How Mojo Rawley got into Snake Eyes film, Andre Battle Royal, Gronk more notes (Patreon)

Mojo Rawley appears in the upcoming GI Joe Snake Eyes film. We're told that he got the opportunity when producers contacted WWE and specifically asked for him. He didn't have to read for the film, audition, and said that he loved the experience of working on the set. He noted that he's also seeking out an agent and will be doing more acting.

Rawley said that he was given the same reasoning of budget cuts as part of his release, but said there's more to it that he will get into at a later time. He also indicated that he's not opposed to doing work with WWE in the future, specifically with Gronk.

Speaking of Gronk, Mojo Rawley said that now infamous spot with Gronkowski diving, and Vince McMahon showing him how to do it was a highly debated spot. Rawley said that Matt Bloom was constantly assuring both Rawley and Gronkowski that it'd be safe, but after signing a new deal to return to the NFL, both Tom Brady and Drew Rosenhaus were on the phone with Gronk during the process, which was said to have been really drawn out. After Vince McMahon took an even tougher bump onto a crash pad without anyone catching him, Mojo told Gronk "well, you have to now."

Rawley told us about his reuniting with Matt Cardona at Capitol Punishment being kept a big secret because WWE was very cautious about leaks at the time. Cardona actually didn't know the plan was to reunite them until Rawley sent him a text message to inform him of the plans.

Rawley didn't know he'd be winning the Andre battle Royal until a few days before, and he pitched for Gronk to come in after once it was clear he'd be winning
