10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 2017

10. Bobby Roode Moves From NXT To WWE To...GFW?

A pro wrestling curio here, and one relatively lost to time because WWE didn't give a single sh*t enough to do anything about it.

Jeff Jarrett's short-lived Global Force Wrestling had worked with both New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling during the mid-2010s, but had also gone to the trouble of putting some television tapings in the can as part of a wider launch that never really happened.

It was in 2017 when they finally saw the light of day, but wrestling had moved on so rapidly between the recordings and airings that GFW had to be a little creative with the appearance of one star in particular.

Or, more specifically, in the case of Bobby Roode, they said he'd "jumped" back from his spot on NXT!

The 'Glorious' one was midway through his celebrated stint on the black-and-gold brand and would make the jump to the main roster later that year. The "GFW Amped" appearances fell right in between, with present day recorded commentary cheekily suggesting that he was thrilled to be working triple duty.
