WWE News: Potential Reason Behind Mojo Rawley Turning Into a Heel

The Hype Bros had all the tools to be the champions on Smackdown Live. They were quite over with the crowd while being on the NXT roster. Their popularity was the main reason, as of why the creative team inserted them into the main roster during the brand split, last year.

They have done justice to the call-ups by getting included in the tag team championship picture, sooner.

But, the luck was not in their favour since the beginning owing to which they have never been able to become champions on NXT as well as on the main roster. Just when they became contenders and were likely to receive the push on Smackdown Live, Zack Ryder got hurt. The injured knee sidelined him for six long months and kept Mojo Rawley out of any relevance storylines.

Although he was the one to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, he could not earn the momentum by his side, going forward. Even when his partner was back onboard, they suffered a series of losses creating frustrations on Mojo Rawley. It led him to a heel-turn for the young superstar on Smackdown Live.

As we have witnessed on the show, two weeks ago, the former NXT star went on to deliver a massive assault to his buddy, Ryder following the loss at the hands of the Bludgeon Brothers. It confirmed the split up between the fan-favourite stars which foreseeable as per the earlier reports.

Mojo Rawley gave an interview to Smackdown host, Renee Young who asked him the reason behind this villainous turn where he unloaded the frustrations on his former partner. He revealed this is a new character where he would grab the bull by the horns.

For years now, Zack Ryder has been holding him down hiding his potential as a singles competitor. Now that he is out of the shadow of the former Intercontinental Champion, he expects to name a name for himself in the upcoming weeks. It was a pretty fuelled promo by the former NFL player. With this ongoing feud, it is supposed that we will see a match between these two superstars at Clash of Champions PPV.
