Tucker fascinates me in terms of opportunity - he's not a guy that's going to be able milk his WWE career for much on the nostalgia circuit, because he doesn't have much value in that regard without Otis. Nor is he going to immediately have major promotions clamoring to book him aside from AEW Dark-esque enhancement matches.
We don't know what Tucker outside of WWE looks like, because I don't think he's wrestled anywhere else. But if he still wants to wrestle he's someone who strikes me as more than talented and capable enough to reinvent himself and prove his worth elsewhere
I can see him either pulling a Thomas Santell and completely transforming himself on the indies, or else having a good run as an import somewhere like NOAH or one of the smaller Japanese promotions. There's just something about him that makes me think we haven't seen his best yet.
