WWE & Bobby Roode React To His Appearance At WWE NXT Takeover: Dallas

Apr 2, 2016

WWE.com published an article on Bobby Roode attending last night’s NXT TakeOver: Dallas event. Roode is a former TNA world champion, but he recently left the company. You can read an excerpt on Roode appearing at the event below.

As if the sight of Kota Ibushi at NXT TakeOver: Dallas wasn’t enough to get the rumor mill rolling, another highly acclaimed grappler was revealed amid a sea of NXT fans. Former World Champion Bobby Roode was shown watching the liveWWE Network event very closely from his seat in the capacity crowd. But why was the veteran competitor at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas?

Just like with Ibushi, WWE.com can only speculate at the moment, but there are immediate thoughts of dream showdowns between Roode and the NXT roster’s elite. Perhaps Roode was just there to watch the hottest show in town. Or maybe he was there to scout potential future opponents. Going by the reaction of the NXT Universe when Roode was shown in attendance, fans were certainly excited by the prospect of the latter possibility.

Roode later commented on his appearance and linked to the above article later on his Twitter account. You can check out his tweet below.
