6 WWE Superstars who unexpectedly got a push in 2020

#2 Otis was this year's surprise WWE Money in the Bank winner

Otis won the Money in the Bank contract and the heart of Mandy Rose

Through his WWE career, Otis has been paired with Tucker in Heavy Machinery. The pair were dealt more losses than wins during their time on NXT before moving to SmackDown in early 2019.

Otis and Tucker were often depicted as comedy characters, and although they were involved in a handful of #1 contender matches for the SmackDown Championships, the pair weren't successful. Towards the end of 2019, however, Otis began a storyline with Mandy Rose.

The romantic story between Otis and Mandy built slowly towards their first date that was set to take place on Valentines Day 2020, which was sabotaged by Dolph Ziggler and Sonya Deville. The relationship brought Otis to the forefront of SmackDown as a fan favorite and turned the former villainous Mandy face.
