Mojo Rawley recently appeared as special guest on the Straight Shooting podcast with Matt Rehwoldt (f.k.a. Aiden English) and discussed about several topics. While speaking, Mojo Rawley revealed that Gronkowski supposed to have couple of matches following WrestleMania 36 at Summer Slam and Saudi Arabia.
“What we wanted to do is set up multiple pay-per-view matches, like a program with him,” Rawley said. “SummerSlam was going to be in Boston that year, so we were gonna have some fun at ‘Mania. We had a few different plans for that. I think it was gonna lead into a tag match at SummerSlam and then probably set something up with me and him for after. I think the plan was to do one in Saudi Arabia.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)

Mojo Rawley also stated that Rob Gronkowski wasn’t going to be a full-time but wanted to do more than just keep talking. He also added that Gronkowski willing to train for a month at Performance Center in Orlando, Florida before his debut.
“That was the original plan and then from there who knows what it goes into,” Rawley added. “I knew he wasn’t going to be full-time but I knew he also wasn’t gonna come in and just do like, ‘Alright, I’ll give you one RAW leading up to a pay-per-view and then that’s it.’ He wanted to do more than that, and he just kept talking about, ‘You know, if I’m gonna do this, I wanna do this right. I wanna fly down to Orlando for like a month and I wanna train every single day.’”
