Former heavyweight pro-wrestler Mojo Rawley has been on a profit soaring path following his career break from WWE.
The once popular wrestling figure appeared on SHAK Wrestling podcast and professed his successful business transition, asserting that he has experienced phenomenal accomplishment beyond the wrestling domain. He expressed,
“On a more personal note, I was shocked to discover that within three or four months, I was earning more than I ever did during my top earning year at WWE. I spent a decade with this establishment, building my identity and status within the company, and remarkably, it didn’t take too long to monetize my brand—Mojo—and ‘Stay Hyped’ outside wrestling circles.”
In partnership with others, Rawley created the Paragon Talent Group, a firm that provides services to talent spread across wrestling platforms such as WWE, AEW, TNA, NJPW, and independent leagues. He went on to elaborate:
“As Paragon evolved, we began focusing on our other talents. Initially, we were centered around third-party brand partnerships, sponsorships, and endorsements of that nature. Currently, we are managing lasting contracts with WWE, AEW, TNA, New Japan and practically all other platforms. We’re coordinating autograph signings with the indies, and still handling third-party brand contracts. Notably, we’ve managed to find roles for our talent in movies, TV shows and commercials.”
In an insightful conversation on “Not Sam Wrestling” podcast earlier this year, wrestler Karrion Kross looked back at his stint with The Wyatt Sicks during their feud in 2024 and early 2025. Kross shared that he enjoyed bringing out different aspects of his character while working with The Wyatt Sicks, including the use of dark humor and revisiting elements from his early independent wrestling days. He further talked about his intent to honor the vision of the late Bray Wyatt while emphasizing his dedication to curate a storyline that Wyatt would have appreciated.
In his interaction with Adrian Hernandez, Kross was asked about his experience working with The Wyatt Sicks. He responded,
“For me, it was not challenging, rather it was fun. I brought a lot of unique ideas to the table which I was hopeful we could try. There is still a lot we can do with The Wyatt Sicks. I am looking towards implementing the concepts that Windham and I had put forth that will complement their storyline. There were phenomenal storylines that Windham and Nick Manfredini, a brilliant writer at WWE, were working on for me. They had planned a scene where I would be in church, appearing as if I was confessing something. At the end of the scene, they wanted me to wear the Fiend mask. This represented Wyatt having to confront the side of him that he was hesitant about. Jason Baker had made stunning masks for Wyatt. He suggested the idea of giving me a ‘symbiote’ of The Fiend on my shoulder and up my arm. It was indeed [goosebumps].”
He continued, “I felt greatly honored to be part of these storylines that were so captivating. I came up with fresh ideas that were emotionally striking. I am ready to revisit that path and play the role of a villain that Windham would have liked. At a point, even the strongest characters need a challenger. I want to be that for The Wyatt Sicks.”
