Top SmackDown backstage rumors: Management not happy with top Superstar; McMahon's decision on Reigns' situation; Who will Otis challenge as MITB winner? (15th May)

#2 Otis could become a singles Superstar

We just talked about the speculation that WWE may do something unprecedented by having Otis challenge for the Tag Team titles along with his brother Tucker. As per Ryan Satin, however, there is a high chance that Heavy Machinery may be taking a backseat for the MITB holder and he may venture into singles competition.

Here is what Ryan Satin tweeted:

Regarding whether he’ll start wrestling in singles competition now after winning Money in the Bank, Otis says it’s looking that way

The SmackDown Superstar was guest on WWE Backstage and insinuated that there is a high chance that he may be making the transition from tag-team action into becoming a singles Superstar.

Even though Otis and Tucker debuted in WWE as a tag-team, Otis has become a major SmackDown Superstar ever since his program with Dolph Ziggler. The MITB holder even had a singles match against The ShowOff at WrestleMania 36.

Now with Mandy Rose by his side, it will be interesting to see which way WWE will go with Otis on SmackDown.
