#4 Where is Mojo Rawley?
Trending
There seems to be a curse with the winners of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, as all four men who have the won the battle royale have suffered significant drops just a few weeks after WrestleMania.
Cesaro seemed poised to be a huge star but fizzled out quickly. The Big Show’s stock went back to normal soon after his win, and Baron Corbin struggled for months without a serious feud to sink his teeth in.

The same appears to be happening to Mojo Rawley, who hasn’t even been making appearances on SmackDown for the past few weeks, let alone being put in any kind of position to succeed.
Why bother giving the big win to someone you have no plans on actually pushing? If you do want to give him a push, whose bright idea was it to have him spend the next month doing promotional side projects rather than wrestling and winning matches?
He has absolutely no presence advertised for Backlash whatsoever—not even a senseless match on the pre-show.
While Rawley doesn’t have the largest fanbase on the roster, nor the tenure, or the skill, if you ask most people, the sheer fact that he was given such a big WrestleMania moment should dictate that he has at least a few solid weeks of being a noteworthy star.
This could have been the catalyst to put Rawley into the midcard as a legitimate United States Championship contender, but all of that momentum has been draining since he’s been absent from television.
What is WWE’s plan for Rawley and how could the creative team possibly think this is going to benefit him in the long run, rather than having some sort of program to be featured in for the pay-per-view?
It’s too early to call this as a guarantee, but at the moment, it seems like the future for Rawley isn’t quite as bright as it appeared to be just a few weeks back.
