#4. WWE doesn't believe in Otis vs. Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns versus Otis would be a worst-case scenario for WWE.

Roman Reigns versus Otis isn't a road WWE wants to go down and that's probably the reason why the company is trying to take the briefcase away from him. At least that way, WWE doesn't have to try to put Otis up against Roman Reigns and risk Reigns picking up nuclear heat with fans.

Reigns is a heel now, so generating heat is a big part of his role. However, beating Otis decisively might make fans angry. Otis is a fan favorite and Reigns is the current champion. WWE might want to avoid this match for the time being and do something else with Otis and the briefcase.

It could be trickery from The Miz or some bizarre bet where Otis puts his briefcase on the line, but WWE needs to give the briefcase to someone else. They're running the risk of setting Roman Reigns' title reign up to fail and burying one of their most promising babyface talents in the process.
