WWE Superstar Otis Makes In-Ring Return During TripleMania XXXIII

Otis is back in action.

Triplemanía XXXIII took place on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The event opened with the Bardahl Cup battle royal, and one of the biggest stories of the night when it comes to WWE was the return of Otis.

Otis entered the match in the ninth spot, making his AAA debut. The super heavyweight had been out of action since May 5, when he wrestled Rusev on WWE RAW.

The former Alpha Acaedmy star underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery during that time, which kept him off the active roster. His appearance in Mexico marked his first match back since the procedure. This was a big surprise for fans, to say the least. A bigger surprise was when Microman was able to eliminate him via pinfall.

Otis’ comeback adds to the growing crossover between WWE and AAA, as both companies continue to share talent on major shows. We will have to see how WWE is able to re-work Otis into things, but he certainly seemed ready to rumble in Mexico.
