One of the most enjoyable storylines heading into WrestleMania 36 was the feud between lovable big man Otis and Dolph Ziggler, who conspired with Sonya Deville to spoil Otis’ Valentine’s Day plans with Mandy Rose. It sounds ridiculous, because it was, but it led to the feel-good moment of WrestleMania on Sunday night.
Near the end of the match, Deville distracted the referee from outside, allowing Ziggler to land a devastating low blow on Otis and take control of the match. Mandy Rose showed up at the perfect time, though, and retaliated with a slap to Deville.

Rose then hit a low blow on Ziggler, allowing Otis to finish him off with his signature caterpillar elbow drop.
Rose celebrated in the ring with Otis, and gave him a long-awaited kiss. It was a moment that would have caused a stadium full of people to explode with joy, but we’ll have to settle for reactions on Twitter.
BEST. #WRESTLEMANIA MOMENT. EVER. 💋@otiswwe @WWE_MandyRose pic.twitter.com/zqxQpwi22a

Starting a petition for 4/5 to be National Otis Day. It’s the right thing to do.
