10 More Superstars That Will Follow Dean Ambrose Out Of WWE

2. Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley was neither hyped nor hyper-serious as he b*llocked the mirror for his failings on the post-Royal Rumble edition of Monday Night Raw, but neither the promo or the receptacle were particularly magic.

WWE is no fairytale - they've proved that enough already with their David Vs Goliath battles - and Mojo would do well to realise that before the wide open window for talents begins to close shut when 2019's ever-shifting landscape takes a solid shape.

He's not exactly been robbed of opportunities over the last few years, but it's been hard to see what exactly Mojo offers to a roster that doesn't really seem bothered about having him.

Troublingly, this was the exact same problem Triple H had in NXT before he was able to offload him in 2016 - a Hype Bros unit with Zack Ryder was a make-good for both men, but they were serviceable card-fillers in Full Sail at best, let alone on the most talent-rich main roster in company history.

He may not be All Elite Wrestling's dream zeitgeist choice, or even on the level of most New Japan Pro Wrestling signees, but wrestling's a work - time for Rawley to fake it 'til he makes it.
