WWE Superstar Otis is currently off television after undergoing a recent arthroscopic elbow surgery. The Alpha Academy powerhouse has been absent from WWE programming since early May, with his last appearance being a loss to the returning Rusev on the May 5, 2025, episode of Monday Night Raw.
Following the match, a storyline injury angle saw Rusev viciously attack Otis, providing a narrative reason for his subsequent absence. It has since been reported that the surgery was exploratory in nature, aiming to diagnose a lingering issue. While a definitive timeline for his return has not been officially announced, reports suggest that the injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, and he is anticipated to make a recovery without an extended period on the sidelines.
Prior to his injury, Otis was embroiled in a feud alongside his Alpha Academy stablemates, Akira Tozawa and Maxxine Dupri, against their former leader, Chad Gable. The storyline saw Gable turn heel, leading to a bitter rivalry between the factions.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting the return of the fan-favorite, known for his charismatic personality and impressive in-ring power. His absence leaves a noticeable void in the Raw tag team division and within the ongoing Alpha Academy saga.
