Levi Cooper (Tucker Knight) Says He’d Come Out Of Retirement To Team With Otis In Japan

Levi Cooper explains why he hopes the opportunity never arises.

It was back in the fall of 2024 that Levi Cooper broke the news that he was retiring from in-ring competition. Cooper, formerly known as Tucker Knight in WWE, was with the sports entertainment company from 2013 to 2021.

He is often associated with his time as a member of Heavy Machinery with current WWE talent Otis.

Cooper did a virtual signing with K & S WrestleFest and stated that he’d come out of retirement to team with Otis in Japan. He added that he hopes the opportunity never arises, as he wants Otis to remain with WWE.

“No. No,” Cooper responded when asked if he is still wrestling for DEFY. “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.” The host mentioned that Cooper is not officially retired, and he interjected with, “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.”

Post-WWE, Cooper wrestled for Prestige Wrestling and DEFY. His last match was in June 2023.
