WWE superstar Mojo Rawley is glad that the tag team The Hype Bros., in which he teamed up with Zack Ryder, is over, feeling that the gimmick was something that neither man really wanted to do.
“He didn’t want to do it, I didn’t want to do it, but we weren’t gonna say no. W’re not gonna turn down an opportunity” Rawley said, during an appearance on Lillian Garcia’s ‘Chasing Glory’ podcast. “We both looked at it. You don’t know when these [opportunities] are gonna come across. Here’s two guys that are literally polar opposites. He had the path that I didn’t have.”
“I think we reached the point that there was no more that could be done with that tag team” Rawley added. “Even though we didn’t accomplish much, I don’t think there was much more to learn from one another.”
“We didn’t really like how the Hype Bros turned out” Rawley added. “‘Stay Hype’ all of a sudden kind of became ‘oh, I’m always energetic. I’m always laughing. I’m always making jokes.’ It ruined my identity, I felt like,” Rawley said.
“I don’t know how we got to that point, when I noticed that it was going down that path, I felt like it was too late. It was something to this day that I hate. I hate that. [Ryder] started to feel that way too with where this tag team was going. The day that team died, careerwise, was one of the best things that could have happened to us.”
