Report: WWE Has Considered Taking The Money In The Bank Briefcase Off Otis

Since capturing the Money In The Bank briefcase on May 10, Otis has remained stuck in the SmackDown mid-card. The Master Of The Caterpillar briefly teamed with Braun Strowman after capturing the briefcase, but he has often been uninvolved on the blue brand. There was even a two month stretch in the summer where he didn't wrestle. 

Now, Mr. Money In The Bank finds himself embroiled in a feud with The Miz and John Morrison and he may well lose the briefcase on Friday following The A-Lister's civil lawsuit against him. 

According to WrestleVotes, WWE has considered taking the briefcase off Otis to help make the chase for a world title a prominent storyline again. The idea hasn't been approved, though, because Vince McMahon remains a big fan of the Heavy Machinery member. 

WrestleVotes wrote: "There have been multiple pitched ideas to remove the MITB briefcase from Otis & make the storyline a main focus again, some of which are really decent ideas I’ve been told. However, and this is a big however, Otis’ biggest fan is Vince. So right now, no go."
