Career Summary

Otis is an American professional wrestler known for turning his size, strength, and engaging personality into a full package that connects instantly with crowds.

He was a decorated amateur wrestler at Colorado State University–Pueblo and won a Greco-Roman medal at the Pan American Games. He then moved on to professional wrestling, where his wrestling background influenced his suplex‑heavy in‑ring style.

After indie runs in NWA and NRW Pro Wrestling, he signed with WWE in 2016 and debuted in NXT as Otis Dozovic, soon forming Heavy Machinery with Tucker Knight, a fun‑loving blue‑collar tag team.

Heavy Machinery joined the WWE main roster in 2019. Otis became popular with fans through his romance storyline with Mandy Rose and his surprise win at the 2020 Money in the Bank.

Later, he changed his character to a more serious heel alongside Chad Gable in the Alpha Academy stable on Raw. This led to a Raw Tag Team Championship win and ongoing changes to his character in the Modern Era.
