WWE SmackDown has an interesting show lined up for this week

#3 Otis’ Money in the Bank contract will be on the line on SmackDown this week

Earlier this year, Otis surprised everyone by winning the Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Some fans also seemed quite excited for him. Unfortunately, the noise surrounding Otis’ MITB contract died down quite early. WWE tried their best to make Otis seem like a threat on SmackDown, but they couldn’t help maintain the attention surrounding him on the blue brand.

A few weeks ago, Mandy Rose was moved to RAW, and this prompted Miz to say some inappropriate things to Otis. The latter was furious at those comments made by Miz. As a result, the Heavy Machinery entered into a feud with Miz and John Morrison. This rivalry mostly revolved around the MITB contract on SmackDown, and also saw one Superstar threatening to ‘sue’ the other.

Finally, it was confirmed by WWE that Otis will have to defend his Money In The Bank contract in the court’. After everything that Miz and Morrison have tried – from poorly organised heists, to blasphemous schemes – they have now decided to take ‘legal action’ against Otis. Tonight, on SmackDown, we will find out if Otis can defend his MITB contract outside the ring.
