Otis Gets The Final Spot On Team SmackDown For WWE Survivor Series

Otis is the final member of the Men's Team SmackDown at WWE Survivor Series.

WWE official Adam Pearce announced during tonight's go-home edition of SmackDown on FOX that the final spot on Team SmackDown will go to Otis, citing his strength and resiliency, among other factors. The new storyline with Otis and Chad Gable continued during the same segment as Gable took some of the credit for helping Otis, then left with him by saying it's time to get Otis ready for the big match.

Big E had been expected to get the final Team SmackDown spot, but there's no word yet on why they chose Otis over Big E.

Otis joins Seth Rollins, King Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens and Jey Uso as members of the blue brand men's team. They will do battle with AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, Riddle, Keith Lee and Sheamus of Team RAW in the Traditional 5-on-5 Elimination Match on Sunday.
