Also, what the f*ck was that cross-brand pollination all about?

Mojo Rawley showed up on SmackDown despite being a Raw superstar, and WWE's writers didn't even try to acknowledge it. They would've been excused had Mojo uttered just one line about special circumstances bringing him to Fridays, but no - the guy with Raw in his bloody name hyped up a rival show like he'd been there every week.

There was so much wrong with this; Rawley, who does know the soon-to-debut Rob Gronkowski in real life, will appear on SmackDown again next week. Not only that, Mojo also acted like his old Hype Bros self and goofed around with Michael Cole and Triple H. Has he turned babyface just because Gronk is incoming?

Rawley didn't talk about invading SmackDown, he didn't talk about his apparently-abandoned story with Riddick Moss or the 24/7 Title and he didn't even look the same as he does over on Mondays. It was as though he'd just beamed in from 2016.
