#4 Replaying the Bobby Roode hit in Slow Motion

Bobby Roode was traded to RAW in the Superstar Shake-Up and since then is seemingly lost in the shuffle. Since his main event RAW debut, Roode has not been seen doing anything relevant. He lost to Elias last week and oversold an injury this week.

Not taking anything away from Elias, he deserves a win as much as Roode does on the flagship show of WWE, but Roode could have been made better use of by playing a heel and attacking a happy go lucky character such as No Way Jose.

In this week's match, while Elias and Roode were putting on a decent matchup, in one spot, Elias drove Roode through what was supposed to be throat first into the turnbuckle. Roode hit his chest on the turnbuckle and fell to the outside of the ring while clenching his throat. Roode did an amazing job of selling this move, but WWE went on and replayed this move in slo-mo.

They didn't have to replay this spot if they didn't have a good angle and especially when Roode clearly didn't hurt his throat. Not many people would have noticed this move if the replay in slo-mo was not shown.
