Now, being the RAW tag team champions, Otis and Gable are open to new challenges and new opponents to defend their titles.

In a backstage interview, with Kevin Patrick post the show on RAW Talk, Patrick asked Otis how was he feeling after the victory, he said, “Like I said, 2022 everything that is coming for the Alpha Academy is pure carnage. Bring it up.”

The Otis we are seeing isn’t the jolly person we have seen him in NXT and in SmackDown with Tucker. This is the new Otis who will break your jaw if you mess with him. Training with Gable has surely made him a different wrestler.

Gable also addressed Kevin saying how they deserved a championship and now both are standing here as RAW tag team champions. Both wrestlers seemed very proud to add this victory to their achievements list.
