#4 Roderick Strong turns heel

The Undisputed Era controls a lot of gold now.

I guess Strong just needed some time to finally consider the Undisputed Era’s offer from a few months ago. I didn’t expected him to finally join them on Saturday.

I am not going to lie. I didn’t expect Roderick Strong to turn heel on Pete Dunne and cost them the NXT Tag Title Championship match. Strong has been portrayed as such a sympathetic babyface.

Then to watch Strong turn on the generally heel Dunne was a pretty shocking moment. It really set up the Undisputed Era as extremely powerful faction going forward and it gives the entire WWE UK division a meaningful storyline going forward. It was a shocking moment that leads to some really fun things going forward.
