7 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Raw (Jan 20)

2. Mojo A Fighting Champion

Give Mojo Rawley credit for walking the talk Monday night.

Rawley won the 24/7 Championship last week, pinning an injured R-Truth after Brock Lesnar hit an F-5 on him. Mojo then proclaimed that he wouldn’t run from any challenger. He backed that up Monday night, when he said that the title has been held by cowards who run at the first sign of trouble.

Then the Bollywood Boys tried to distract Mojo and get a rollup victory, only for Rawley to batter the brothers and walk off.

It was a simple segment, but it did more for Mojo than anything WWE has done in the past year. So kudos to them.
