He is currently working for WWE under the ring name Otis, previously billed as Otis Dozovic. Bogojevic and Tucker Knight began teaming together in NXT, WWE’s developmental territory under the name “Heavy Machinery”, and the team was promoted to the Smackdown roster in late-2018. He was known for doing the “Caterpillar”, a variation of Scotty 2 Hotty’s “Worm” finisher.

In 2020, Otis claimed his first big achievement in WWE by winning Money In The Bank. After over five years in WWE, Otis claimed his first title, the Raw Tag Team Championship, with Chad Gable in early 2022. This was after the team turned heel and Otis adopted a more serious character.

Prior to his professional wrestling career, Bogojevic was a successful collegiate wrestler winning the 2009 Greco-Roman junior Nationals in his weight class, the national title in the 2011 Junior Pan-American Games and a bronze medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Pan-American Games and was a prospect for the 2012 Summer Olympics team but was not chosen. Bogojevic was voted the 2017 rookie of the year by the readers of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
