Mojo Rawley had hinted at a potential in-ring return in the past. His last wrestling match occurred in 2020 against Shorty G (now Chad Gable) on SmackDown.

“It’s been three years I believe, three and a half almost since I wrestled my last match in WWE. I’ve had the itch for a long time to go back. I have been plotting it. There has been some awesome offers. I just gotta find the one the makes the most sense. There’s a lot going on these days but I do miss it a lot,” Rawley shared.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Rawley’s potential return to in-ring action after his hiatus from professional wrestling.
