Update On Mojo Rawley's Wrestling Future
Here's what Mojo Rawley has planned following his WWE release in April.
Former WWE wrestler Mojo Rawley doesn't intend on returning to professional wrestling in the immediate future.
Speaking with TMZ Sports, the former Hype Bro gave the impression that he won't be returning to the squared circle anytime soon and will instead be focusing on expanding his acting career (h/t 411Mania for the transcription):-
“But yeah, definitely going to get more into the acting space. I will return to the wrestling world, not immediately. We’re gonna hype that one up pretty good. Right now, we’re just gonna take this time and enjoy this freedom and do a little bit of everything; dabble and just set things up. You better believe when I come back to wrestling, it’s going to be hyped up, and it’s going to be a big surprise for everybody. That’s going to be a very, very exciting day for me.”
Though WWE didn't announce that it had released Rawley until 15 April, PWInsider reported a few days later that Mojo was actually let go in early March. It was stated at the time that the 34-year-old would be free to appear for other wrestling promotions from 31 May.
Rawley's acting career begins with a role in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, having appeared in the movie's trailer. The film comes out on 18 August.
It has now been over a year since Rawley last stepped foot into a wrestling ring, with the 19 June 2020 episode of SmackDown hosting his final WWE match - a loss to Shorty G.
