Mojo Rawley Says I.R.S. Got Him WWE Job; Wants Gronkowski in WWE

Mojo Rawley was interviewed by ESPN and talked about being best friends with the Gronkowski family and how he got his opportunity in WWE because Mike Rotunda (Irwin R. Schyster) was roommates with Rob Gronkowski’s father. Rotunda is a road agent with WWE and of course is the father of Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas.

Rawley, whose real name is Dean Muhtadi, was a defensive lineman at Maryland and a teammate of Dan and Chris Gronkowski. By the time he graduated in 2009, he had become an extended part of the Gronkowski family.

“They’re my best friends,” Rawley said. “Big G, Papa Gronk — he calls me his sixth son, and I call him my second dad.

Dean Muhtadi would never have become Mojo Rawley had it not been for Gordon Gronkowski, who was college roommates with Mike Rotunda at Syracuse, where they both played football. Rotunda just so happens to be former WWE superstar I.R.S. (and the father of new WWE champion Bray Wyatt).

“Big G is how I got my job here,” Rawley said. “He knew I wanted to be here and I was always a fan, but I didn’t have any idea of how to actually get here. I just thought it was some unreachable, unattainable goal I had. I mean, how do you get to the WWE? Well, one day Big G and Mr. Rotunda had a conversation about me and Mr. Rotunda seemed intrigued by who I was, and a couple phone calls later I had my opportunity. I’ve always said just give me an opportunity and I’m going to make the most of it.”

Mojo also talked about the possibility of Rob Gronkowski having a role in WWE:

His goal is to one day have them be part of a match and maybe even convince Rob to get in the ring with him.

“Rob has been a fan of the WWE for a long time,” Rawley said. “Trust me, we’ve been talking about this for years and whenever the time is right and whenever the stars are aligned, I can tell you he will be raring to get over here. He’s fired up doing something with me here at WWE, and I can’t wait to have him. We’ve been dreaming about it for years”
