WWE Backstage (May 12th, 2020) - 5 Takeaways from this week's episode

#1 A talk with Mr. Money in the Bank, Otis

Steaks and weights and briefcases

Vince McMahon's new favorite wrestler, Otis, won the men's MITB match and joined Backstage alongside Renee Young. She asked him what the day was like and he said that "my only strategy was that I couldn't be that quick and I had to try my best to stop people from getting up there." He added that the "roof was my favorite place because it helped me overcome the fear of heights."

Booker asked if "this is the beginning of a big singles run" and Otis answered that "it's kinda looking that way" but he "always needs guidance from Tucky. When things get juicy I get a little pissed off. "

Otis also mentioned that the main difference between amateur and pro wrestling is that "now we're even more naked." The moment Dozer realized that being a pro wrestler could work was when he "saw Chad Gable have some success here, I thought it could happen." He also "didn't think I'd be going into a tag team" but that's how his WWE journey began.

Punk gave the big man some advice, saying "don't trust anybody. You've already made the cardinal mistake of talking about your tag partner." Punk also thinks that "Mandy is gonna try to take that briefcase. You have to have your back to the wall and eyes wide open."

Otis also claimed that he doesn't usually "look forward to things until they happen" but that "momentum plays a huge factor." The biggest revelation was that Otis said he's "not a man of patience and I'm gonna cash this in sooner than later."
