10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (April 23)

8. What Does Roode Do For An Encore?

When he debuted on Raw last week, Bobby Roode made quite the entrance, emerging as the mystery fifth man in a 10-man tag match.

That appearance seemed to be a position of respect and prominence for the veteran Roode, which is surprising considering how he had become a third wheel in the ongoing United States Championship feud. But now, he has joined Raw presumably as a top-level performer.

Will that hold? Will the Glorious One get a high-profile position on Raw, or will he spin his wheels? A lot could be gleaned from how he’s used this week. If he gets a prominent match or promo, then it could bode well for him. But if he’s stuck as an extra body in another multi-man match, we might have to reassess his worth to the brand.
