10 HUGE WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Predictions You Need To Know
5. Roode Awakening
Here, guys, Dolph Ziggler is just the worst, isn't he? Isn't he? Isn't he just the worst? I know, he's awful, isn't he? Just awful.
Imagine for a second that that little irritating aside made up the entirety of this entry. Repetition of empty sentiment. Getting angrier, and whinier, and less impactful with every fleeting moan. That's somehow been the rationale for Dolph Ziggler's persistence on SmackDown Live! in the past month to build up to what should actually be a very good match with Bobby Roode.
Roode's 'Glorious' entrance is undeniably infectious, but it's far from the only reason why his presence on the blue brand is so valued in a period desperately light on stars. Frankly, his arrival was as much to supplant the remaining dross from a used and abused era of misdirected talent - just like Dolph.
A understated and polished technician, Roode showed flashes of being a phenomenal babyface in TNA when he wasn't relied upon for his sterling heel work. Fresh out of the box on the main roster, Bobby's only goal should be not just to beat Ziggler, but to make a far more enjoyable fist of it than Shinsuke Nakamura did following his own NXT call-up.
