#7 Where is Mojo Rawley?

Winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is usually a stepping stone for a breakout wrestler or reigniting the flame of a seasoned professional, and most of them have followed up with a very solid year. Cesaro captured the Tag Team Championships with Tyson Kidd, Baron Corbin managed to be on the main pay-per-view show five times (including a WWE championship main event at Elimination Chamber 2017), and Matt Hardy re-captured Tag Team Gold since winning the most recent edition at WrestleMania 34.

However, Mojo Rawley is the only wrestler that has yet to fulfil his potential from winning such an honor. Despite his success at WrestleMania 33 in April 2017, he has failed to be on the main card at any pay-per-view in the following twelve months. Of the four pre-shows he has been on, he’s lost three of them.

The irony to all of this is the person he last eliminated at WrestleMania 33 was Jinder Mahal, someone who eventually went to capture the WWE Championship.

However, between the months of May-July this year, there appeared to be some sort of resurgence as Rawley defeated both Tyler Breeze and No Way Jose a few times, and even answered Seth Rollins’ Intercontinental Championship open challenge despite coming up short. However, despite the fact that Rawley was on a roll around the summer of this year, he has yet to appear in a match on Raw in the last few months.

WWE usually has a solid formula for wrestlers that are on a roll on the weekly shows, with most of them ending up holding titles – examples from this year include the Bludgeon Brothers and AoP both having captured championships. What doesn’t usually happen is a wrestler on a roll to suddenly not get any further screen time.

The fact that Rawley hasn’t been confirmed with a real-life injury or any potential contract dispute leaves us with the question of ‘Where is Mojo Rawley?’
