Must avoid glorious joke. Must avoid glorious joke. Must avoid glorious joke.

Bobby Roode has been simply glorious since arriving in NXT in June of this year, quickly establishing himself as a top heel despite coming in to all sorts of devoted chants. He's also managed to solidify himself as a heel despite having the best entrance music in professional wrestling today, which is no small feat in front of the singalong-happy Full Sail crowd.

Roode would be an excellent man to carry the NXT Championship. He was arguably the most natural of TNA's champions, a man who looks like a star and carries himself as one to boot. Roode has the 'It Factor' that he so frequently spoke of whilst in TNA, and WWE isn't likely to miss this boat.

Unless Option Numero One on this list happens, I would expect a Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Bobby Roode NXT Championship bout to occur sooner rather than later .
