With the aid of his good friend, Rob Gronkowski, Mojo Rawley won the coveted Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy at Wrestlemania in Orlando. Unfortunately, his victory was in vain, as all the momentum he had gained with the victory was squashed due to bad booking.
This week, he was pitted in a match against WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, and quite rightly, lost to the Modern Day Maharaja. Every week, he loses momentum as he is treated as little more than enhancement talent, really.

Wouldn’t it have been better served to award the trophy to someone like Sami Zayn or Braun Strowman who could have actually benefited from it?
