Mandy Rose surprised Otis story line resonated so strongly

SI.com’s Week in Wrestling is published every week and provides beneath the surface coverage of the business of pro wrestling.

WrestleMania 36 will forever be remembered for its setting in an empty WWE Performance Center.

But there were some memorable wrestling moments, as well. Drew McIntyre finally captured the WWE championship and Charlotte Flair delivered a flawless performance that served as a reminder of her brilliance in the ring. And, of course, Mandy Rose and Otis united, exposing Sonya Deville and defeating Dolph Ziggler.

Had the match taken place as intended at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, the crowd would have exploded when Otis and Mandy finally had their moment together.
