WWE have an interesting show lined up this week

#3 Otis and Mandy Rose to team up in their match on SmackDown

Otis and Mandy Rose are doing pretty great in their current roles

The storyline involving Otis, Mandy Rose, Dolph Ziggler, and Sonya Deville has had its fair share of twists and turns – thanks to the SmackDown mystery hacker. Ever since WrestleMania 36, all of them have been involved in grudge matches. But tonight, we will finally see all four Superstars battling it out inside the ring.

As confirmed by WWE, Otis and Mandy Rose will team up to take on Dolph Ziggler and Sonya Deville on SmackDown this week. Ever since her fallout with her former tag team partner, Deville has found a new friend in Ziggler, and both of them are doing remarkably well in their portrayal of heels with respect to this storyline. Hopefully, it will help them prove their worth so that they can earn a well-deserved push in the future.

As for Otis and Rose, they have been immensely over with the crowd. In fact, Otis’ growing popularity saw the SmackDown Superstar walk out with the Money in the Bank briefcase this year. It will be interesting to see what’s in store for this one-half of Heavy Machinery. But for now, his love story with Rose has earned him everyone’s attention.
