Mojo Rawley wanted some big names for the Black Label Pro combine.
The event, which will take place on September 4, 2024, will feature some big names from around the world of wrestling like Jordynne Grace, Ash By Elegance, Mandy Sacs, Moose, Mike Rallis, and Xia Li. The promotion is partnering with DraftKings for the event.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Rawley talked about the process of deciding competitors for the event, noting that DraftKings wanted people with a big social media presence and people that know how to create entertaining content.
"There was a lot of names to go through, a lot of conversations that were had behind the scene. Part of this was also finding people that could promote because DraftKings is sponsoring this entire thing, right? So they wanted people, not only that would be physically in shape, but people with big social media followings that know how to cut a promo, create entertaining content. Our people have just absolutely smashed it with that. I mean, Jordan Grace's announcement video did 12.5 million views. Like that's ridiculous. It went viral. That's kind of the definition of going viral. We needed to find people that could move the needle that would make people excited that didn't
actually look strong or had a gimmick of being strong, but were actual weight room warriors that have legitimate experiences outside of pro wrestling, but also are some of the biggest and best names in pro wrestling as well."
Elsewhere in the interview, Mojo Rawley talked about how Mike Rallis (Madcap Moss) had all of the combine records at the WWE PC. Learn more about those comments here.
