Former WWE star and a former seven times WWE 24/7 champion Mojo Rawley recently gave his honest opinion on if he thought he would survive this round of cuts made by WWE recently. He also thanked WWE for all the opportunities he got from the promotion.
After the covid-19 pandemic struck the world of professional wrestling, every promotion is going through massive losses. This is one of the biggest reasons promotions are being forced to release their big stars. Only this year WWE has released over 30 of their big names.
Mojo Rawley Gives His Honest Opinion On If He Thought He Could Survive WWE’s Budget Cut
One of the most shocking names that WWE has released this year has to be Aleister Black. The wrestler was praised a lot by fans and critics, he was involved in a recent storyline as well. Just after two weeks of him returning to Smackdown and attacking Big E, he was released. This was not only shocking but quite clueless as well.
Another shocking name that has been released by WWE recently has to be Braun Strowman. The man is a former world champion and WWE has always seen him as an unstoppable force. Nobody saw this coming.
The former seven times WWE 24/7 champion Mojo Rawley was recently featured as a guest on Insight With Chris Van Vliet where he gave his honest opinion on if he thought he would survive this round of cuts made by WWE. He said;
“Truth be told there’s some other stuff going on there. All I can say is I’m grateful to have been with the company as long as I was. I mean putting in almost a decade, that’s a hell of a run. Truthfully I am happy it happened. It was time for a change. Sometimes you never want to be the one to necessarily initiate that, but you needed it to happen. It was a thought that was going through my head for a while.
“Let’s give this another year or two, if this amounts to nothing, or very little, then yeah it is time for a change. I am going to turn 35 shortly. If I am thinking about starting another industry, the more you wait, the less is on the table. I got pigeonholed a lot as being this big hyped up guy that very much did a lot outside of the ring.
“I was one of the few guys they used for the community service drives. There aren’t a lot of guys in the company that can do those. I know that Titus O’Neil is the poster boy for that stuff. Honestly in my opinion I think Titus is one of the top 3 most valuable people in all of WWE.
“I know that might come of a shock to some people, but we got tons of guys that can wrestle. Almost everyone on the roster can put on a hell of match. But how many guys can go out there and make change and bring in a new fanbase from all of the promos that he does.
“There is no one that does more in that space than Titus. I felt like I was used for both, but again, sometimes those guys don’t get the big Roman Reigns career. But sometimes change needs to happen, whether it comes from you or them.”
