In a shocking turn of events, the unlikely duo of Otis and Akira Tozawa stormed onto the WWE scene, earning a crucial victory on the January 26, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw. The team’s impressive triumph in the four-way tag team match has catapulted them into a coveted title opportunity, setting their sights on the WWE World Tag Team Championship currently held by The Usos.
Speaking exclusively to this publication, Akira Tozawa opened up about the team’s journey and the challenges they’ve overcome to reach this milestone. “It’s been a long time coming, and I’m grateful to have Otis by my side,” Tozawa said with a hint of determination. “We’ve worked tirelessly to build our chemistry and establish ourselves as a force to be reckoned with in the tag team division. This opportunity is a testament to our hard work and dedication, and we’re ready to make the most of it.”
The Making of a Power Couple
The partnership between Otis and Tozawa has been a gradual build-up, with the two wrestlers initially pitting their skills against each other in a series of singles matches. However, as the days went by, it became increasingly apparent that they meshed well together, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses in the process.
According to sources close to WWE, the idea of pairing Otis and Tozawa was conceived by WWE’s top creative minds, who saw potential in the contrasting styles of the two wrestlers. “It’s not every day you see a 300-pound powerhouse like Otis paired with a high-flying, quick-witted competitor like Tozawa,” a WWE insider revealed. “But they’ve proven themselves to be a formidable team, and their chemistry has been undeniable. The Usos better be ready for a fight.”
The Usos: A Formidable Challenge Ahead
The Usos, widely regarded as one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history, will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge facing Otis and Tozawa as they strive for the WWE World Tag Team Championship.

We’re not just seeking a title shot; we’re seeking to prove ourselves as the best tag team in the WWE.”
