Rob Gronkowski's run in WWE could be labeled as fun yet bizarre. As a lifelong wrestling fan, Gronk first appeared on WWE TV during WrestleMania 33 when he made a cameo at the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

At the show, Gronk helped Mojo Rawley win the battle royal and immediately made an impact on his first WWE appearance.

In 2020, Gronk went on to host WrestleMania 36, held behind closed doors at the WWE Performance Center. And, much to everyone's surprise, Gronk even won the WWE 24/7 Championship on the second day of the event. So much so, Gronk even went on to enjoy the longest reign with the 24/7 title before losing it to R-Truth.

However, despite all the success in such a short period of time, Gronk was quietly released from WWE the same year. Several reports also suggested that he had major heat backstage with the company. But, the recent Slammy Award winner is still regarded as a Superstar on WWE.com.
