On the subject of being over, Bobby Roode has become an even bigger star since ditching TNA and signing on the dotted line with WWE earlier this year. Following some minor grumbles about why Roode is in NXT and not on the main roster, the former tag-team specialist has made the brand his home.

Ready for a match opposite 'The Perfect 10' Tye Dillinger, Roode was first out from behind the curtain at TakeOver: Toronto. In dazzling fashion, his theme music was performed by a live choir. Flanking the entrance, these men and women did a wonderful job setting the scene for Bobby's entrance.

When that familiar 'Glorious' refrain kicked in, everyone inside the Air Canada Centre promptly lost their minds. The production, yet again, was simply spectacular and really helped make Roode look like a big deal for his opening match.

Little touches like having the live choir there only add to the overall atmosphere. Straight away, TakeOver in Toronto seemed like an important event to WWE, rather than just another show.
