10 Candidates For WWE's Bizarre Post-WrestleMania 36 Push

7. Mojo Rawley

This is a statistical inevitability more than it is a prediction.

WWE wants Mojo Rawley to be a star - he's a massive unit who can talk - they just aren't quite how to go about it. They try, frequently. Over the last 12 months, Mojo Rawley has searched deep into his reflection for the recipe to success, and arrived at the answer "Luna Vachon's make-up". He was managed by Sami Zayn for a hot minute. When they shared the same frame, it was the IRL version of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Hotline Bling meme. They then paired him with Riddick Moss before milk cartons were 3D printed in his memory.

When Rob Gronkowski turned up, Mojo reverted to his old incredibly enthusiastic self. They clowned around and acted like a pair of complete tossers when ganging up on people, and this being WWE, they were of course the babyfaces.

This residual Gronk Dust will likely result in another mini-push for Rawley, particularly since his brand of exuberance isn't the worst idea to dominate screens in this eerie empty gym era.
