WWE Brand Split 2016: 10 Wrestlers Who Must Stay In NXT

7. Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley might be the most stagnant wrestler in NXT today. His “Hype Bros” allegiance with Zack Ryder removed his rapidly-declining prospects as a singles wrestler and injected a competitive new team into the burgeoning NXT tag division, but the likes of American Alpha and The Revival have long since passed them by in the pecking order.

Stagnation aside, Rawley’s character is just plain annoying. The constant hooting, hollering, and “hype” grates quickly and all that shouting can’t hide his lack of natural charm and charisma, plus there’s never been anything special about his in-ring performances.

Unless WWE look to call the Hype Bros up to compete with The Ascension at the tag division’s bottom rung, there’s little use for Mojo Rawley on the main roster.
