10 Wrestlers WWE Gave Up On In 2020

Mojo seemed to have it made during WrestleMania season.

He was chumming around with new WWE pet project Rob Gronkowski, and finally had some purpose after months and months of staring into a mirror. Sure, he was in the lowly 24/7 Title division, but he had also aligned with a rising star who boasted significant crossover appeal.

The dream didn't last. 'Gronk' decided that he'd rather return to Tom Brady's side - he signed a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, left pro wrestling behind for NFL goodness and that was that. The unfortunate knock-on effect of this is that Mojo Rawley has struggled to get any TV time whatsoever since the big man departed.

Mojo can't be hyped for his current plight. He's been discarded to the back of the line and hasn't been seen since jobbing to the then-Shorty G in June. What's more, it's tough to see where Rawley would fit in without yet another repackage job.
