WWE has made it clear that it is making Rob Gronkowski a big part of its plans.

Not only was Gronk named the host for WrestleMania 36, which took place over two days this weekend for the first time, but he also got involved in the competition.

After the Edge-Randy Orton match, Mojo Rawley ran into the ring and was chased by a bunch of a wrestlers. Out of nowhere, Gronk jumped on top of the pile and pinned Rawley to win the 24/7 Championship.

Being the 24/7 Champion means that Gronk will now have to watch his back at all times because other wrestlers will be looking to take the belt from him at all times. This was a good way to get Gronk involved in the storylines in a bigger way.

The former NFL tight end made his first WWE appearance as a host last month and is quickly becoming a bigger part of things.
