Former WWE star Mojo Rawley had previously hinted at an in-ring return

Mojo Rawley's last pro wrestling match took place in 2020 when he faced Shorty G (now Chad Gable) on SmackDown.

In an interview with SEScoops, the 37-year-old expressed his eagerness to return to the ring, mentioning that he has received some 'awesome' offers. He added that he is carefully considering the right moment to make a decision.

There has been some awesome offers. I just gotta find the one the makes the most sense. There's a lot going on these days but I do miss it a lot," Rawley said.
