6 Bobby Roode Feuds WWE Should Book On Main Roster
6. Shinsuke Nakamura
This is a rivalry that we have seen recently in NXT, but it is deserving of a bigger stage.
The atmosphere in the Freeman Coliseum at TakeOver: San Antonio in January was absolutely electric. All 9,465 fans in attendance were on their feet singing along to the two best crowd-pumping entrances in WWE. It created a big-fight feel and the match, albeit with an injury angle finish, largely delivered as Roode beat Nakamura for the NXT title.
Imagine that scene unfolding in front of 75,000 people at WrestleMania, because this is a match worthy of a big-four pay-per-view. It would undoubtedly be a WrestleMania moment.
Roode successfully defended in their rematch on 'Mania weekend this year, inflicting upon 'The King of Strong Style’ his only clean loss in NXT and giving Nakamura an immediate incentive to go after the Canadian now that he is on the main roster.
The retribution aspect of any second feud between the two NXT alumni is likely to see Nakamura even the score, but a loss would not be too damaging to Roode if he is sharing the stage with one of the most popular and credible stars on SmackDown.
