At Wrestlemania, fans were witness to the annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. While winning the annual battle royal hasn't meant all that much for the winner, it was suggested that it was going to mean something for this year's winner.

After outside interference by Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots, Rawley eliminated JinderMahal to capture the win. It was a great moment for Rawley, who had been mostly on the shelf due to the injury to his Hype Bros tag team partner Zack Ryder.

However, after capturing the win, Rawley was essentially kept off of television for what seemed like months. His character had no feuds and no direction. It just seemed as though he was stuck in some sort of Smackdown Live booking limbo.

The return of Ryder has seen the team reunite, but the fact remains that for a period of time fans didn't seem much if any of Mojo in singles action. It wouldn't have hurt him to have been used as part of some elimination matches, or even in smaller feuds, but fans not only didn't get hyped, they didn't see hyped either.
