10 Mistakes WWE Made With WrestleMania 33
10. Mojo Rising
Originally, WWE was planning on promoting Shaquille O'Neal versus The Big Show at WrestleMania 33, a bout that was sure to get the show featured in mainstream media outlets. That match ultimately fell apart due to money issues, but WWE wasn't ready to give up on getting clips of the show on ESPN.
Instead of Shaq, they reached out to Rob Gronkowski. Gronk played a role in the WrestleMania kickoff show, helping his former teammate Mojo Rawley win the Andre battle royal. It worked, in the sense that it got the much-sought-after coverage - but did it really do anything for WWE in the long run?
Mojo is a fun babyface, but he hasn't shown any of the potential that a future main-event star should. Meanwhile, Braun Strowman - who's been booked as a monster and has improved greatly - was tossed out, as was Sami Zayn. Either of those men could have been given a win that would have served as the impetus for a real push, but instead, the whole match was wasted for a media op.
