#2 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Tucker

WWE Superstar Tucker returned to in-ring action this week when he competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He made a blink-and-miss appearance in the match, and hardly had a noteworthy moment. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin targeted him immediately after the match started and eliminated him within the first couple of minutes.

Tucker shocked the WWE Universe when he betrayed his former tag team partner Otis at Hell in a Cell last year. The latter lost his Money in the Bank contract to The Miz after Tucker interfered in the match. The WWE Superstar cemented his heel turn by hitting Otis with the MITB briefcase and confirmed Heavy Machinery's split.

Right after they parted ways, both Otis and Tucker struggled for a while on SmackDown and RAW, respectively. However, Otis redeemed himself after allying with Chad Gable. In fact, they have emerged as a big threat in the SmackDown tag team division over the last few weeks. On the other hand, Tucker is barely on WWE RAW, and bookings like these won’t help him.
