Speaking on his YouTube channel, Otunga claimed that he and the creative weren’t able to find something productive for him on the weekly product, which affected his career. The 45-year-old actor claimed he put in the work as a performer, but they couldn’t agree at the time.

Moreover, he added Vince McMahon played a role in it, as McMahon viewed him as an announcer and wanted to push him in that direction. Otunga also claimed he came up with creative ideas and even discussed them with Triple H, who tried to help him, but it ultimately didn’t happen.

“Now, did Scott [Armstrong] put in a good word for me? Who knows. But it wasn’t the ring work holding me up, it was the creative, and that was the thing, we just couldn’t come to an agreement on creative at the time. So, that’s what we were trying to get worked out. The thing of it is once Vince [McMahon] sees you in a certain way, it’s hard to change his mind. At that point, he was really viewing me as an announcer,” Otunga said.

David Otunga has won titles in WWE

While David Otunga never won a singles championship in the Stamford-based promotion, he was often used in popular storylines on the weekly product. Right from his debut, he was in The Nexus and won the WWE Tag Team Championship with John Cena.

The following year, he won the titles again as a member of The New Nexus with Michael McGillicutty, aka Curtis Axel. In the coming years, the 45-year-old star moved away from the title picture and eventually became an on-screen character before getting released in 2020.
