Despite still wearing bright yellow short-shorts Mojo Rawley is a changed man. In the final first round bout of the US title tournament The Hype Bros exploded as Rawley faced off with Zack Ryder.
After knocking out Ryder on social media, Rawley took care of business tonight (Jan. 9) on SmackDown.

In a five minute match, Rawley mostly beat Ryder pillar to post. The end would come for Ryder off a Manhattan Drop into Rawley hitting his finisher in the corner.
I like Mojo's forearm finisher, but I don't like cutting away to that camera angle when he hits it. pic.twitter.com/qa7oh00RAM

Other than his ring gear, we’re 100% on board with an aggressive heel Rawley. What are your thoughts on this new eviler version of Mojo?
The final four of the US title tourney is now set with Mojo Rawley vs. Bobby Roode and Jinder Mahal vs. Xavier Woods making up the final four. Who is your pick to take home the US title?
