Rob Gronkowski is helping his friend and WWE superstar Mojo Rawley prepare for Wrestlemania by slapping the ever-loving crap out of him.
Why is Rob Gronkowski slapping the heck out of WWE superstar Mojo Rawley?
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
In case you’ve missed sports’ most-likely friendship, the shirtless man is Mojo Rawley. He wrestles on WWE Smackdown and his real name is Dean Muhtadi. He played football for the University of Maryland before signing with the Green Bay Packers in 2009 and then the Arizona Cardinals before his football career ended.
Muhtadi became Mojo Rawley and worked his way up through NXT, WWE’s developmental division, using his over-the-top energy and athleticism to win over the crowd.
Now Rawley and Gronk are BFFs because they share the same life philosophy. Gronk likes to party and Mojo, well ...
Rawley loves to party and scream and scream about partying and yelling the word “hype” a lot. It’s as if he and Gronk were separated at birth, or that he’s the missing Gronk brother. It’s all so perfect and with his BFF in his corner, Rawley might just have a chance of winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale at Wrestlemania.
