10 Wrestling Characters Which Just Aren’t Working Right Now
10. Mojo Rawley
Current Character: HYYYYYYYYYYPE!
There was a time when Mojo Rawley looked as though he was about to have a rocket strapped to his back in the wake of his Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal victory at 'Mania 33, but all that hope - or 'HYPE!' - soon evaporated and he spent the next two years wandering around the mid-card aimlessly.
WWE did try changing up Rawley's gimmick in 2019, yet his weird mirror promos and blue lightening/veins on his face were dropped after a few months. He's currently back to his 'HYPE!' life and it's honestly excruciating to watch Rawley resorting to childish physical comedy and flailing around like a brightly coloured fish out of water whenever he pops up on TV.
The 'HYPE!' must end.
Future Character: Enforcer
Vince McMahon seems to be forever high on Rawley so don't expect the company to give up on him any time soon.
It tends to be going well for the former American Football player until he opens his mouth and starts nonsensically screaming about being 'HYPED!' Perhaps making him a silent enforcer for someone like Baron Corbin could add some legitimacy to both himself and the resident 'King' of SmackDown.
At the very least, keep him and Gronk as far away from each other as possible.
