Otis says it's on.
On the August 12th episode of WWE Raw, Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) faced American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed). During Alpha Academy's entrance, Otis got into a brief staredown with NXT North American Champion Oba Femi, who was shown in the crowd.
In a digital exclusive, Otis was asked about his staredown with Oba Femi. He then accepted Femi's open challenge for a title match on the August 13th episode of NXT.
“Oba, how ya doing? I’m Otis. That 20 pounds of gold on your shoulder sure looks damn good. If there’s one thing that people know out there, it’s I’m one mean [grunts] mother. I’m coming for you. Tomorrow night, open challenge for the North American Championship, oh yes, it’s big Otis versus Oba. Oh, yeah!" Otis said.
As of this writing, WWE has yet to confirm the match. Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
