Page 4 - WWE SmackDown: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Aalyah Mysterio makes a big mistake, returning Superstar attacks champion (November 6th, 2020)

#1 Flopped on SmackDown: Otis

It is evident that Otis is no longer the same since he lost his Money in the Bank contract. He has been booked in a weak light for a long time now, but the contract was still somewhat helpful in maintaining his push. But after he was defeated by The Miz for the Money in the Bank contract, Otis has been pushed further down the roster as was clear on this week’s episode of SmackDown.

He faced Seth Rollins in the second qualifier of the night for a spot in the SmackDown’s men’s team for Survivor Series. But he was easily distracted by Murphy who was present on the ringside. Seth Rollins made the best of this small window of opportunity and pinned Otis to earn a spot for himself in the SmackDown’s team.

It is unclear why Murphy went and helped Rollins during this match. Rollins asked if he can trust what he saw to which the latter replied by saying that Rollins is a Messiah and he is a disciple. But moments later, he told Aalyah to trust him with a plan. As of this writing, we don’t know what game Murphy is playing, but we are certain that it has nothing to do with Otis. Instead, the latter seems like it is sadly being pushed into the oblivion.
