One WWE star has thrilled fans as they reunite with their former tag team partner.

Ever since Chad Gable turned his back on Alpha Academy, Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri have stuck together as a unit while Gable has formed American Made with The Creeds and Ivy Nile.

But before being part of Alpha Academy in the first place, Otis had been part of Heavy Machinery alongside Tucker Knight. The two stars began teaming up in 2016 and became one of NXT’s most popular acts despite never winning tag team gold on the brand.

In 2019, Heavy Machinery moved to the WWE main roster but as the pandemic era crept in, Otis became one of the company’s stand-out stars as he was part of a romantic relationship with Mandy Rose before he won the Money In The Bank briefcase.

However, Otis never got the chance to cash in as he lost the briefcase in a match against The Miz after Tucker turned on his partner. Following the betrayal, Tucker’s role was severely diminished before he was released from the company a matter of a few months later.

Now Otis has taken to social media to share a photo of Heavy Machinery’s reunion as they hone their skills together.

Since his release from WWE, Tucker continued his career for DEFY Wrestling in the Pacific Northwest but he has not competed since June 2023.
