Summary

Levi Cooper says he is fully retired from pro wrestling, but there is one scenario that could make him think about one more match.

Cooper, who WWE fans know as Tucker Knight, said during a virtual signing that he would consider coming back if he ever had the chance to team with Otis in Japan. He also made clear that the idea is more of a long-shot wish than an active plan, and said he would rather see Otis keep thriving in WWE.

Cooper retired from in-ring competition in 2024 after previous post-WWE appearances for Prestige Wrestling and DEFY. According to his comments, his focus now is on coaching high school wrestling, working in auto glass, and raising his two children.

Quote from Levi Cooper

"No. No. I don’t wrestle anymore at all… Yeah, yeah, retired. Would consider coming back, which I’ve said before, in a pipe dream, if someday, and I hope that the opportunity never presents itself and Otis will just continue to do his thing in WWE. That’s my brother. But, if we could go to Japan, that would be pretty awesome. I’ll be up for that."

Cooper later went on to say:

"No. No. I’m coaching high school wrestling, I’m doing Auto Glass, I’m taking care of my two kids so, that’s good from here."

What An Otis Reunion Would Mean

Any Tucker Knight return would only matter if Otis was part of it, which keeps the focus on the Heavy Machinery connection rather than a broader comeback. That makes this more of a sentimental update for WWE fans than a tease of a serious in-ring return.

It also says plenty about how Cooper still views that team. By framing Japan as the one place he would make an exception, he tied any possible comeback directly to sharing the ring with Otis again, not to restarting his career on the independent scene.
