Otis addresses his 2020 WWE Money in the Bank win from the Covid-19 lockdown period
WWE star Otis did an interview with Chris Van Vliet and discussed his 2020 WWE Money in the Bank win from the Covid-19 lockdown period. Here is what he had to say…
“I don’t think there was a plan, no. It was kind of a shock because the whole day we couldn’t get up on the roof for the longest time because of COVID stuff. It was like just sitting, sitting, sitting, do one thing and shoot it. So you were basically just sitting there in your gear. They were kind of bullsh*tting with all the boys and calling stuff that would make it more spectacular. So it’s just like a long day and then finally Jamie [Noble] was like ‘You thinking King Kong up in there’, I’m like, ‘King Kong?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, come with me.’ Jamie Noble is all fired up. He walks up and is just climbing this ladder with his cowboy boots. I’m like, ‘Man, I’m not going up there. I hate heights.’ That’s why I only go on the second rope. He’s like, ‘Get your ass up here, come on!’ It was a long way down. It’s the headquarters. So we got out there and he goes, ‘I’m gonna take a picture of you. Take your shirt off and roar like King Kong, really roar.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ll roar.’ I’ve been sitting for 14 hours.
Then they said you’re gonna win it. I’m like, ‘Oh, okay.’ From there, again, it was who’s healthy, who’s not, so that could have been a factor there with testing for COVID and all that. There were a bunch of changes going on.”
