Ryder made Mojo into the best version of himself and now that Rawley's been forced into a singles guy using that Hyper Haymaker/Hype Hammer corner punch to the face as a finished, I think he could be your next IC Champion As odd as this may seem, I think Hype Bros actually mellowed him out a little.

His character will work so much better on the main roster than NXT.

Mojo's pretty inoffensive to me. Not super talented in any way, but there's always room on a roster for guys like him.

I like him. He has a goofy charisma about him that I enjoy.
Thank God that he got rid of the Earthquake splash as a finisher though, because that was my biggest problem with him before.
The Hammertime thing is so ridiculous that it always strikes my fancy whenever I see it.

I quite like the guy. He's not a fan but I can watch his matches and segments and enjoy them enough.
Which is more than I can say for Rollins who is a channel changer.

I don't mind him, he's a fun, goofy mid card guy

I don't mind him at all. He's pretty green but I like his gimmick. Surprised so many people think he's goofy when he's got one of the most grounded in reality gimmicks; a pro-athlete hypeman. He's doing the same stuff that goes on in locker rooms before games. Why doesn't that work with wrestling? He might not be putting on five star classics but he's confident in the ring. I could see him improving quickly.

The look, the bad wrestling, the bad character, what's not to like.

I could see him improving quickly. It goes back to the problem with the gimmick even if he's doing that stuff. One of the best things a hoss can have is high intensity. not the stuff they claimed for Vance Archer- if a hoss is INTENSE and HIGH-ENERGY, the fans know it. All the best hosses who kind of lacked in-ring ability but somehow managed to get really over at the time- Ahmed Johnson, Ryback...even Goldberg- all are great examples of that factor. Mojo Rawley, for all his weaknesses- HAS THAT by the bucketload. The only problem is that, with these trappings, all these amazing benefits that could make a great superstar end up making him look...well, really, really annoying and turns his biggest strength in the ring into a reason to not like the guy.

I hated him at first on NXT but hes grown on me during his tag run with Zack. I liked how the dynamic of the goof Zack Ryder being the straight man and it worked well.

Some of it is that with wrestling fandom having slid firmly, and fairly deeply, back into the geek-o-sphere, Mojo (being a jock/frat type) is a guy that most fans these days can't identify with.

He is a perfectly fine lower/midcard pop-the-crowd act.

I love the guy. He's got tons of energy. He seems genuinely happy to be a wrestler. He is the company's most underrated promo and is the only superstar that can cut a promo in Arabic(!). He's great with fans, especially kids.
I buy him as a pro wrestler. He'd probably have benefitted from training and wrestling in Japan before he came to WWE. I'm glad he is on the roster.

If I was going to figure out like, 5 workers WWE could do without, he wouldn't make that list. I am mostly indifferent to him, but like Platypus said, his finisher with Ryder is nifty.

A lot of questionable workers would be lucky if the list is only limited to 5, because The Bollywood Boyz are eating up two of those slots before it even gets made.
