The former Hype Bro Mojo Rawley is currently assigned to the Raw brand and he has been floundering recently on the main roster. He has also previously been on Smackdown, where he managed to win The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 33.

Over the last few weeks on Raw, we have seen segments from Rawley which suggest a potential character change is on the cards for him.

Rawley also played in the NFL for two years, but he has a very long background of playing amateur football in college as well.

He played for the Green Bay Packers briefly as a Defensive End and Nose Guard. The Arizona Cardinals is another team that Rawley has played for.

However, Rawley then got injured during a camp in training. This led to Rawley spending 18 months to rehabilitate from his injury before he signed with the WWE in 2012 after deciding he wanted to be a professional wrestler.
