#4. Otis will dethrone Sami Zayn

Otis is going through a rough time.

On the latest edition of SmackDown, WWE adroitly planted the seeds for a feud between Mr. Money in The Bank, Otis, and Sami Zayn. Otis has been going through a rough patch lately as The Miz pulled some strings to separate him and his girlfriend, Mandy Rose, a couple of weeks ago. Then his best friend, Tucker, joined Monday Night RAW as a part of the WWE Draft, effectively disbanding Heavy Machinery.

As loquacious as he is, the Great Liberator berated the sullen powerhouse in a backstage segment, leading Otis to shove Sami Zayn to the ground. This set the stage for a clash between these two Superstars in the foreseeable future. A rivalry between Sami Zayn and Otis can benefit both stars, giving them both a fresh program.

There are multiple ways WWE could proceed with this feud. Either Otis could put the Money in the Bank contract on the line, or Sami Zayn could put his Intercontinental title up for grabs. To spice things up, WWE could choose to put both the briefcase and the championship up for contention.

Sami Zayn may be crafty, but Otis is a behemoth, who is extremely agile for a man of his size. As Otis has had such a remarkable year, he could conceivably add an Intercontinental Championship win to his resume.
