WWE SmackDown: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - Goldberg's future, Bryan to face former rival at WrestleMania 36

#2 Otis in line for a push?

Even though Tucker and Otis made their debut on SmackDown as part of the team Heavy Machinery, Otis has started emerging as a singles star thanks to his ongoing storyline with Mandy Rose.

Otis has unexpectedly become one of the most popular acts on SmackDown and the fans have been rooting for him in his ongoing 'love triangle' involving Mandy Rose and Dolph Ziggler.

While some fans may find the angle a bit outlandish, WWE has no plans to stop it anytime soon. In fact, as per WON, Otis is set to compete against Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania 36.

While speculating John Cena's possible opponent for WrestleMania 36, Dave Meltzer of The Observer stated that it won't be Ziggler as 'he is with Otis.' This means that the two will be possibly involved in a match at WrestleMania.

Dolph Ziggler lost to Mansoor at Super ShowDown and will be looking to get back his momentum this week. As both Otis and Ziggler continue to try to woo Mandy Rose on SmackDown, we will surely have some interesting segments in store for us on this week's episode of the Blue brand.
