10 Worst Times Celebrities Got Physical In Wrestling
10. Hi Rob! Bye Rob!
The word that best sums up Rob Gronkowski's WWE career? Worthless.
Gronk's first flash in the WWE pan occurred at Wrestlemania, where he helped real-life buddy Mojo Rawley win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Unfortunately, like so many modern WWE moments this went nowhere. Gronk went straight back to the NFL, and these days Mojo Rawley is more likely to be seen on the back of a milk carton than on WWE programming.
However, Rob made the bold step from "pointless" to "detrimental" when he won the 24/7 Championship. Rob's reign as champion essentially pulled the plug on the already-struggling belt, as he disappeared with it for three months before re-emerging on WWE TV to drop it before he returned to his day job in the NFL.
Still, given Gronkowski's abysmal performance as Wrestlemania host (imagine that one guy at a party who wants everyone to know how "hyped" he is to be there), it's probably a good thing he spent as little time on-screen as he did.
Thanks for trying, Rob, but not every celebrity can be like Pat McAfee. Most just end up being an Art Donovan.
