Otis is riding high after his shocking win at Money in the Bank, and with the opportunity to cash in and become a champion, who knows exactly what his plans are. Speaking to Comicbook recently, Otis discussed his plans, and also touched on the cinematic matches that have been a trend in recent WWE pay-per-views.
Check out some of the highlights below:
On his plans for the Money in the Bank briefcase:
I’m not going to wait, be able to cash that thing right away, There’s no time to waste, oh, yeah.
On the cinematic matches currently sweeping through WWE:
It was definitely a long day, But with those guys, I mean, geez, every time you’re at work with WWE, it’s like a day off. Because you just enjoy what you do and just the fun we had with it. It’s a great day, just the freedom of just going ‘Yeah, I’ll drop the weights on AJ, just drop this load on his chest.’ That’s just so damn funny to me.
On helping come up with some moments during the match:
It was like, ‘all right, let’s shoot down this area here’ and you talk to your producers or writers. That was the fun part, too, because I know AJ is just like… he goes, ‘You’re not doing that to me.’ I go, “Oh, yeah, AJ, this’ll be great!’ It was basically like what could we do, all the toys we could play with,” he said. “It wasn’t like a direct ‘you guys do it this part of the room.’ I think the directors [were there] to make sure to get your point across as to why we’re doing this in this particular scene, but it was basically just like “Oh, yeah, we should do this with this, and then all right, if I break it, I’m sorry,’ kind of thing.
