7 Booking Steps For Bobby Roode On WWE's Main Roster

7. NXT Swansong

Logically speaking, Brooklyn seems like an appropriate time for Roode to take his NXT leave. He lost the title cleanly in the night's main event, and with Adam Cole attacking his conqueror thereafter, it seems there will be no opportunity for him to win it back.

But the obvious way to bring him into the main roster fray - the rumoured Superstar Shake-Up we keep hearing so much about - has yet to be formally announced, so perhaps we should keep a lid on our excitement for now.

Roode could do worse than to stick around in Florida for just a little while longer - long enough for him to have another match with Roderick Strong, ideally - so that he can bow out with the sort of decisive win befitting a man who has outgrown the developmental ranks.
