Bio

After becoming well known to followers of reality TV and American tabloids, David Otunga made his name famous as one of the first NXT Rookies. First coming to prominence as part of the VH1 reality show I Love New York 2, Otunga has since become better known as the fiancé of Grammy- and Academy Award–winning actress Jennifer Hudson.

As anyone confronted with Otunga’s impressive physique can testify, the competitor has more than his fair share of brawn and good looks, but he backs up these natural gifts with a powerful intelligence, as exemplified by his degree from Harvard Law School.

A fan of lavish vacations, Hollywood parties, and seeing his face in People and Us Weekly, the self-proclaimed “Kanye West of WWE” stands to get a lot more of his favorite things as part of WWE.

The runner-up of WWE NXT season one, Otunga joined the winner, Wade Barrett, and his fellow season one Rookies to form The Nexus.

The group came to Raw upset over their treatment on NXT and were out to ensure they would all receive WWE contracts. When The Nexus was finally granted contracts, Otunga not only became an official WWE Superstar, but he elevated his A-list status even further.

Breakdown

When David Otunga gets hit, it hurts. His Strike Defense is 60 and his Grapple Defense is even worse at 55—he’s tied for second worst in the game, barely edging out announcer and DLC Superstar Jim Ross, who posts a 50.

Most everyone in the game will have the mathematical advantage over David Otunga when it comes to chopping down his HP. Pair that up with reversals being very difficult—the timeframe is slight on Legend difficulty—and playing with him will be a real test.

Time running grapples on your opponents as they stand up to maximize his 80 Grapple Power. Hammer Throw opponents out of the ring so you can taunt to boost momentum.
