The 2020 WWE Draft had separated Otis and Tucker, with the latter moving to Monday Night RAW. Tonight, mere days after the draft ended, Tucker introduced a "new" tag team partner to the WWE Universe. Tucker stated that he looked all over the world and located a legendary luchador.

Out came El Gran Gordo, who was Otis wearing a mask and cape. In the end, Gordo hit a splash on The Miz to win the match for his team, and proceeded to celebrate with Tucker.
WWE NXT Superstar Santos Escobar posted a tweet soon after, stating that Gordo looks a lot like Otis, to which the SmackDown Superstar posted a response and had something to say about the luchador.
Otis and Tucker were split during the 2020 WWE Draft, and many fans weren't happy. Fans eventually accepted what happened, but aren't thrilled one bit with WWE putting the duo together again in just a matter of days.
It remains to be seen whether Otis will keep donning the persona of El Gran Gordo for a long time to come, or if he'll drop the character soon and we will get the old version of Heavy Machinery back.
No matter what happens, here's hoping that WWE respects the results of the draft for at least a few months before doing something like this again with other Superstars.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
