Maryland Football: Mojo Rawley brings Maryland flavor to Wrestlemania 33

Getting hyped up for a big wrestling match has never been an issue for Mojo Rawley.

The former Maryland defensive lineman is set to make his Wrestlemania debut on Sunday evening at the WWE’s marquee event.

Rawley, whose real name is Dean Muhtadi, will compete in the fourth annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The event honors the former WWF World Heavywweight Champion that stood a mind-numbing 7’4 and weighed 520 pounds.

Baron Corbin, The Big Show, and Cesaro have previously won the annual event.

Prior to being a WWE superstar, Muhtadi was a productive college football player that started off at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va.
