#4 Mojo Rawley

Enter capti — Mojo Rawley has been all "HYPE" so far

When I first saw Mojo Rawley perform in NXT, I thought he would never make it to the main roster. Needless to say, I was very surprised to see him get the call-up, courtesy of the brand extension.

Despite having a gimmick centered around being and staying hype, Rawley still lacks some simple, fundamental attributes which separate him from being considered a legitimate WWE Superstar, instead of being looked at like a complete joke.

Rawley came to the company after a lifetime of devotion to the game of American football. He was such a hustler as a football player and really became the ultimate over-achiever. He transferred to the University of Maryland, from a Division 3 school and, after proving himself to the coaching staff, he would actually earn a full scholarship. Rawley entered the NFL as an undrafted free-agent but saw very little playing time before ending up on the injured reserve list to finish his career.

Mojo Rawley is an obnoxious on-screen moniker. However, he is also a very passionate athlete who wants to win everything. Unfortunately for him, I just don't believe professional wrestling is the proper platform to give Mojo that chance.
