WWE Rumor Roundup: Randy Orton almost got female star in trouble, former MITB winner tipped to leave, Eva Marie's return (4th May 2021)

#4 John Cena Sr says Otis could be leaving WWE soon

Former MITB winner Otis is currently having a solid run on WWE SmackDown as part of a team with Chad Gable. However, John Cena Sr. thinks that the Blue Collar Brawler isn't going to be a part of WWE for very long. Speaking to Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade, Cena Sr. said that Otis could leave the company soon.

Is WWE mad at Paul Heyman? Check the story!

“Bye [pretends to wave goodbye],” Cena Sr. said. “Hang on, he’s not long for the [company]. I think so, I think so [we could be discussing Otis’ departure soon].”

Otis' former tag-team partner Tucker was recently released by WWE. While the former MITB winner was featured regularly on WWE television after the Heavy Machinery split up, the same could not be said about Tucky.

Otis received a heavy push last year when he was featured in a prominent storyline with Dolph Ziggler and Mandy Rose. However, all three superstars have been removed from singles competition and were put into tag teams.

It remains to be seen how well WWE's experiment of pairing Otis with Gable works.
