MOJO RISING

For WWE Superstar Mojo Rawley (born Dean Muhtadi), the ascent to the pinnacle of the sports-entertainment world has been an unlikely journey. After working his way up from the lowest levels of college foot-ball all the way to the NFL, Rawley began a second career in the world of professional wrestling. Since his arrival, the now 33-year old Rawley has quickly risen through the ranks of the WWE to become one of the most electric performers in the industry. Prior to his likely appearance at WrestleMania set to livestream from Orlando, Florida, Rawley spoke to Maxim about his extraordinary path to the WWE.
