It’s a simple deal: Beat people up, get over.

Mojo Rawley has been floundering for what seems like forever, but he’s turned a corner of sorts recently, winning the 24/7 Championship and pledging to defend it rather than running and hiding from everyone. He did just that Monday night, facing No Way Jose in the ring and wiping him out in seconds.

Rawley also was smart in bringing NXT superstar Riddick Moss up with him to serve as his backup, a guy to watch his blindside. Unfortunately, Moss missed the hamburger from the conga line, who rolled up Mojo to capture the 24/7 title. It turned out to be R-Truth, but he didn’t get far.

Riddick stopped him from leaving, and Rawley quickly regained the title. Perfectly acceptable filler, and it gives Rawley (and now Moss) something to do.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
