5 Sidelined WWE Stars Who May Receive A Push When They Return (5 Who Won't)
6. Will NOT - Robert Roode
Like The Singh Brothers, Robert Roode has not show up to work because of travel issues.
Nevertheless, 'The Glorius One' never took part in an entertaining storyline ever since he jumped on to the main roster. He captured the United States Championship but had a forgettable reign as champion. Next, Roode tried his luck in the RAW tag team division and rose to the department's top with different partners. Still, the inconsistent booking that he received did not help his character.
Robert's last rivalry was against Roman Reigns and The Usos, a feud where he jobbed to the Samoans. In his absence, WWE moved his tag team partner Dolph Ziggler to the singles division. 'The Showoff' even wrestled his first one-on-one WrestleMania bout this year. Ziggler's alliance with Sonya Deville will last for an extended period. Involving Roode in the mix could be a decent choice.
However, that would not earn him a singles title shot. The former NXT Champion would struggle to find a place in the upper mid-card. His personality was not on the same level as that of Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, or even Otis. The best thing that the backstage officials could allow him to do is to chase the tag titles with Ziggler. He might never get the main event push that he gained in the developmental territory.
