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.
