Otis unfortunately never got to share a ring with Brodie Lee

Back when Brodie Lee was wrestling on WWE TV on a regular basis, Otis hadn't become a popular name yet. The duo never got to wrestle each other in WWE. Lee was barely used on WWE TV in 2019, and was actively trying to part ways and look for greener pastures outside the WWE umbrella.

Otis gained popularity earlier this year when he got into a love triangle storyline with Dolph Ziggler and Mandy Rose. In a matter of months, he was dating Rose and holding the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Around the same time, Brodie Lee was doing well for himself in AEW as the leader of The Dark Order. As Otis mentioned in his tweet, Lee helped him with crucial advice in regards to pro-wrestling. He would certainly be proud of how far Otis has come in such a short amount of time.
