#1. Possible 'endgame' for Otis' MITB storyline in WWE

Otis' Money in the Bank storyline witnessed another big twist on the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown as the Heavy Machinery member was served with a lawsuit by The Miz and Morrison.

The catch here is that Miz and Morrison will drop the lawsuit if Otis gives up the MITB contract.

Dave Meltzer speculated on a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio that the new storyline development could be the WWE's way of taking the briefcase away from Otis.

It was noted that WWE never really had any concrete plans for Otis when they booked him to win the MITB match, and the latest storyline direction could have been done to take the briefcase off of the popular WWE SmackDown Superstar.

Here's what Meltzer had to say:

"So The Miz and [John] Morrison are doing the 'Dirtsheet' and Otis comes out and beats them both up, and they're trying to rile up Otis by saying 'Mandy Rose is on RAW and all those RAW guys are going to be after her and she's going to drop Otis. And Dolph is on RAW, and they used, to date' and so Otis comes out and beats the s**t out of both of them. And Morrison is just looking at Miz, who's like Yeah, he fell into our plan!" and Morrison obviously didn't know what the plan was. But the plan is that between the first segment and the fifth segment, The Miz had a lawyer draft a lawsuit for unsafe working conditions, which is the old Shawn Michaels gimmick. They're suing Otis, but they'll drop the lawsuit if he gives up the briefcase. Either they're going to sue, or the deal here is, "We got no idea how to get the briefcase off Otis, so this is how we're going to get it off him. And that's what it is'."
