– Mojo Rawley discussed his reaction to the Kevin Owens/Vince McMahon headbutt on Smackdown, his NXT run and more in a new interview with William Mullally. The highlights are below:

On his reaction to Kevin Owens headbutting Vince McMahon: “I walked past right as he got headbutted in the face and I was like, ‘Wait, what? What?!’ And I backed up to the TV and I’m sitting there with my jaw all the way down to my feet. It was like, ‘Are you kidding me right now? Did that really just happen?’ And then he proceeded to deliver the beating of a lifetime… Man, you gotta hope Vince is alright. Of course we all know how tough he is, but man, that was brutal.”

On his time in NXT: “The Full Sail crowd was one that I had a very special relationship with, when I first debuted they were right there with me and very supportive. There was a while where they soured on me and I was very appreciative of that because it motivated me. ‘Why are people not supporting me like they used to? What do I need to do better?’ To come full circle, my last stretch there they were right back with me…I appreciate their honesty, their enthusiasm. They’re kind of like the catalyst and the springboard for all the shows that we go to all across the world. They come up with these ridiculous and awesome chants, they come in with their posters and they set that level of hype that all these other cities that we go to feel compelled to match or beat. They have that attitude where it’s ‘Full Sail vs. the world,’ and in the end, we all win because the fans get into it.”
