Former WWE Star Tucker Retires From Pro Wrestling

Former WWE star Tucker, best remembered for his Heavy Machinery tag team with Otis, has retired from professional wrestling.

Writing on X (formerly Twitter), Sportskeeda's Dr. Chris Featherstone broke the news following a conversation with Tucker, whose real name is Levi Cooper.

"I just spoke with former WWE star Tucker of fka Heavy Machinery. He said that he has retired from professional wrestling and does not plan to return. He currently is a high school wrestling coach & raising his two kids. Best wishes", he wrote. Cooper signed with WWE in 2013 and began performing for the NXT brand in 2015 (as Tucker Knight).

Heavy Machinery formed in 2016 and were brought up to the main roster in 2019. They broke up in 2020 after Otis won the Money in the Bank briefcase, after which Tucky floundered and was released in April 2021. Post-WWE, Cooper wrestled for the DEFY Wrestling promotion, with his last match taking place in June 2023.

Tucker later claimed that Heavy Machinery didn't win a set of tag titles during their WWE run because they were able to get over on their own.
