into a credible world title contender.

The big man ended up losing the briefcase to The Miz after Tucker turned on him. Heavy Machinery has now split, both as a team and between brands. Tucker is currently on RAW and has barely featured on TV. Meanwhile, Otis has a much more promising future on SmackDown.

The former Money in the Bank winner has begun a partnership with Chad Gable on the Blue brand. Following the past two years, it is fair to call Otis has been the biggest success out of the six Superstars who were called up from NXT right after the McMahon family's promise to bring change to WWE.
