A 17-year pro, there was a time when it seemed like Bobby Roode would never make it to WWE. Spending years of his career in TNA, Roode went as far as he could in the promotion. Achieving everything, it was clear that a change was needed. The wrestler himself had his eye on a WWE run.

Signing on the dotted line this year, Roode eventually made his way onto NXT programming. Since making his in-ring debut at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, the man has went from strength to strength on the brand. Talking to The LAW, Roode pointed towards an unorthodox reason for that success.

On social media, fans lapped up Bobby Roode's new WWE entrance music. Entitled, 'Glorious Domination', that theme is one Roode believes helped him immensely to gain recognition in the WWE system. Citing the catchy nature of the song, Roode thinks those writing the tune deserve a ton of credit.

It's likely Roode's talent would have shone through even if he had been given something more generic. Even so, it's interesting to hear him make such an observation.
