WWE Royal Rumble 2021: 3 Superstars who flopped and 4 who impressed - Roman Reigns busted open, Edge makes history 

#3 Flopped at WWE Royal Rumble: Otis

Otis could have used a little more time inside the ring

Otis had an extremely underwhelming performance at WWE Royal Rumble this year. He entered the match at No. 20 and was almost immediately eliminated by King Corbin. He barely had any chance to make an impact, and it was disappointing to see him booked in such a fashion for this match.

Otis is someone who enjoyed a good push on SmackDown. But ever since he lost his Money in the Bank contract, he has been far from decent on the Blue brand. WWE Royal Rumble 2021 was the one opportunity that he could have used to establish himself as a credible threat on the roster once again. Unfortunately for him, the creative did not share the same viewpoint.

In hindsight, the split of Heavy Machinery makes no sense now that both Otis and Tucker are struggling on their respective brands. Even without any eliminations to his name, Otis could have used a little time inside the ring to gain momentum on WWE Royal Rumble. It remains to be seen what is now left for him following tonight’s event.
