Otis has a huge opportunity at the Royal Rumble

Otis will have Chad Gable supporting him from the sidelines

Recently, Otis has been paired up with Chad Gable, who has taken up the role of his friend, trainer, and manager. The Royal Rumble will be a great opportunity for Otis to show off his skills against some of WWE's finest.

WWE has decided to give Otis a chance to prove his worth. A solid performance in the Royal Rumble match can help in establishing him as a singles star and compete for some of the top Championships in the company.

He could also team up with his mentor, Gable, to become possible challengers to the newly-crowned SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, on the back of a top performance in the marquee match.
