We saw a fallout segment from Valentine’s Day date which was supposed to feature Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. Tucker confronted Mandy saying she broke hearts of Otis. Mandy seemed confused about whether it was fair to invite Ziggler as Otis was late to attend the date. The segment ended in confusion. Later Ziggler offered his car to drop Mandy making Otis furious.
"@WWE_MandyRose… you hurt my boy."
