Otis and the new Alpha Academy may not be getting much time on “WWE Raw” these days, but most recently, Otis popped the crowd big when he competed at AAA TripleMania XXIII in the Copa Bardahl, the popular battle royal match similar to WWE’s Royal Rumble where the winner receives a trophy. It was WWE’s first time with stars competing in the match, after it was announced WWE had purchased AAA over WrestleMania 41 weekend.

The match was eventually won by another big man in WWE, Omos, but Otis had an impressive and very fun showing in the match. He worked with MLW and AAA star Microman, and was eventually eliminated by the luchador. Otis entered the match and cleared house, wrecking everyone already in the ring and scoring an elimination by himself before hitting the caterpillar to the delight of the raucous crowd. Microman would enter the match later.

The pair initially worked together to eliminate Cibernetico, with Otis using Microman as a weapon to knock their competition off the apron. After their brief partnership, Microman sent the former WWE tag team champion over the top rope.
