• Vince McMahon No Longer Interested In Pushing RAW Wrestler
As we noted before, Wrestling Observer reported that WWE officials have given up on RAW wrestler No Way Jose.
No Way Jose hasn’t been seen on RAW for a while now and this is a bad sign. To make things even worse, Jose lost to Mike Kanellis prior to this week’s RAW during the WWE Main Event taping.
Jose worked the WWE RAW Live Event in Canada this past Sunday and lost to Jinder Mahal.
Jose was last seen on RAW on the July 9 edition of the show, where he lost a match to Mojo Rawley.
With that being said, Mojo Rawley was getting a slow push on RAW which began with him defeating No Way Jose.
However, it looks like Vince McMahon isn’t interested in pushing Mojo anymore either.
Wrestling Observer noted that Mojo lost to Tyler Breeze (who’s mostly used as a jobber on RAW) during WWE Main Event tapings prior to RAW. Also, Mojo hasn’t worked a match on RAW for a while.
Both these things are bad signs for Mojo’s singles push.
