Is Mojo Rawley getting not terrible?

It was hard to spot for definite on this week's edition of Monday Night Raw as he cut a rather scathing promo against fellow NXT alumni No Way Jose, but the former Hype Bro's commentary on the futility of it all was a reminder of his occasional appeal.

This happened once before - Mojo was erudite and interesting when he spoke at length about his real life journey to the squared circle on oft-missed blue brand sister show Talking Smack - but his promised 'serious' didn't emerge in the weeks that followed or after his protracted heel turn on former partner Zack Ryder.

He hasn't looked troubled by the conga-line meathead in their current feud, and shouldn't do either. Jose is an absolute goof; the character is perhaps the first in history to be less than one-dimensional based on the fact that half the act is pilfered from prior failed effort Adam Rose anyway. If anybody could benefit from putting it out to pasture, it's Rawley. This wouldn't just help the former football star, either...
