Released WWE Star Reveals Name Idea That Was Instantly Rejected

In the world of professional wrestling a good name can go a long way, and that logic applies to more than just WWE Superstars. Over the years a number of wrestlers have given names to their fanbase such as Hulk Hogan with the Hulkamaniacs, and Chris Jericho with the Jerichoholics to name a few. It looks like Mojo Rawley had the same idea during his run with WWE, but his idea was not embraced by the people in charge.

Recently Mojo Rawley took to Twitter to explain that at one point he pitched an idea to name his fans “Raw Dawgs” and he also noted that the pitch was quickly declined as soon as it was brought up.

“When I was wrestling as Mojo Rawley, I made a pitch to name my following “Raw Dawgs.” I would come to the ring and say “Where my Raw Dawgs at?” The pitch was declined before I could even finish the sentence.”

Mojo Rawley, real name Dean Muhtadi, decided to join WWE in 2012 and he went on to debut with the NXT brand in 2013. He worked as a singles competitor for some time before he formed The Hype Bros. with Zack Ryder. The team went on to work in NXT and on the main roster before disbanding in 2017.

As a singles competitor Mojo Rawley managed to win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and he’s also a seven time WWE 24/7 Champion. He was released from the company in 2021.
