10 Worst WWE Wrestlers Of 2016

2. Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley is enthusiastic, exuberant, and clearly loves being a professional wrestler. His NXT call-up has given Zack Ryder something to do other than pushing up daisies in the Intercontinental Title division, and until Ryder’s injury, the duo were set to challenge for The Wyatt Family’s SmackDown Tag Team Titles. Unfortunately, these are about the nicest things you can say for Rawley, who was never particularly impressive in NXT, and looks even more out of place on the main roster.

Rawley is irritating to the extreme. His over-exuberant personality gets tedious after about 30 seconds of exposure, and the guy just doesn’t have an “off” switch. Mojo is that obnoxious, screaming child who sits behind you on a long haul flight and won’t stop kicking your chair throughout, and he doesn’t even have the in-ring chops to back it up.

The majority of Mojo’s offence consists of running really fast and bumping into his opponent, supplemented by that horrendous “Hammer Time” sitout axe handle. On-air, he’s a 30 year old man with the mindset of a pre-teen, and out of every wrestler to be called-up from NXT this year, Mojo would’ve benefited most from a longer stint in developmental. He’s nothing more than an annoyance at this point, and Ryder’s injury leaves his immediate future up in the air.
