Mojo Rawley Reveals What Advice Fandango Gave Him About WWE
Rawley is one of the home-grown talents of WWE who did not get enough opportunities in the promotion. He worked in WWE for nearly nine years and in this long period of time, he only managed to win the Andre the Giant Memorial battle Royal in 2017 which is never been a very big deal, and the WWE 24/7 Championship which is mostly known as a comedy title.
Earlier this year, WWE decided to release him. He got released along with so many other talents that had to be sacrificed by WWE because of the terrible covid-19 pandemic. Nearly 50 workers along with wrestler and non wrestling personnel and had been released by WWE because of this situation. Rawley was one of the unfortunate ones.
Since leaving WWE back in 2021, Mojo aka Dean Muhtadi was not seen in any professional wrestling ring. There are rumors of him returning to WWE soon and also he was rumored to be speaking to the AEW.
Mojo Rawley who was also a former seven times WWE 24/7 champion recently spoke to the Undisputed Podcast where he revealed the advice that Fandango gave him about making it to WWE and smoothly continue his WWE run. He said;
“Fandango actually gave me some of the best advice I have ever gotten in the business. He was just saying, ‘it’s not about who wins the most titles and who has the best runs, it’s about who can last the longest. How long can you survive?’ You might be a jobber in the most embarrassing way for two, three, five, six years, but eventually fans are going to notice that, respect the fact that you hung in.
“The office is going to see that, they’re going to appreciate it and know they have a soldier on their hands, and you will eventually get your run. if you look at all the guys that were fired and came back, and their first run was a joke, for lack of a better term, and their second run was everything that you could have possibly dreamed of.
“It’s a testament to that of just rolling with it. We’re getting paid to travel the world with our buddies and joke around and pretend to fight in our underwear. Even if you’re a job guy, this is still a great gig.”
