Bobby Roode to NXT has been rumored for months ever since we saw him in the crowd at NXT Takeover Dallas a couple months ago. The WWE teased his signing again at NXT Takeover The End where he was shown backstage talking to William Regal. Roode is best known for his work in TNA for a number of years. It appears that Bobby Roode is officially with the WWE full time now as he wrestled a surprise match at the Download Festival in the UK on Saturday.

The WWE posted the news on social media on Saturday morning:

Roode reportedly faced Angelo Dawkins in his first ever match with NXT.

Seems a bit odd that he made his debut at a live event and not on NXT TV but regardless I am happy to see him finally make his debut! Let us know what you think about him making his debut and what your plans are for his future moving forward.
