#3 UP: Bobby Roode
I have a feeling that Bobby Roode is extremely grateful to be under a WWE contract right now. He just seems so comfortable in the NXT ring, and if you watch closely, you'll notice he's having fun for a change, which is something that didn’t happen in TNA.
Bobby Roode is a proven veteran, former world champion and more than capable of the main roster workload. On New Years Day, Roode will turn 40 years old. Combine that, with his accolades and the fact that he's been a professional wrestler for nearly two decades; it only makes sense to send this guy up.
Wrestling is becoming more and more a young man's sport, and father time will soon catch up with Bobby. So, let's let the guy show the world what he's got left on the big stage. I have a feeling we will all be pleasantly surprised.
#3 DOWN: Mojo Rawley
Mojo Rawley is a very likeable young man. It's very obvious, especially upon meeting him, that he loves being a professional wrestler. He's a big guy, and yes, he possesses a few intangibles necessary for success in this business, but he lacks that ever elusive and always vital "it factor."
Mojo could very well have a lengthy career, but I sincerely doubt it can be on the main roster. It's just impossible to picture him as a champion, or for that matter, even take him seriously.
Mojo is an interesting guy, but I just have a hard time seeing him as a true contender on such a high level. Not to mention the whole Hype Bros ordeal is doing nothing more than holding Ryder back, in my opinion.
It all comes down to what makes sense, and as far as long-term potential, it's just appears the path with NXT would seem to be a more viable option for Mojo.
