#8 Bobby Roode To RAW - 2018

Things haven't been as Glorious

Bobby Roode's underwhelming run on WWE's main roster has been talked to death about, but here's once more.

After incredible runs in Impact Wrestling and NXT, where he was a big star a Heavyweight Champion on both, Bobby Roode made his main roster debut on the post-SummerSlam episode of SmackDown in 2017. The naturally born to be a wrestling heel Roode would debut as a babyface, which totally killed his momentum. His run on SmackDown wasn't great, but he at least saw the main event from time to time, became WWE United States Champion and gave arguably his best overall WWE performance with Randy Orton at Fastlane.

The 'Glorious' one was drafted to RAW during the Superstar Shakeup after WrestleMania, and his career took a completely different turn. After a few months of a boring feud with Elias and next to no main show TV time, Roode formed an unusual tag team with Chad Gable. Surprisingly, the two became WWE RAW Tag Team Champions and held them for a few months before losing them to The Revival.

Now while his run on SmackDown was not Hall of Fame worthy, it was still far better than his run on RAW. I honestly think the only thing that can save him now is to turn heel and perhaps also return to SmackDown, where he has had far more success as a solo act.
