Heavy Machinery, Otis and Tucker, faced The Dirt Sheet hosts, The Miz and John Morrison, on Friday's WWE SmackDown. Otis turned out to be the MVP of this match, as the Money in the Bank briefcase holder outshined all the other Superstars in this bout.

Otis hit a Vader Bomb on The Miz to secure the victory via pinfall. After the match, John Morrison stole Otis' MITB briefcase and Tucker became incensed with rage even though Otis himself seemed unusually calm.

Later, the reason why Otis was so calm became clear, as viewers learned that Otis actually kept the actual MITB contract inside his lunchbox. Meanwhile, Morrison found out that the briefcase contained nothing but a sandwich and a bunch of supplies.

This whole arc seemed a bit silly, but it fits within the context of what the audience knows about Otis. The WWE Universal Championship scene is on a another level with Roman Reigns at the helm, but Otis could have a temporary WWE feud with John Morrison over the actual contract in the meantime.
