6 Great NXT Performers That Have No Chance In WWE

5. Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley is a relentless ball of energy whose mere presence in the NXT Arena gets fans excited. Say what you will about his actual wrestling ability (which is limited) or the believability of his maneuvers (which aren't all that believable), Mojo brings energy that gets the people going in Full Sail. He doesn't get hyped, he stays hyped, and chances are that if you are present in that arena during a Mojo Rawley match, you will be at least a little bit energized by the hype machine that is Mojo Rawley. Conventional wisdom would suggest that Rawley is then a pretty good fit for the main roster, specifically for those long 3 hour Raw shows, where some segments can drag on and eventually suck any energy the crowd may have had out of them. Mojo could be the answer for that; simply insert him into what you anticipate could be an emotional lull for the program and boom, he's an instant energizer that will bring the crowd back up. If you think that, you'd be wrong. While it's true that Raw can tend to drag because of it's length, it is also true that the WWE Universe at large are a rather unforgiving lot as opposed to their more forgiving Full Sail sub-section. They are unforgiving of stupidity, they are unforgiving of guys that they don't think deserve a push getting one, and they are certainly unforgiving of empty energy. At the end of the day Mojo is empty energy. He has no substance to his character, and without being an impressive in-ring talent he will peter out in no time on the main roster, especially under the current incarnation of the character.
